Business Resiliency Solutions - Redesign your workforce and workplace
The need to redefine business resiliency has become stunningly clear in 2020. Yesterday, resiliency meant ensuring that applications and data would be always available and secure. But the 2020 events did not impact applications and data. Instead, they disrupted the workforce and the workplace. Offices closed, the workforce stayed home, and we sprinted to provide access to Online Meetings so work could continue and companies could survive. To thrive in an ever-changing future, we need to redefine business resiliency by reimagining and redesigning our workforce and workplaces for the future of work. Segment due to run for 10 minutes.

Previous Cloud clomms summit events
“It’s great to sync up with people and get fresh perspectives.”
“The Cloud Comms Summit breaks all cloud communications industry barriers and creates opportunity.”
“The most useful two days I have spent this year, we learned a huge amount across some interesting and inspirational sessions and were able to meet a lot of new contacts in a very short space of time in a very open and relaxed environment. Thank you.”
“The Cavell Cloud Comms Summit really nails it for me. It’s big enough to attract a ton of interesting people from our telco target market but small enough to give you the opportunity to talk to them close up. We will definitely be coming to the next one.”
“A great opportunity to gain knowledge of key developments and progression within the Cloud Comms and Networking market, meet old friends, and make new ones. Recommended!”
“What an excellent event. Great access to some of the industries movers and shakers.”
“The CCS was an outstanding event, bringing together the brain-trust of the industry for a visionary look at the future.”
“I was impressed with the interactions by all the members and willingness to engage. I also was excited to see so many old friends.”
