The finalists for our annual Best in Enterprise Connect award offer a glimpse into the future of communications and, in the era of hybrid teams, into the future of work as well. Based on this year’s crop, the words that characterize that future seem to be: intelligent, secure, and virtual.
We started the awards several years ago to recognize the accelerating pace of innovation in enterprise communications/collaboration, and this year’s program is the first one to take place entirely within the COVID era. (Our 2020 process launched in late 2019.) So, it was inevitable that this year’s entrants would all be responding, in one way or another, to the altered reality that the pandemic has presented to enterprises.
