Today, Tango Networks announced Tango Extend. It is a big announcement from a small company. Tango Extend is about to up-end the global UCaaS market. It is the latest, arguably biggest, iteration of UCaaS Mobility 3.0 (UCM3). As I wrote in “The Convergence and Evolution of Enterprise Calling,” I’ve grouped the evolution of UC/UCaaS and mobility into three stages. The first stage was largely accomplished with creative call forwarding; the second generation of UC/UCaaS mobility relied on smartphone apps. The third stage – UCM3 – puts the UCaaS number natively on the cell phone and essentially combines cellular and UCaaS into a single solution.
