This is the time of year when we traditionally look ahead to what’s coming next. Given that, and given the holiday season that’s upon us, I think it’s fitting to open with a question, phrased in Latin. “Quo Vadis” means “where are you going”, and that’s what we need to consider now, and for UC/UCC that starts by tossing something away—the “U”—and replacing it with a “V”.
There is absolutely nothing unified about communications today, and contending with that truth is our mission for 2023. This is where my “V” comes in: i stands for “virtual,” and the coming transformation in communications and collaboration both targets “virtuality” and accommodates it.
