  • AI


    The digital experience gives us tremendous opportunities to service our customers more efficiently and to collect the data about that engagement to make it even better the next time. Organizations need solutions smart enough to customize future interactions, notice trends and provide real-time insights, enabling your teams to make the best business decisions possible through AI and Analytics. The ability to collect data from relevant, disparate sources and to correlate that data in a unified interface for meaningful analysis in both instantaneous and historical trending scenarios can be a game-changer for your organization.

    AI and Analytics sessions focus on integrations to see the entire picture of a customer’s journey with your brand, anticipate customer interaction needs, and analyze these experiences. Sessions covering a range of trends such as artificial intelligence, speech, social, and machine learning will spark ideas on how to reinvent your organization’s business models and customer experience.

  • CLOUD


    What does cloud really mean? Which cloud solutions are the right fit for your business? Can you have both cloud and premise-based components in the same organization, and when can a hybrid approach make sense? This track will cover things you need to consider as you head down the path of evaluating a full or partial cloud solution for your organization. Businesses that previously deployed only premise-based solutions because of security, industry compliance, or management concerns are finding that modern cloud architecture can offer cost savings and can simplify management and deployment without sacrificing security or in-house control. The ability to easily deploy and scale resources to match your business cycles is staggering! These sessions will cover different deployment options and best practices for each type of implementation.

Content includes shared examples of how attendees can achieve consistency and increased satisfaction across all customer touch points in a digital experience. Focused specifically on customer experience in the digital era, many sessions will explore hot topics like contact centers in the cloud, integrating new capabilities while protecting investment, popular outbound and improvements in self-service methods, and automation designs to help personalize and improve the customer experience and deliver an exceptional and efficient experience across all interactions.

  • DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION (BUSINESS STRATEGIES)


    How does digital transformation affect the customer and the business? When someone says that they want to digitally transform their business, what does one really mean, why do they want to do it, and how should they approach this “digital transformation” process?

    Digital transformation isn’t just about knowing where you want to end up — it’s about knowing how you’ll get there and which tools you’ll need to move together as a team towards that destination.

    Most businesses today are looking to handle the different aspects of their digital transformation — and while a few have already charged ahead to light the way, many others are just starting out. No matter where you are along the path these business focused sessions will help you, your team and your company identify solutions that are powered by the customer, product, and operational insights to enhance customer value, physical facilities, products and processes.

    You have questions, we have thought-leading customers, industry experts, innovation partners, and Avaya professionals to help break through the perceived complexity, answer your burning questions, and help your business take advantage of these new technologies.

  • DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION & INNOVATION


    How will Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Augmented Reality (AR), Blockchain, Machine Learning, and “SMART” Solutions impact your business? How does combining WebRTC/SIP/GPS with AI, AR, and IoT create smart solutions for Next Gen Emergency Services, Transform Healthcare, Enhance Hospitality, Revolutionize Transportation, Enable a Smart Government or a Smart Enterprise? How do we evolve to new levels of capability while avoiding security risks?

    These and many such technology innovations bring value to the business, increase speed, lower effort and cost and deliver results more effectively.

  • LEADERSHIP & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT


    Have you ever asked yourself “How can I get into a role where I can be more customer-facing? How can I be like those people I see on the stage?” or thought “What tips and tricks do I have for planning for the future in an ever-changing industry?” You’re not alone. Many of us want to see our careers progress from junior to senior to lead or manager. To do this we must focus on growing our technical skills, contributing to open source projects, and working on side projects. Technical skills will only get you so far. To truly succeed you need to master the soft skills: personal characteristics that enable people to interact effectively with others and are critical for any successful technical initiative.

    In this track we will cover the basics of culture in terms of IT's current context and the need to adapt to a rapidly changing business and technology landscape. These sessions will provide tools to help the audience determine how they can understand what kind of culture they have at the team, IT, or organizational level.

    Shared knowledge is our greatest resource and we learn best from others who have walked the path before us.

  • SERVICES

We will cover legacy tools such as Avaya Site Administrator to the newest up-and-coming tools from Avaya and 3rd parties. After you have your tools, you will also learn about services available from Avaya direct, business partners, and other 3rd parties.
