Cybersecurity is an ongoing, growing threat, and all businesses are a target. The conventional approach to protecting what’s behind your four walls is not aligned with the realities of today’s workplace, let alone what the future of work holds in store. Not only does hybrid work mean distributed teams, but also a lot of virtual interaction via an Internet connection. Data security and privacy risks become elevated well beyond what’s needed for a physical office environment, and this raises two sets of future of work challenges. First are the threats that IT must manage to protect the network and all the data running across it. The second challenge pertains to employees, whose personal privacy needs to be protected whether working at home or in the office. Both challenges must be addressed, not just to ensure business continuity, but to maintain employee trust as AI-driven applications become ever-more pervasive. Cybersecurity is more important than ever with future of work, and this panel will review leading technologies and best practices for IT.

When it comes to deploying leading edge technology, the future of work will not be all that different from the world of gamers, where immersive experiences become an appealing proxy for in-person experiences, and for some, the preferred option. Many of these forms are already finding their way into the workplace; virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and even the metaverse. While these may be years away from being mainstream, immersive forms of interaction will be FOW-friendly, especially for businesses trying to improve employee engagement with hybrid work. Before going too far down this path, IT needs a clear sense of the use cases, as well as the technologies required to support these new modes. Only when those pieces are in place can virtual options become reality, and that’s where our panelists will bring their expertise to bear.

Using Content-Based Analytics to Mitigate Adverse Call Labeling of Legitimate Enterprise Communications

Caller ID Reputation
Warning labels take different shapes and forms across the top service providers based on the data provided by carrier-partnered 3rd party analytics companies. Each of the top carriers offers a free service to block calls identified in the highest risk category by their third-party analytics. As such, calls identified as Scam, Scam Likely, Fraud Risk, or Potential Fraud (the exact terminology varies across service providers) can impede legitimate enterprise communications. in the battle against illegal robocalls, it is important to note that analytics approaches may be defined by two broad categories: (1) Event-based analytics and (2) Content-based analytics. Content-based analytics refers to an in-depth investigation of the phone call content to subjectively explain what has happened. Event-based analytics “relies on network signaling such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages and other call related data.” In looking at both approaches, it’s important to take note of a few critical differences. Attendees of this session will learn the role and importance of content-based analytics technology and solutions to prevent inappropriate call labeling and remediation of telephone number reputation for legitimate enterprises.

Just as we were getting comfortable with first generation AI applications like chatbots, translation and transcription, along came ChatGPT in 2023. This took AI to a new level, and we’re still grappling with how it fits for future of work. Nothing stands still with AI, though, and the latest wave in the revolution is large language models (LLM). With each new breakthrough, AI becomes more strategic than tactical, and IT leaders need to think in terms of the organization-wide impact rather than point applications like speech-to-text. Just as Generative AI became part of the FOW lexicon last year, LLM is this year’s acronym, and you might be surprised at how it can drive new business value.

Seamless connectivity for a distributed workforce is a must-have when planning for future of work. Not only is state-of-the art technology critical for driving anywhere, anytime productivity, but it must enable smart workplace capabilities for all settings – in office, at home or on the go. The implications for IT are foundational, as the rise of digital transformation is creating both new forms of data, and massive volumes of data that would overwhelm legacy-based networks. Each of these needs represent major challenges for IT, but also major opportunities to rethink how data networks can deliver new value. Just as networks had to adapt when shifting from hardware to software, future of work will dictate the need for enhanced connectivity and data management capabilities to harness all this data. New approaches need to be considered, such as SD WAN and private 5G, and this panel will assess the merits of each, along with how IT can become an agent of change for FOW.

Workplace norms have become very fluid, not just with the rise of hybrid work, but the challenges of managing workloads that never seem to ease up. AI-based technologies are creating ever-expanding volumes of data that need to be managed, and without the right tools, workers can be easily overwhelmed. Knowledge management capabilities are essential for finding the right data for the task at hand, and applying it to improve performance. Without this, employee engagement will suffer, and some will even view AI as being on track to take their jobs. While AI is driving much of this new data creation, it can also be deployed for knowledge management to help workers navigate all this data. This will give workers a sense of agency, where human input still has value, and AI is viewed more as job enhancement than job replacement. The future of work will very much be technology-driven, but there will be no workers if everything is automated, and this session examines the nuanced approach that IT leaders must take with AI that does not erode employee engagement.

For businesses that manage a contact center, these operations have long been viewed as a cost center that runs separately from everything else. This may still hold true to some extent, but the prevailing thinking for any business that aspires to being customer-centric is quite different. In today’s post-pandemic world, employee engagement is a key factor for hybrid work, and that applies to all employees, not just those in the office. Consider as well the strategic importance of providing great customer experiences, and how agent engagement is a key factor for CX. With agents being on the front lines with your customers, there is too much at stake for business leaders to view them as replaceable labor units in a cost center. Instead, they need to be viewed as valuable enablers for customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. That’s the lens through which this session will view contact center agents, and why they should be an integral part of your future of work strategy.

Microsoft Teams has surpassed 300 million active users, and the most recent public statistics show that more than 15 million are telephony enabled. As the dominant collaboration platform, it is an easy choice for Microsoft-centric IT teams to choose Teams for their various IT needs. As customers increasingly adopt Teams, cloud providers are being asked to support them in ways that may threaten to undercut their UCaaS businesses. No cloud provider can take on Teams directly and win, so they must co-exist and somehow make the best of the situation. But, the telephony piece is anything but simple, and PSTN connectivity isn’t native to Microsoft. Providing an apples-to-apples experience going from desk phones and PBXs to Teams-based calling can be quite challenging. This is what creates opportunities for UCaaS providers. This session will explore the strategies that are available to UCaaS Providers to co-exist and win business in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Technology executives should not think about cloud as a destination, but as an enabler to wrap communications around their entire businesses. The new definition for R.I.P. is Repurpose, Integrate, and Pivot. Attend this session to learn how progressive organizations are repurposing existing infrastructures, integrating communications capabilities and pivoting from a one-size fits all UCaaS model to a solution that is tailored to an organization’s business model.

An AI Optimist possesses an authentic desire to capture the benefits of AI and deploy the technology for customer experience enhancements across all industries. They are not naive; they recognize implementation as a journey, not an immediate transformation, especially within the contact center, where Conversational AI has opened the door for Generative AI (which goes beyond basic guided tours of conversational AI). By leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs), GenAI delivers more life-like conversations with customers, where consumer intent is analyzed for personalized interactions. This session will examine what it means to be an AI Optimist and why companies must avoid carelessly deploying generative AI, as well as jey areas where to deploy GenAI, the benefits of enacting hyper-automation into customer care technology, and how optimists should address the challenges and risks of AI.

Threat actors need to adjust to changes in IT. With the move to cloud, attackers are now taking advantage of trusted cloud services and applications to extract data, distribute malware and launch phishing campaigns. Unfortunately, many organizations are still thinking with an "on-premises" mindset, trying to solve these problem with dated solutions. This session dives into the hacker's perspective on targeting both on-premises systems and cloud infrastructures. Attendees will see case studies from real attacks as well as live demos of these threats, along with a review of multiple discussions from underground forums on how hackers plan and execute their attacks. Last, but not least, the session will explore what a SASE architecture brings to the table when trying to secure today's complex infrastructures.

Peter Graf
Chief Strategy and Operations Officer
Genesys
For decades, organizations have fixated on achieving high Net Promoter Scores (NPS) but had little detail into the “why” behind the score—either good or bad. In today’s experience economy, understanding what makes or breaks customer and employee loyalty is vital to business success. And organizations are taking note: more than 80% of CX leaders believe the ability to measure satisfaction across the entire journey is critical to their business strategy. Providing insights only into the end of the journey, NPS no longer meets the needs it once sought to serve.

Join Dr. Peter Graf, Chief Strategy and Operations Officer at Genesys as he discusses:

  1. Why NPS and similar measurement methods are broken, including the unnecessary blind spots these tools create
  2. Real world scenarios of how a more robust, people-centric methodology, based on what customers and employees value most, is driving better experiences 
  3. How an empathetic approach to experiences will help limit employee turnover, increase customer loyalty, and ultimately become a business differentiator

As return-to-office mandates continue, many organizations struggle with making the in-office experience worthwhile for their teams. People no longer need the office for individual work but instead want to use office time for collaboration, brainstorming, and connection with colleagues. Unfortunately, most offices cannot support these needs because they are designed for how we used to work.

In this keynote, you will step into the future of work, where AI is the heartbeat of innovation, connection, productivity, and collaboration. With AI at the core of workspace design and technology features, we can transform the office experience to support the needs of hybrid workers everywhere.

It’s rather amazing that in 2024, there are still devices out there where rebooting will fix over 60% of issues. It should be a quick fix, but for customers with distributed locations and non-technical staff, that’s not always the case. Think about a retail location. They rely on their internet connection to process transactions, but if their cable modem goes down, you need to verify power and reboot the modem before you can dispatch the carrier. This means taking a salesperson off the floor for 15-20 minutes to find the modem, unplug it, wait, plug it back in and then tell you what the lights are doing on the front of the device. (I was annoyed just typing that sentence; how do you think the store employee feels?) Cable modems are just the beginning. Most network gear needs to be rebooted as part of your tier 1 troubleshooting. Edgeboot is fully programmable to monitor whatever endpoints you desire and take the appropriate action based on your needs. Need console access into a router, firewall, switch, server, etc.? Just log into your portal and start an SSH session. Deploying Edgeboot has allowed Granite to fix 62% of our customer carrier issues in under 10 minutes, fully automated, no support team needed. The other 38% of Granite tickets are automatically generated by Edgeboot to the carrier without human involvement. This has allowed our support team to address issues that do require human intervention much more quickly. Edgeboot can allow your existing team to minimize MTTR, and address your customers in a more timely manner.

Addressing the security poverty line in today’s modern workplace requires a shift away from security that’s built for systems, and rather, for people. Today’s employees expect to work from anywhere, on any device, with a laundry list of applications. Twice as many SaaS applications are used today than in 2019, but 30% aren’t managed by their companies. The industry approach to security is fundamentally broken – layering on expensive, non-integrated tools that offer only temporary fixes and create friction and fatigue for employees. In this session, you'll undersatnd the shift in security over the decades, why legacy security doesn’t satisfy the needs of today’s modern workplace, and why putting people at the heart of security solutions can help close the gap between convenience and security.

Zero Trust Network Access is being tackled by many companies in many different ways. Each of which offer a component of Zero Trust. As they say, it's a journey. By making it so convoluted, we will find that customers don't want to take that journey. At its core, Zero Trust should mean that the network boundary and the application boundary work together to ensure that the appropriate users are accessing only their allowed information. If vendors make this too complicated, customers will stick to what they know (VPN). ZTNA doesn't need to be difficult to ensure appropriate access, and Netgate has a solution that takes a giant leap towards meeting the DoD Zero Trust Maturity Model outlined in April of 2023.

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just the dominant trend in tech, but also the most transformative force for future of work. Every aspect of work will be transformed by AI – how we work, where we work, why we work, etc. – but no operation inside a business is being impacted more right now than the contact center. The reason is simple – AI can address many of the shortcomings of legacy-based contact centers that are having ripple effects across the entire business. Today’s digital customers have adopted new technology faster than contact centers, and as their expectations keep rising, the business risk keeps rising as well. When agents don’t have the right tools, customer service suffers, along with their performance and morale. Business leaders cannot afford to wait for a years-long modernization program, and the contact center is a prime use case when considering the role of AI in your future of work plans. Great success stories are in the market right now, and we’ll be sharing some of them during this session.

This discussion focuses on the role IT plays in overcoming generational differences and enables workers to not only succeed, but thrive.

Technology considerations for future of work are focused mainly on workers and what we will need as individuals to make us more productive. The environment in which our work gets done plays a critical role as well, and new thinking is emerging around the role of workspaces. Few businesses can be fully remote, but many are struggling with RTO, return to office. As employees become more comfortable working from home, office environments need to provide a better experience, and supporting both has become a core future of work challenge. Making the office a “magnet” requires more than free lunch, and with advances in areas like AI, 5G and biometrics, there are promising technology-based opportunities to consider. This may be the domain of IT, but a broader vision is needed to fully rethink the office, and this session will also look at the role facilities management and HR can play for the future of workspace.

Agility is the watchword for 2024, as organizations face continuous pressure to be competitive, to innovate, and nurture an engaged workforce. The work from home model remains fluid, and a top-down style of command-and-control management will no longer be effective. What’s needed instead is a flatter, less hierarchical structure where employees feel like stakeholders instead of interchangeable labor inputs that are on the cusp of being replaced by a chatbot. Technology has a key role to play, but this is more about taking a human-centric view of your workforce, and making flexibility central to organizational structure. This session will look beyond the technology being used to drive personal productivity, and focus more on the bigger picture for how organizations are adapting.

There's a hope that, via artificial intelligence and the elimination of human error, processes and activities will become more efficient, beneficial, and advantageous for humanity. But is this the case?  Will the tide of AI raise all boats? How does human bias influence the systems and structures of AI models, such as large language models, ethics, selective data, and models emerging from non-diverse institutions?  This session will present an engaging, interactive discussion about bias in the world of generative AI from a few perspectives, including:
  • The back end (coders, developers, owners, technologists, industry perspectives),
  • How technology generates vastly disparate consequences for different communities, and
  • Models of best practices.
How do different communities feel about facial recognition, surveillance, and predictive modeling?  What historical events or circumstances that should cause people to be cautious or concerned?  Where does rational concern turn into paranoia and conspiracy theory?  What does the future look like for AI?

In a world where AI is not just an option but a necessity, Eric Vaughan, CEO of IgniteTech and GFI Software, stands at the vanguard of a corporate revolution. His presentation, "AI or Bust: The Non-Negotiable Revolution," is not just a talk—it's a call to arms for every business leader and team member who wants to remain relevant in the fast-approaching future.

I need to bring you along with me. I know this to my core. This is important. This is nothing like any other technology trend we've seen that's mattered in years." Attendees will leave with more than just insights—they'll leave with a blueprint for action.
