Connectivity is often treated as a commodity. But when it fails, businesses can lose access to the cloud applications, communications tools and services they rely on every day.

In this UC Today interview, Christopher Carey speaks with Tom Chedham, Head of Connectivity and Wholesale at Gamma, about why partners need to rethink the role of connectivity.

They discuss how connectivity underpins business continuity, why partners are seeking simpler access to multiple networks, and how Gamma is responding to feedback through its evolving connectivity roadmap.

Tom also explains how FibreXchange helps partners check availability, compare options and manage connectivity through a single portal – supporting a more consultative, customer-outcome-led approach to fibre.

In this UC Today interview, Marcus Law speaks with Gauthier Renard, Group Product Manager for Barco ClickShare, and Neil Fluester, Senior Product Marketing at Logitech for Business, about the certified Barco and Logitech Microsoft Teams Rooms bundle.
They discuss what hybrid-ready rooms need to deliver in 2026, why user experience should drive room design, how Microsoft certification supports reliability and security, and why IT leaders need more than a collection of separate devices. The conversation also explores the role of AI-ready audio and video, room analytics, flexible bring your own device workflows, and the operational value of standardizing meeting room estates.

A new global survey of 2,000 IT leaders and employees by Mitel and Vanson Bourne reveals a striking disconnect – 93 percent of IT leaders consider communication tools critical to daily operations, yet only 34 percent of workers say those tools are highly effective.
In this video, UC Today's Christopher Carey sits down with Eric Hanson, CMO at Mitel, to unpack the findings of the State of Workforce Communication report – exploring why tool overload is driving shadow IT and shadow AI, why voice remains the most trusted channel in critical moments, and what organisations need to do to close the experience gap.

In this episode of UC Today, host Kristian McCann sits down with Sam Wright, Head of Career Strategy at Huntr, to separate fact from fiction when it comes to AI in hiring, from both sides of the equation. 

Drawing on analysis of 1.7 million job applications, 1 million job postings, and 243,000 résumés, plus hundreds of conversations with job seekers and recruiters, Wright offers a rare data-driven look at how hiring actually works in 2026. 

The discussion explores the growing tension between AI-powered applications and human-led hiring decisions, the increasing volume of applications recruiters face, and the challenges organizations face as they introduce AI into talent acquisition processes.  

Key discussion points: 
🔵 Why most recruiters say AI is not automatically screening out candidates despite widespread fears among job seekers 
🔵 How application volumes, Easy Apply tools, and a tougher job market are making it harder to secure interviews 
🔵 Where AI is actually being used today, from job descriptions and communications to emerging candidate-ranking tools 
🔵 The growing debate around AI bias, transparency, discrimination risks, and the safeguards organizations need to implement
