Good afternoon, UCC #AVtweeps! I hope you’re all doing well! This time, I’ve got some great columns for you, acquisition news and some great new products on the market.

First of all, isn’t it crazy to think about how two years ago, some of us were in Amsterdam for ISE? I distinctly remember a bunch of us rAVers piling onto a bed, eating snacks and watching the movie “Valentine’s Day” on the TV in my hotel room because it was on one of the only channels that offered movies in English. What a time that was. How many of you are hoping to be in Barcelona this May? Be sure to give me a shout if so!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy Kayye’s Krystal Ball, written by Gary Kayye himself. He makes some predictions about the next year, many of them, understandably so, about UCC. Over the past two years, UCC has been one of the greatest forces pushing our industry forward. How will it fare over the next year? I suppose you’ll have to read to find out.

By the way, I hope you’ll join us for LAVNCH WEEK 5 — March 1-3. As you may know, we will have a whole day dedicated to UCC. I can’t wait to show y’all some new products, participate in conversations with industry leaders and maybe chat about some of the predictions in Kayye’s Krystal Ball. You can register here! See you there!

COLUMNS

 

+ Kayye’s Krystal Ball: 2022 Edition [Gary Kayye]

Welcome to my 22nd annual Kayye’s Krystal Ball! I can’t believe I have written this article 22 times. I am beyond humbled by how many of you read this; last year, it was viewed by over 90,000 #AVtweeps. #LOVE

+ Meetings Are Up but Collaboration Is Down [Mark Coxon]

As technology people, this may seem counterintuitive. If people are in more meetings and using platforms like Zoom and Teams coupled with cameras, microphones, displays and screen sharing appliances, how can collaboration be down? The answer is that we use the word “collaboration” incorrectly as an industry. Meeting online is not collaboration any more than sharing your screen is collaboration, and we need to recognize this if we have any hope of helping our customers solve their hybrid work and collaboration issues.
