If you weren’t able to attend Channel Partners Evolution last week in Austin, fear not: here are our top takeways from the event.

IP telephony and its related technologies have matured over the past decade. As competition grows among IP telephony vendors, product designers are packing more options, functionality, and bells and whistles into their products. This sometimes results in making IP telephones and their accessories more complicated to operate. 

Yealink seems to have cut through the hype of multi-functional devices by designing and offering a simple, intuitive and easy-to-use device that performs specific and specialized functions, and performs them flawlessly. This is definitely the case with Yealink’s new CP920 touch-sensitive HD IP Conference Phone.

How often have you led or participated in a conference call where a technician had to come in to set up the call or troubleshoot? Because many conferencing systems are not intuitive enough to be operated without some training and practice, they often go underutilized and the company doesn’t fully reap the productivity and cost-saving benefits that the systems are meant to provide.

Konftel has made this problem a thing of the past with its sophisticated yet easy-to-use conferencing solutions. Here we present a customer success story that demonstrates how Olsson Associates has been using its Konftel platform to improve and simplify the communications among almost 1,000 employees across some 30 offices in seven U.S. states.

If it has happened to you, then you know what it feels like. You’ve put in an online order for an item, but it doesn’t arrive on the scheduled date. You look up the tracking number and you are informed that the package has been successfully delivered. The porch pirates have been at it again.

More purchases are now done online than in brick and mortar stores, and more than a billion packages were delivered to Americans over the past Christmas season alone. With the rise in packages being left on people’s doorsteps has come a rise in package theft. The thieves are known as porch pirates and they work either by following delivery trucks around or hanging out in neighborhoods waiting for the packages to arrive.

Home security and surveillance systems can help convict such thieves, and even deter instances of theft from occurring in the first place.
