An Introduction to the Avaya Context Store Snap-in
Last week, I introduced you to Avaya’s contribution to the world of WebRTC – the WebRTC client API and Snap-in.

The Avaya WebRTC Snap-in Revisited
Last week, I wrote about the Avaya WebRTC Snap-in. Despite it’s fairly technical lean, it proved to be a very popular article for me. However, I realized that there are a number of people who could benefit from the subject without being subjected to JavaScript code and a tour of the solution’s piece parts. Enter […]

In my latest article for No Jitter, I explore the art of choosing the right communications consultant. Believe me, I have worked with some really bad ones over the years and they make my otherwise “involved” job that much more difficult.

The Reinvention of the Telecom Professional
