Can You Really Build That With Breeze?
For me, business travel has always been a mixed bag. I don’t like making reservations, packing, airports, airplanes, rental cars, and unfamiliar freeways, but I do enjoy meeting new people and being exposed to new and different ideas. I also love sharing what I know (or pretend to know) with a willing audience. COVID-19 put […]
Another Demonstration of my IoT Workflow Software
Here is my friend, Thomas Roemer of Avaya, with another demonstration of IoT in action. In this video, he is running my IoT workflow tasks (plus several others I created) from the Avaya CPaaS cloud platform (formerly known as Zang). Cool stuff!
Digital Transformation — Avaya Breeze and Beyond
“The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.” – Arthur C. Clarke In technology, some ideas take a long time to catch on. Consider Microsoft’s journey to Skype for Business. For better or worse, I was there from the beginning — from Microsoft’s first foray into telephony […]
Dragging and Dropping Your Way to IoT Greatness
Do you have a great idea for an IoT application, but don’t know the first thing about programming and have no interest in learning a programming language? The Avaya Breeze and Zang drag-and-drop workflow designer tools allow you to visualize your idea and with a few mouse clicks, go from concept to a powerful, enterprise-grade […]
Optimism Returns to Avaya Engage
While at Avaya Engage last month, I met with Blair Pleasant of Business Communications Strategies to discuss the work I am doing with IoT, ServiceNow, Watson, Avaya Breeze, and Zang. I really dislike seeing myself on video, but other than a few awkward smiles and some fumbled words, I did okay in our interview. You […]
Using IoT to Make a Smart City Smart
I was at the Avaya Engage conference last week. It was a very exciting event and between presenting five breakout sessions, working the Arrow SI booth, schmoozing with customers, and networking with my fellow communications nerds, I hardly had a moment to relax. During one of the demonstrations of the IoT software I’ve been developing, […]
Arrow Connect, IoT, and Communications Workflows
My fellow blogger, Dave Michels of Talking Pointz, did a nice write-up in Network World about the work I have been doing with IoT and communications workflows. Please take a look! Arrow Electronics Gives IoT a Voice, Connects Devices to Communications Tools
Unleashing the Power of IoT
It’s amazing how quickly a new technology becomes part of our daily lives. This has certainly been the case with the Internet of Things (IoT). Ten years ago, who would have dreamed of connecting garage doors, lightbulbs, and clothes dryers to the Internet? Of course, that’s exactly what we are doing today. Ordinary devices are […]
See Me Speak at Enterprise Connect 2017
Are you going to Enterprise Connect this year? I am and hope that you add one or more of my breakout sessions to your dance card. As you can see, I will be quite busy bouncing between a two part deep dive into SIP, a panel discussion on SBCs, and my favorite topic, the Internet […]
Giving voice to IoT
There have been moments in our communications industry when everything suddenly changes. You can argue that it all began with Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone in 1876. Although the road to that first voice call (“Mr. Watson, come here. I want you.”) took many years and involved several prior attempts, within a year […]
