With an extensive personal background in the unified communications space, moving 848 in this direction just makes sense. As communications, connectivity and IT become more converged, I want to take those benefits to our customers as a catalyst to improve operations, efficiency, and user experience. I look forward to the opportunities the BT Wholesale partnership creates.”
