More about this session: As companies move toward cloud-based solutions, changes are taking place in the roles and responsibilities for IT and UC engineers. As focus shifts from hardware to soft skills, and managing end-to-end capabilities, new skill sets will be required. This session will help you prepare for those changes and be ready to position yourself as a trusted resource in a cloud-based world. Attendees will leave with ideas for improving their marketability along with recommendations and resources for building their technical skillset. Topics will include: - Why you should be concerned about the future role of an IT/UC Engineer- What companies will come to expect from IT/UC Engineers - How automation will play an important role - How to be versatile - What to add to your technical 'tool kit' - Why vendor relationships will be more important than ever. Avaya Featured Session: "Building Experiences with Avaya OneCloud Experience Platform" - Steve Brock, Avaya This presentation will describe the value and differentiation of the Avaya OneCloud Experience Platform. Customers are more empowered, and demanding, than ever before. In response organizations are making adjustments to how they sell, how they service, and how they work. This presentation will demonstrate the value of creating a Total Experience strategy, why an Experience Platform is more than just a simple rebrand of CCaaS, and the value of a converged platform.
