2 min read

Trevor Kerr | July 10, 2024


Greetings readers! For those in the Northern Hemisphere, June marked the official start of summer and a prime opportunity for many of us to unplug and relax. Whether that involves a trip to the beach, a hike in the mountains, or just a ride around the neighborhood, we hope your summer plans involve good company, good weather, and perhaps a well-timed visit to your favorite ice cream stop (mint chip, please)!


Beyond dreams of the perfect summer break, June brought a wide range of news and views from Mitel. We announced that our Virtual Care Collaboration Service (VCCS) will be available in more markets, wrapped up our 2024 Mitel Next events with stops in Spain and Germany, and highlighted partners investing in industry-specific expertise. As more people head back to the office, at least part of the time, we look at how modern UC solutions can make hybrid work successful. We also highlight a discussion our new CISO joined on risky cybersecurity habits that aren’t as innocent as they may seem.


Ok, let’s get to the news!
