rAVe Unified Communications Edition

Happy Thursday, everyone! I can’t believe we’re already halfway through July. Let me introduce myself. I’m Cory Knapp, content specialist at rAVe [PUBS], and I’m pinch-hitting for Steph this week while she’s on vacation. We have several home-run articles to share with you in this edition. 


Check out David Danto’s column, “When Collaboration’s Window Seat Has No Windows,” where he explores whether tech vendors should be held accountable for the outcomes they promise. He ties it to a high-profile class-action lawsuit against a major airline accused of selling window seats without the window. 


You also won’t want to miss Hope Roth’s column on the pitfalls of using AI to write social media posts and why faster isn’t always better, as well as product news from Sony, BenQ, Jabra and more.


Enjoy!
