Simplifying Cloud Communications for Efficiency and Scalable Growth
July 17, 2025 | 3 to 4:30 PM ET
Join top technology leaders from across the country for an exclusive virtual roundtable designed for Chief Information Officers. This interactive event will explore emerging trends, strategic priorities, and innovative solutions shaping the future of IT leadership. Connect with peers, share insights, and gain actionable ideas to drive digital transformation in your organization.
As organizations scale—adding branch offices, remote teams, cloud environments, and third-party services—IT complexity grows exponentially. What starts as a flexible tech stack often becomes a tangled web of legacy systems, siloed IT teams, multiple vendors, and fragmented billing.
In this executive roundtable, we’ll explore how leading IT teams are simplifying infrastructure while maintaining agility and control. We’ll discuss:
- Strategies to consolidate voice, data, and security systems across diverse geographies
- How to manage IT sprawl and legacy tech without disrupting operations
- Tactics for rationalizing vendors and contracts to reduce operational friction and costs
- What to consider when selecting regional and national connectivity providers
- Best practices for licensing optimization and simplified infrastructure management
This session is designed for senior IT leaders looking to bring order and efficiency to growing, complex environments, without compromising on performance or security.
