“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist.

floLIVE and Velocity IoT team up to deliver robust, high-performance global connectivity with a reseller-first approach In a fast-expanding IoT world, two industry veterans are teaming up to bring intelligence, speed, and scalability to global deployments. In a recent Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green spoke with Curtis Govan, President for the Americas at floLIVE, and Anthony Protopsaltis, Principal at Velocity IoT, about their newly formalized partnership and how it delivers value to resellers and end customers alike. “Every company in the world now has some sort of IoT conversation going on.” — Curtis Govan, President for the Americas, floLIVE floLIVE offers a fully owned, multi-carrier, multi-country IoT core network that empowers customers with unmatched global coverage and localized data sovereignty. “We’re not layering on top of legacy mobile networks,” said Govan. “We own the core components, the IP stack, the technology. That allows us to offer not just high availability and coverage, but resilience and hands-on control to our channel partners.” Velocity IoT , a channel-focused company led by Protopsaltis and Bill Molesworth, brings go-to-market strategy, deployment planning, and hardware expertise to the table. “It’s not a simple thing to just release a product and say, ‘Oh, I’m going to have this connected product online,’” said Protopsaltis. “You have to plan it out, understand the caveats, and mitigate the risks. We help partners through that entire process.” Together, floLIVE and Velocity IoT offer what they describe as a “1 + 1 = 3” value equation. floLIVE provides low-latency, resilient infrastructure with full EUICC support and multi-IMSI tech, while Velocity IoT delivers the support, strategy, and white-glove service resellers need to win. “We’re both consultative sellers,” added Govan. “That’s the magic. We’re solving real problems for customers in industrial IoT, healthcare, agriculture, and beyond.” Protopsaltis also highlighted the role of AI in analyzing traffic and optimizing IMSI strategies to ensure low-latency, reliable service. “AI tools help us monitor traffic flow and improve the customer’s implementation. It’s part of our proactive, intelligent approach.” And with data sovereignty becoming a hard requirement in industries like healthcare and government, floLIVE’s localized gateways and ability to keep data in-country—and even in-facility—are a critical differentiator.

Jon Arnold Urges MSPs to Evolve Beyond UCaaS Commoditization and Lead in AI Enablement, Podcast

2 days ago

—

Cloud Connections 2025 Podcast Interview with Jon Arnold, Principal, J. Arnold & Associates ST. PETERSBURG, FL – Jon Arnold, Principal of J. Arnold & Associates , delivered a clear message to managed service providers (MSPs) at Cloud Connections 2025: it’s time to evolve beyond UCaaS commoditization and begin leveraging AI not just as a buzzword, but as a strategic offering. In a podcast conversation with Technology Reseller News , Arnold reflected on insights shared during two panels at the conference—one on market outlook and another focused on UCaaS. “UCaaS, CCaaS, CPaaS—they’re all mature, well-understood offerings,” said Arnold. “But AI is where the next frontier lies. Most customers know they need it, but they don’t know how to use it—and that’s where MSPs have a real opportunity.” Arnold emphasized that MSPs, trusted for their delivery of cloud and voice services, are in a prime position to elevate their value by integrating AI into business operations—both internally and in customer-facing applications. The key, he said, lies in viewing voice as data , a concept that aligns with AI’s data-driven architecture. “If you’re not capturing the data from voice, you’re missing one of the most powerful communication channels businesses rely on,” Arnold explained. “MSPs already understand voice. That’s their credibility. Now it’s about helping customers harness that voice data to power AI.” On the second panel, Arnold addressed a recurring challenge: UCaaS as a commodity. As major players like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and RingCentral dominate the landscape, differentiation has become more difficult. “If all MSPs are selling the same thing, they risk becoming arms dealers—no value, no margin,” he said. Arnold encouraged MSPs to think beyond unified communications and adopt a more holistic, strategic view , where AI is integrated across workflows, departments, and functions—far beyond the contact center. “AI isn’t waiting for you to catch up. It’s creating new ways of working,” he said. “There’s a real risk of being left behind if MSPs don’t evolve. A new generation of AI-centric MSPs will emerge—those who know how to sell it, implement it, and build strategy around it.” Reflecting on his first time attending the CCA’s Cloud Connections event, Arnold noted the strong value of its focused community. “It’s big enough to meet new people, but small enough to build real relationships,” he said. “It’s not a trade show—it’s a learning and collaboration environment.” Learn more about Jon Arnold and J.

Mark Vange and Autumn highlight a new model for AI collaboration at Cloud Connections 2025 “AI needs to be thought of more as a colleague and less as a tool.” — Mark Vange, CEO, Autom8ly At Cloud Connections 2025, Technology Reseller News sat down with Mark Vange, CEO of Autom8ly, and Autumn, the company’s AI-powered assistant, to explore a new approach to lead generation and AI adoption for Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA) members. Autom8ly introduced a novel AI-driven system that helps match prospective clients with the most suitable CCA members. “We built a lead generation system that listens to the visitor’s needs and uses AI to match them with the right member,” explained Autumn. “It’s all about understanding intent and providing the best-fit connection.” To accomplish this, Autom8ly created detailed profiles for each CCA member, pulling data from their websites and inviting them to review and update their information. This interaction not only boosts exposure for CCA members but also acts as an introduction to working with AI tools like Autumn. “Lead gen is a great way to meet everybody,” said Vange. “It gave us a reason to build meaningful profiles, and in the process, start working together. It’s how we demonstrate what AI-centric work will look like in the coming years.” Autumn plays a central role in Autom8ly’s operations—from marketing and CRM to code generation and even accounting. The company’s strategy focuses on partnering with organizations to build tailored AI solutions. “We’re the engine,” said Vange. “You be the train. Let’s put it on the track together.” A veteran technologist and entrepreneur, Vange emphasized a unique philosophy: AI should be introduced gradually, much like a new employee. “We believe in building confidence through iteration,” he said. “You don’t just give AI a task and walk away. You start small, measure success, and grow trust over time.” Autom8ly’s vision extends beyond the CCA. They’re in talks with other associations to bring similar solutions to new industries, offering not a product, but a collaborative approach to AI integration. Learn more : www.autom8ly.com…

Branded identity and app-like messaging experiences take center stage in CTO Mike Tindall’s product preview ST. PETERSBURG, FL – At Cloud Connections 2025, Mike Tindall, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Commio, introduced two forward-looking solutions aimed at transforming how businesses engage customers through voice and messaging. Speaking with Doug Green of Technology Reseller News , Tindall discussed Signature Calling , Commio’s branded calling product developed within the BCID (Branded Caller ID) ecosystem. Designed to address the increasing problem of spoofed phone calls and diminished customer trust, Signature Calling provides end-to-end identity delivery that authenticates the brand, displays company logos, and optionally explains the reason for the call. “Life is complicated. I like things that are easy.” – Mike Tindall, Commio CTO “Phone numbers are ephemeral,” said Tindall. “The real question is: how do you establish identity? That’s what BCID and Signature Calling solve for.” Alongside this, Commio unveiled Instant App , a reimagined version of RCS (Rich Communication Services) designed to turn messages into rich, interactive brand experiences within a user’s native messaging app. “We call it Instant App because it functions like a complete mobile application, right inside the inbox,” explained Tindall. “It allows brands to offer real-time engagement—like coupons, appointment scheduling, or product offers—at the tap of a button.” Both Signature Calling and Instant App are being soft-launched and will be made available to enterprise customers across a wide range of verticals. Tindall noted that channel partners and managed service providers (MSPs) will play a key role in bringing these solutions to market. “These tools are especially powerful for industries like automotive, HVAC, and retail, where customer engagement and trust are key drivers of repeat business,” said Tindall. “We’re excited to empower our partners with this next generation of communications.” To learn more, visit www.commio.com .…

True North Advisory’s De Palma on Building Cloud Culture and Innovating at Scale, Podcast

2 days ago

—

Speaking from the floor of the Cloud Connections 2025 conference, Dino De Palma of True North Advisory emphasized the intersection of culture and innovation in the cloud communications sector during a roundtable he moderated on “Innovating at Scale: Creating Next-Gen Cloud Products.” De Palma, a longtime industry leader and advisor, said the conversation focused on how companies can maintain culture and alignment while developing new technologies in hybrid or remote work environments. “The key theme that emerged was balancing remote collaboration tools—like Zoom, Teams, and Webex—with the need for in-person connection,” said De Palma. “That offline conversation still matters. It can spark deeper, longer discussions that you can’t always fit into a back-to-back Teams schedule.” True North Advisory, a boutique advisory firm, provides strategic consulting for cloud and communications companies, helping clients refine their product positioning, go-to-market strategies, and long-term relationship building. De Palma underscored that the firm emphasizes hands-on engagement and strategic fit between vendor and buyer. De Palma also highlighted a comment from a participant that resonated with the group: “AI should be viewed as an augmentation of the team—not a replacement.” He noted that embracing AI in a way that enhances productivity, rather than replacing jobs, is essential to building trust and buy-in across teams. He added that the conversation touched on the challenge of “over-communication,” where workers today juggle multiple channels—email, Teams, WhatsApp, SMS, and more—making alignment on company vision more difficult. On the topic of emerging technologies and platform evolution, De Palma observed that small businesses now have greater access to tools traditionally reserved for large enterprises. “We’re seeing companies like Clark Chat, Spanoco, and Kiwi delivering mobile-first, easy-to-use solutions that empower micro and small businesses,” he said. “At the end of the day, ease of use is the differentiator.” De Palma is also scheduled to moderate a panel on cloud communications mergers, focusing on the Alianza-Metaswitch and XTM-Evolve IP deals. The session will explore cultural integration, operational challenges, and whether these transactions signal a broader shift in the sector. “There’s a lot of M&A activity in the air,” said De Palma. “The question now is: what’s next?” For more information on True North Advisory, visit truenorthadvisory.com .…

ICA Targets Robocalls and Communication Fragmentation with AI-Powered Assistant, Podcast

3 days ago

—

ST. PETERSBURG, FL – ICA (Intelligent Communication Assistant), a communications security and AI assistant platform, took center stage at the Cloud Communications Alliance’s Cloud Connections 2025 event with a solution aimed at eliminating robocalls, scams, and fragmented branded calling experiences. Michael Gough, founder of ICA, presented during the event’s inaugural product showcase and outlined how the platform leverages artificial intelligence to identify unwanted or fraudulent communications in real time. “There are more than 40 billion robocalls, 20 billion scam texts and a trillion phishing attempts annually,” said Gough. “We’re at an inflection point. ICA brings together voice, text, email and branded calling into one AI-powered framework.” Gough explained that ICA works similarly to navigation apps like Waze, learning from user behavior across a distributed network. When a robocaller or scammer contacts one ICA user, the behavior is analyzed and logged so that future calls from the same entity can be blocked systemwide. Unlike existing solutions such as STIR/SHAKEN, which Gough noted cannot cover all traffic types or legacy systems like TDM, ICA uses behavioral fingerprinting and network metadata to make real-time determinations about the legitimacy of a call or message. For calls from known and trusted sources such as a school or hospital, ICA allows communication to pass through without interruption. Beyond fraud detection, ICA also serves as a digital assistant, with features such as calendar-aware call handling, automated appointment scheduling, and adaptive call routing based on user preferences. Gough said ICA is currently available via licensing partnerships and is seeking additional partners, such as service providers, CPaaS platforms, and branded calling vendors. “We’re here to complement and enhance the systems they already have in place,” he said. The company’s website, myica.ai , provides more details about its offerings and partner opportunities.…

Tech pioneer previews the world’s first VCon-focused conference and the protocols reshaping AI, business conversations, and communications strategy ST. PETERSBURG, FL – At Cloud Connections 2025, Jeff Pulver, internet telephony pioneer and CEO of the newly launched vCon Foundation, joined Technology Reseller News to preview the first-ever VCon Conference , taking place April 22–24 in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Pulver described vCon—short for “virtualized conversation”—as a new file format standard, backed by the IETF, that captures and structures conversations across voice, chat, email, and messaging platforms. More than just a storage format, vCon is the key, he says, to unlocking insights, building memory into AI systems, and enabling truly intelligent, context-aware communications. “For anyone trying to manage unstructured data, better understand support calls, or just improve customer engagement—this is it,” Pulver said. “If you’re asking yourself what you can actually do with AI in your business, the answer is two words: virtualized conversations.” The upcoming VCon event will focus on three core themes: Theory and Protocols – Understanding VCon and SCITT (Supply Chain Integrity, Transparency, and Trust) Industry Activation – Product and service announcements from companies integrating the standard Interop Testing – The first public interoperability event for VCon-compatible platforms Pulver, who famously launched Free World Dialup and co-founded Vonage, emphasized the disruptive potential of this new standard: “We’ve never had a universal file format for conversations before. With VCon, any AI tool, from any vendor, can now understand and analyze that data.” He also announced a related initiative called TAFI (Trust Agent Framework for AI), which incorporates VCon for memory and SCITT for trust—a new model for AI transparency and reliability. Pulver, who now refers to himself as Chief Evangelist Officer of the vCon Foundation, promised attendees real value: “If you show up and don’t learn something new, I’ll refund your registration. That’s how confident I am.” With rapid enterprise AI adoption underway, Pulver sees VCon as the missing link. “Conversations matter. Memory matters. And VCon brings them together.” Learn more and register : www.vonevolution.com/spring25-vcon…

St. Petersburg, FL – Phone.com, a leading provider of cloud-based communications solutions for small businesses, has announced the launch of ProSIM , a new service that enables users to make and receive calls and text messages from their business number using the native dialer of their mobile device. The announcement was made during a podcast interview at Cloud Connections 2025 , held in St. Petersburg. Developed in partnership with Tango Networks , ProSIM delivers a fully integrated business line over an eSIM—eliminating the need for a separate app. According to Ari Rabban , CEO of Phone.com, the new offering “revolutionizes mobile communications by bringing UCaaS capabilities to the native smartphone interface, offering simplicity, compliance, and reliability for workers on the move.” Brian Cassano , Vice President of Channel Success (Americas) at Tango Networks, highlighted the opportunity for small business customers. “ProSIM lets businesses extend their UCaaS platform natively to mobile devices. It works seamlessly with features like Apple CarPlay, voice commands, contact integration, and text messaging, while delivering enterprise-grade compliance including HIPAA and SOC 2.” ProSIM is immediately available to existing and new Phone.com customers. For current users, the feature can be activated from the customer dashboard by scanning a QR code to install the ProSIM eSIM. Once installed, users can maintain two lines on a single device—one personal and one business—without switching apps. The companies noted that the product is especially valuable for “workers on the move,” including contractors, healthcare professionals, and frontline staff. By using the cellular network instead of relying on Wi-Fi or data for VoIP applications, ProSIM ensures consistent, high-quality communication without the common drawbacks of app-based calling. “This isn’t just a technical advancement—it’s a workforce solution,” said Rabban. “Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or part of a mobile team, ProSIM makes it easy to separate business and personal communications while delivering the reliability small businesses need.” Phone.com is actively seeking new channel partners who want to bring ProSIM to small business customers.

XTIUM Debuts as Full-Spectrum MSP Brand Following Merger with ATSG, Podcast

Cloud Connections 2025 Podcast Interview with Peter Eisengrein, SVP of Service, Delivery & Operations at XTIUM ST. PETERSBURG, FL – A new managed services powerhouse has emerged. Speaking with Technology Reseller News at Cloud Connections 2025, Peter Eisengrein , Senior Vice President of Service, Delivery & Operations, introduced XTIUM —a new brand created from the merger of Evolve IP’s MSP business with ATSG. “XTIUM is a fresh brand built from two strong companies,” said Eisengrein. “We’ve taken everything Evolve IP was known for—managed cloud, UCaaS, CCaaS, DaaS—and added a full suite of managed network , managed security , and managed operations services.” The merger, announced just weeks earlier at Channel Partners, significantly expands the portfolio available to XTIUM’s channel partners. Of particular interest to the channel: Managed Detection and Response (MDR) security services, enterprise help desk outsourcing , and the ability to deliver turnkey network management alongside voice and compute. “We’re hearing a lot of excitement around security and network services,” said Eisengrein. “It’s what customers are asking for—and what the channel didn’t always associate with us before.” At the conference, Eisengrein also joined two merger-focused sessions to share lessons from XTIUM’s own experience. His message? M&A success takes time, careful planning, and clean financials. “You can’t rush it. Lenders move at their own pace, and you need to be prepared—especially when it comes to audited books and integration plans.” For partners, the opportunity lies in XTIUM’s ability to meet customers where they are. “Most buyers are only in market for one service at a time,” said Eisengrein. “The key for channel partners is being able to pivot. If it’s not UC today, maybe it’s security, or help desk, or compute. Now, we can support all of it.” XTIUM positions itself as a white-glove , customer-centric provider that integrates with, rather than displaces, enterprise IT. “We don’t just offer services,” said Eisengrein. “We solve problems. That’s our mission.” Learn more at: www.xtium.com…

Cloud Connections 2025 Podcast with David Duffett “It’s not just a potato—it’s a globally distributed core of telephony goodness,” says David Duffett, Simwood. As the Cloud Connections 2025 event wrapped up in sunny St. Petersburg, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green sat down with David Duffett, corporate ambassador for Simwood, in a conversation that was equal parts innovation and, yes, potato. Simwood’s unique term “the potato,” coined by CEO Simon Woodhead, refers to the homogenous, globally distributed core of Simwood’s network. “It looks a bit like a potato,” said Duffett, “but it’s packed with telephony goodness—at the edge, everywhere.” At the Cloud Communications Alliance’s inaugural Solution Showcase, Duffett demonstrated Conversational AI powered by Simwood, launching a live voice assistant named Karina on stage. Within minutes, the team built an intelligent assistant that fielded live calls, answered questions about CCA membership, and even joked about starting a Joe Marion fan club. “She asked if we wanted badges,” Duffett laughed. Simwood’s AI implementation stands out for its ease of deployment and carrier-agnostic integration. Through Bring Your Own Carrier, even customers on other platforms can transit through Simwood’s network to access conversational AI. But the real future, Duffett revealed, lies in Contextual AI—where AI assistants can seamlessly pass contextual information from one touchpoint to another. “We’re eliminating the need for callers to repeat themselves,” he said. “Your credit card info doesn’t need to be entered twice.” Simwood continues to support both enterprise customers and channel partners, including MSPs and hosted PBX providers, offering everything from AI tools to Teams integration—all through the potato.

Oculum Pushes White-Label Video as Revenue Engine for Service Providers, Podcast

6 days ago

Cloud Connections 2025 Podcast Interview with Bill Bingham ST. PETERSBURG, FL - At this year’s Cloud Connections conference, Oculum delivered a simple but urgent message to service providers: Stop giving away your brand—and your customers. In a podcast interview with Technology Reseller News, Bill Bingham, Senior Vice President of Service, Delivery, and Operations at Oculum, made the case for why resellers and carriers should adopt white-label video conferencing to reclaim margin and reduce churn. “Oculum is a wholesale-only, white-label video conferencing solution built specifically for service providers,” said Bingham. “We’re the VC part of UCaaS, and we offer something many don’t realize they can have—control.” Unlike bundled video options from larger UCaaS platforms, Oculum’s offering is on-network—it runs on the provider’s own infrastructure, whether on-prem or in the cloud. That means providers keep their branding, their customers, and most critically, their margin. Bingham pointed to examples of providers locked into offerings from major switch manufacturers, often deploying Teams integration as a loss leader just to drive monthly recurring revenue. “You’re giving your brand to Microsoft, and your customers to your competition,” said Bingham. “That might bring in revenue, but you’re not making margin—and you’re not protecting your customer base.” The opportunity is especially significant as more service providers find themselves searching for UCaaS alternatives in the wake of product and ownership shifts among major platforms. “Even providers at scale often don’t realize they can round out their UCaaS stack with best-in-class, standalone components,” said Bingham. “Video is a key differentiator—and it can increase ARPU by 30% or more.” Oculum offers a fully branded, turnkey video conferencing solution with deep post-sale support, including dedicated project managers for technical, marketing, and business development assistance. “This isn’t a vendor relationship,” said Bingham. “It’s a partnership. That’s why we’re here in person. You can’t build that by email.” Learn more at: www.oculumvc.com…

TekVizion is helping enterprises move from legacy PBX systems to cloud communications platforms with speed, accuracy, and customer-centric focus. Speaking at the Cloud Connections 2025 event hosted by the Cloud Communications Alliance, TekVizion CEO Chakra Develler and Craig Decker emphasized the company’s role in transforming complex cloud migrations into seamless, automated processes. “There’s a lot of transformation happening in enterprise communications,” said Develler. “As companies shift to the cloud and embrace AI-enhanced CX, the challenge becomes maintaining quality and consistency across increasingly complex systems. That’s where we come in.” TekVizion, long known for its vendor-agnostic testing and automation tools, is now focused on accelerating enterprise adoption of next-gen communications by reducing the cost, risk, and time associated with migrating to modern platforms like Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Zoom. Craig Decker noted that many traditional PBX vendors are faltering or have entered Chapter 11, leaving customers looking for cloud alternatives. “There’s an urgency now,” said Decker. “Customers want to go from engagement to deployment in under 10 minutes. We’re automating migrations to make that possible.” The two executives described a global trend, particularly in Europe, where service providers are racing to modernize their offerings and upgrade customer communications infrastructure. “We’re hearing from carriers and resellers who are trying to solve for both CX and AI simultaneously, and they don’t want to rip and replace blindly,” said Develler. “Our platform lets them migrate intelligently.” TekVizion’s automation approach helps enterprises manage both the technology transition and user experience, cutting down project timelines while ensuring performance and compliance. As businesses increasingly demand cloud-native deployments and AI-ready infrastructure, TekVizion positions itself as a trusted guide for every step of that journey. Learn more at tekvizion.com.…

Scoping the Scene: Why Site Surveys Matter in POTS Replacement, TELCLOUD POTS & Shots Podcast, Jacoby explains, that buildings lose electricity, emergency systems like elevators and fire alarms still rely on that dial tone to operate POTS & Shots Podcast Series “If you skip the site survey, you might be skipping success,” says Jake Jacoby, TELCLOUD. In the latest episode of POTS and Shots, Doug Green, publisher of Technology Reseller News, reconnects with Jake Jacoby of TELCLOUD to tackle one of the most overlooked—but critical—steps in POTS replacement: the site survey. “POTS lines traditionally delivered power,” Jacoby explains, noting that when buildings lose electricity, emergency systems like elevators and fire alarms still rely on that dial tone to operate. With modern replacements depending on cellular backhaul and battery backups, understanding a site's power setup and signal availability is essential before installation begins. Jacoby walks us through the must-check boxes:✔ Where is the DMARC?✔ Is there enough space and a backboard for mounting?✔ Is power always available—and not tied to something as simple as a light switch?✔ Is there cellular signal in that basement telco closet? These aren’t small details. “This isn’t a home phone. These are life safety lines,” Jacoby stresses. TELCLOUD ensures reliable implementation by offering trained reseller programs and certified third-party installers. As always, after the tech talk, the POTS and Shots series adds flavor with a tequila—or in this case—mezcal spotlight. Jacoby introduces Cuatrocientos Conejos, a smoky spirit rooted in Aztec mythology. “Every tequila is a mezcal, but not every mezcal is a tequila,” he says, explaining the nuanced difference based on agave type and production method. Stay tuned: the next episode will dive into future-proofing telecom and ensuring long-term sustainability of POTS line replacements. Learn more: www.telcloud.com…
