CVx Show Daily Day 2

WWW. CVXEXPO.TMCNET .COM 1 7 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 2 Quobis Showcases UC for the Front Line Intrado Adds to Executive Team Q uobis, a European provider of real-time communication apps for the web, is utilizing ITEXPO to highlight its new collaboration solution for deskless workers, such as those on a retail sales floor. “For us, [ITEXPO] is a great opportunity to explain how Quobis is changing the communications for the retail industry, dealing with the last frontier of the digital transformation challenge: deskless workers,” said Elías Pérez, Quobis CEO. At its booth on the expo floor (#216) Quobis will showcase a demo of Collaborator re-designed for retail workers. Quobis’ Collaborator lets first-line workers be permanently connected with their in-shop peers (in the same shop or in other places) or with other functional areas such as logistics, human resources or customer care. The platform allows network managers to easily on-board new or eventual workers without effort, said Pérez, even within BYOD strategies. Collaborator provides powerful administration tools to manage user’s roles; create groups; and assign features as inbound/outbound PSTN calls, chat or voice IP communications. Monitoring activity can be done on any element in the network. In addition, Iago Soto, chief marketing officer of Quobis, will be speaking today at 10 a.m. at the session “New Communications Tools to Impress Your Customers” in the Expo Floor Theatre. p I ntrado Corporation recently added Jeff Robertson to its executive management team as president of the company’s Life & Safety segment. An expert in the safety industry, Robertson comes to Intrado from RapidSOS, where he served as senior vice president and general manager of public safety and was responsible for leading public safety strategies. Prior to joining RapidSOS, he was the CEO of Airbus DS Communications, a provider of command center software for emer- gency call-handling. Robertson also has held leadership roles for 911 solu- tions and software consulting firms and was the founder of the 9-1-1 Industry Alliance (now the Industry Council for Emergency Response Technologies). “We are excited to welcome Jeff to the Intrado leadership team. His nearly 25-year career has been centered around public safety, and he provides a unique perspective on the business as a former first responder,” said John Shlonsky, Intrado CEO and presi- dent. “Jeff joins Intrado during a time of significant opportunity, given the expected growth from next generation 911 technology and Intrado’s expan- sion into new adjacencies, including integrated solutions within smart home technologies and notification capabili- ties that leverage our access to the PSAP infrastructure.” Ron Beaumont, current president of the company’s Life & Safety segment, announced his intention to retire next year. Due to the complexity and critical nature of the services that Life & Safety provides, Beaumont and Robertson will have an extended transition period, and Beaumont will continue as an advisor to Intrado for the foreseeable future. p
