We are all aware of the insatiable appetite for bandwidth. And, while there is obvious interest in upgrading "last miles" everywhere- ultimately on the fixed side of things to fiber- realities are the "need for speed" permeates every network route regardless of distance. Hence, the need to extract as much capacity from fixed outside plant to meet expected future needs is the continuing quest of R&D labs around the world. After all nobody wants to forklift buried or even aerial outside plant, regardless of the length of the glass route being traveled. Box, one of the pioneers of the cloud-based services movement, is drinking the Kool-Aid, implementing more cloud-based solutions within its own enterprise. Specifically, the company has tapped RingCentral to provide it with cloud-based business communications capabilities. The enterprise was once scared of the concept of cloud computing. The thought of moving proprietary data outside of the firewall and giving another company control is a scary concept.

Much lip service has been given to the idea of business transformation, with new devices, applications and services creating previously unheard of possibilities for enriching business processes through integration with any number of other complementary services. It's not a new concept - such integration has been going on for decades. "The next level of innovation in the digital economy is driven by the ability to embed communications right into cloud-based applications," Davide said.
