Video meetings and digital collaboration are now standard, but in many organizations telephony remains stuck in outdated and fragmented systems. In a recent ValiantCEO interview,<strong> Steve Flavell, <\/strong>co-CEO of LoopUp, explains how the company has transformed its business model to help multinationals move voice into the cloud and unify it with Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve notes that the pandemic made it clear that traditional conferencing could not keep pace with new ways of working. LoopUp made a bold pivot from legacy conference calling to global cloud telephony. Today, LoopUp enables enterprises to eliminate the complexity of managing dozens of local carrier contracts by providing a single integrated solution across more than 100 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the key points from Steve\u2019s interview include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remote work as a catalyst<\/strong><br>The rise of Teams and digital collaboration created the need for a complete reset in how enterprises think about voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consolidation brings control<\/strong><br>Enterprises gain speed, consistency, and simplicity when telephony is managed globally through one provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Voice as part of digital transformation<\/strong><br>Telephony should not be treated separately.
