PB Connect: The Future of AI and Business Communications
Are you ready to understand where voice and telephony are heading — and how AI is reshaping the way organisations communicate?
Business communications are changing faster than ever. The phone systems of yesterday were static and hardware-driven. Today, we’re in the middle of a shift to cloud, hybrid platforms, and AI-enhanced interactions. And now, a new force is arriving: Agentic AI.
Unlike traditional AI, which waits for commands, or generative AI, which produces outputs when prompted, Agentic AI takes initiative. It listens in real time, identifies commitments, generates follow-up tasks automatically, and highlights potential issues before they escalate. Instead of being a passive tool, your telephony system becomes a proactive partner in running the business.
Special Cameo: AI in Practice
We’re also joined by Ben Lewell, Microsoft AI Consultant, with over 13 years of experience in digital transformation across Energy, LegalTech, HealthTech, AI, and SaaS delivering global programmes of work in Microsoft and AI technologies. Ben will share his perspective on:
-
How AI is evolving across industries beyond telephony
-
What “good AI design” looks like in practice
-
How organisations can start building their own AI roadmap today
At this PB Connect session, you’ll gain a clear understanding of:
-
What Agentic AI really means — and how it differs from the AI you know today.
-
The evolution of business telephony — from on-premise hardware to flexible cloud-first platforms.
-
How communications technology is converging with analytics to drive smarter, faster decision-making.
-
What to look for when planning upgrades or changes in your organisation over the next few years.
This is not a product demo — it’s a chance to step back and learn about the industry shifts that are coming, so you and your organisation can make informed decisions with confidence.
