The three keys to Marketing: Sharing, Collaborating and Communicating

As you may already know in recent years’ companies, have begun to undergo radical changes in their organizational structures. Technology is making it possible for companies to break away from their normal vertical department or functional work silos and become more horizontal and cross-functional. These increases are leveling the old pyramid structures we were accustomed to, and it’s about time.

We have all seen or participated in a company or organization that is fragmented and disconnected, where employees from various departments are working on the same project with different objectives, goals, requirements, or the skill sets of one individual are within another group but are not accessible to all.

Today, it is our pleasure to publish an article written by Bruno Donetti, Infrastructure Team Axitea S.p.A.

Thank you to Bruno and our compliments for his great passion which, with much difficulty, remains hidden between the lines. Here is the text.

A while back I was asked for an objective opinion in comparing the Wildix system with that of 3CX. I was asked for a neutral technical opinion, no longer as a vendor-dependent technician, but as a manager and technician of my own telecommunications network made up of several Wildix, many 3CX, Cisco, Alcatel OXE, Asterisk. 

To comprehend the evaluation I feel it is essential to illustrate the skills and non-skills of those who venture into giving judgement among various products.

Wildix History /1: Where the Story Begins

Where does the story begin?

guinness_glass_1 Not everyone knows that the famous Guinness beer was tapped for the first time in 1759 in Celbridge, 23 kilometers from Dublin.
