At the recently concluded Public Sector Chief Information Officer Convention and Exhibition (CIO Convex) 2016 in Malaysia, Mr. Mohit Sagar, Editor-in-chief at OpenGov moderated a debate on the contentious issue of BYOD (Bring your own device). The strong arguments on both sides presented serious food for thought.
The proposition: 'Malaysia should have a favourable policy on BYOD'
Mr. Gerrit Bahlman, Director of Information Technology, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong and Mr. Thillai Raj T. Ramanathan, Chief Technology Officer, MIMOS Berhad, Malaysia were speaking for the motion.
Arguing against the motion were Mr. Glenn Ashe, Former GCIO Attorney General Department, Australia and Mr. Ganesh Kanagarajah, Head, Strategic Products and Services Governance, Group IT PETRONAS Risk Management Division
Opening statements
For the motion- Mr. Ramanathan

Mr. Ramanathan took the floor to make the case in favour of the motion. He listed several points, based on his experiences, supporting the idea of a favourable BYOD policy:
- It helps to attract and retain talented millennials who are comfortable working on their own devices, anytime, anywhere.
- Employees take better care of their own devices, installing and updating security software. Physical theft/loss has also been seen to go down with BYOD.
- BYOD saves costs for the organisation.
- Employees use a wide variety of applications, which might bring better platforms for collaboration and innovation to the notice of senior management.
Against the motion- Mr. Kangarajah

Mr Kangarajah presented several arguments against adopting BYOD:
- Will the organisation bear liability risk for unlicensed products? If consumer grade products are used for enterprise work, it might violate licensing agreements. There’s a high probability of that happening if consumers are permitted to use their own devices.
- BYOD presents huge potential for distraction at work. What if staff spend increasing amounts of time on social media?
- The IT department would have to support a wide range of devices with different standards, operating systems and applications, increasing overheads and complicating support.
- BYOD could hamper work-life balance.
For the motion- Mr. Bahlman
Productivity perspective: Mr. Bahlman stated that for the millennial generation there’s no separation between work and life. BYOD would enhance productivity for them, allowing them to manage their personal affairs, while working.
Security perspective: Employees might use their own device irrespective of guidelines. It might be better to allow it, regulate it and provide a work environment on the device to ensure security.
Against the motion- Mr. Ashe
Mr. Ashe questioned the proposition itself, asking who or what is the BYOD policy favourable for? Is it favourable to the Malaysian government, the employees working for the Malaysian government?
He admitted that BYOD has a role to play in today’s workplace. But serious thought is required before going full steam ahead with it. He brought up security concerns and said that it was essential to protect data assets. It would be important to have a structure in place before embarking on the BYOD journey.
Rebuttals
For the motion- Mr. Ramanathan
He said that there is no longer much difference between enterprise and consumer devices. And BYOD enhances communication and boosts collaboration. So what is of benefit to employees is beneficial for the Malaysian government as well. And he said that technology rightly implemented can take care of security concerns. You can easily create a sandbox on the phone and wipe that if the device is lost.
Against the motion- Mr. Kangarajah
Does BYOD actually reduce cost? If staff is company issued devices, from a vendor, the company knows the cost and can manage the cost. But with BYOD, you will need a whole bunch of administrative controls to monitor the devices, prevent data leakage. Also, what happens if a device is lost or it breaks down, maybe due to work related issues.
For the motion- Mr. Bahlman
Critical data should not be present on the devices in the first place. If it is not, then the question of administrative controls does not arise.
All data must be classified. Non-sensitive data, which might be bulk of what some employees are dealing with can be stored on own devices without adding to risk.
BYOD might be more expensive in the short-term because systems and services would have to be re-designed from the ground-up, to ensure that important data is protected. But it is an investment which will pay off in the long run. Successful implementation of a secure BYOD environment demonstrates a commitment to understanding your data.
Against the motion- Mr. Ashe
There might still be mixing of personal and work data on staff’s own devices, notwithstanding best efforts. If an Ipad is lost, the IT department might want to wipe it clean remotely. But what f the employee doesn’t want because he/she has valuable personal material on it.
Conclusion – A consensus
By this time, views seemed to converge, though the debaters were supposed to be on opposing sides. Strong policies are required and policies cannot be created reactively, on the fly. Also, policies by themselves might not be enough. Constant monitoring is required.
BYOD implemented the right way can enable delivery of internal services with flexibility and agility, enhance productivity, collaboration and innovation.
The debate was not over yet!
The debaters appeared to have moved to the side in favour of the motion. When Mr. Sagar asked the audience, composed of officials from the Malaysian government’s digital agencies, if they supported a favourable BYOD policy for the Malaysian government, the answer was a resounding Yes.
But there were a coda yet to come.
Mr. Sagar asked the audience if they would be okay with the IT department in their organisation installing applications and implementing security controls on their personal devices, there were more than a few NOs heard from the audience. They were not willing to relinquish even partial control over their devices.
Like many other aspects of digital transformation, it is clear what needs to be done, in theory. But it is about people at the end of the day. That has to be kept in mind for practical implementation of any policy or strategy and that would be the crucial difference between success and failure.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the global economy, digital transformation has become a key driver of growth and competitiveness. Indeed, embracing this transformative wave is not just a choice but a necessity. The key to unlocking Indonesia’s vast potential lies in adopting a skills-first approach to learning, where the workforce is equipped with the digital skills needed to thrive in the 21st-century economy.
Indonesia, with its diverse culture and abundant resources, stands at a crossroads of opportunity. However, to harness this potential fully, the country must transition into a digitally-driven economy. The pandemic has underscored the importance of digitalisation, making it imperative for businesses and individuals alike to adapt to the new normal. Embracing digital transformation is not only about survival but also about ensuring sustainable and inclusive growth.
While the vision of unlocking Indonesia’s potential through digital transformation is promising, some challenges must be addressed to ensure successful implementation; and one of the primary challenges is the digital divide.
To overcome this barrier, concerted efforts are needed to expand digital infrastructure and provide affordable access to technology, especially in remote and underserved areas. Government initiatives, public-private partnerships, and community-based programmes can play a pivotal role in bridging this gap.
Additionally, the education system must undergo a significant overhaul to align with the demands of the digital era. This involves revising curricula to include not only technical skills but also critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Encouraging multidisciplinary approaches and project-based learning can help students develop a holistic skill set that prepares them for the challenges of the digital workforce.
As Indonesia steers towards embracing digital transformation through skills-first learning, the trajectory of its economic and social development is poised to undergo a significant shift. A digitally skilled workforce not only attracts foreign investment but also fuels innovation and entrepreneurship domestically. The country can position itself as a hub for technological innovation, creating a vibrant ecosystem that fosters collaboration between startups, established enterprises, and research institutions.
Likewise, the benefits of digital transformation extend beyond economic considerations. Improved healthcare, enhanced public services, and increased connectivity can contribute to an overall improvement in the quality of life for Indonesian citizens. Smart cities, sustainable practices, and resilient communities can be nurtured through the integration of digital technologies into various facets of daily life.
The OpenGov Breakfast Insight held on 28 November 2023 at The Westin Jakarta discussed strategies to leverage emerging technologies for development and growth while acquiring digital skills to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market in Indonesia.
Opening Remarks








Mohit Sagar, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of OpenGov Asia recognises Indonesia’s foray into digital transformation, signalling a transformative phase poised for substantial economic growth. Digital transformation, the integration of digital technologies into all aspects of society, Mohit agrees, is essential to propelling the nation into a new era.
The surge in smartphone adoption, expanding internet accessibility, and a burgeoning middle class are propelling the country’s digital economy at an astonishing speed. However, he underscores that this shift must go beyond adopting gadgets. It must become a fundamental shift in how businesses operate, governments function, and citizens lead their lives.
Highlighting the importance of digital transformation in Indonesia is crucial, especially in enabling economic growth, enhancing efficiency, and improving overall quality of life. This hinges on the citizens’ capability to comprehend, utilise and optimise digital innovation and technology.
In light of this, the urgency of acquiring digital skills cannot be overstated. In a job market evolving at a breakneck pace, individuals equipped with digital skills stand at a vantage point, securing employment and propelling their careers forward. The consequences of lagging in this digital race are stark, posing a risk of job displacement and a potential slide into obsolescence across industries, from healthcare to finance.
Adaptability, perpetual learning, and the relevance of skills in the swiftly evolving digital landscape take centre stage in this educational revolution. Enter Skills-First Learning is an innovative educational approach prioritising practical skills over conventional academic qualifications. This groundbreaking method aims to equip individuals and the workforce with the precise skills needed to flourish in the digital age.
Indonesia’s job market is undergoing a radical metamorphosis, propelled by the swift march of digital technologies. Conventional job roles are shape-shifting, creating a new wave of digital-centric positions. Automation and artificial intelligence are reshaping the private sector and infiltrating government jobs, streamlining administrative tasks and service delivery.
Citing the Indonesian government’s Ministry of Communication and Information Technology’s projection of a need for up to 9 million digital talents by 2030, Mohit underscores the critical need for upskilling to meet the surging requirements of the digital age.
“In e-commerce, proficiency in digital marketing, data analysis, and e-commerce platform management is paramount,” says Mohit. “Fintech demands expertise in digital payments, blockchain, and risk management. Also, cybersecurity professionals need skills to shield digital assets from evolving cyber threats.”
The public sector, a cornerstone of societal development, must lead by example in embracing digital technologies. Government agencies grappling with skills gaps must bridge these divides to ensure effective digital transformation, necessitating collaboration with private industries and academia.
Moreover, as AI integration expands, ensuring transparency becomes paramount, aligning its use with public sector objectives, overseeing performance, and ensuring ethical deployment.
“Identifying existing skill gaps, tailoring training programmes, fostering digital literacy, and promoting a culture of continuous learning are the keystones to navigating Indonesia’s digital future successfully,” Mohit concludes. “The journey is difficult, but the destination promises unprecedented growth and innovation.”

In the age of digital transformation, effective communication stands out as a strategic investment crucial for organisational growth. Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) emerges as a cutting-edge concept in the realm of information and communications technology, offering integrated communication services through a cloud-based model.
This approach enables organisations to consolidate various communication tools such as voice, video, chat, web conferencing, and collaboration into a centralised platform, fostering seamless communication in the digital era.
The cloud-based nature of UCaaS provides organisations with flexibility, allowing teams to communicate and collaborate without geographical constraints or hardware limitations. By unifying communication tools, UCaaS simplifies infrastructure management and reduces IT burdens, empowering organisations to concentrate on their core activities.
One of the key advantages of UCaaS is its potential to enhance productivity by providing an integrated and user-friendly work environment. Features such as video conferencing, screen sharing, and live chat facilitate efficient communication among teams, regardless of their locations.
A robust UCaaS infrastructure should encompass voice calls, video conferencing, live chat, and cloud-based collaboration, ensuring that organisations can easily access and utilise various communication features. Integration with other business applications, such as email, calendar, and task management, further contributes to establishing a comprehensive communications ecosystem.
The successful implementation of UCaaS relies not only on selecting the right infrastructure but also on effective planning and adoption strategies. Organisations must carefully assess their communication needs and choose a UCaaS service provider capable of meeting those requirements. Involving end users in the implementation and training process is crucial for ensuring the optimal adoption of the UCaaS platform.
In response to the rise of remote work and increased team mobility, having a communication solution accessible from anywhere, at any time, and through various devices becomes paramount. UCaaS not only facilitates enhanced team collaboration but also boosts overall flexibility and productivity.
However, the adoption of UCaaS comes with considerations, particularly in terms of data security and privacy. Storing and accessing communication data via the cloud necessitates a robust focus on information security. Hence, selecting a UCaaS provider with a robust security policy and compliance with industry standards becomes critical for safeguarding sensitive information.
With the right UCaaS infrastructure and a well-planned implementation approach, organisations can optimise both internal and external communications. This not only cultivates a more connected and collaborative work environment but also provides a competitive advantage in navigating the ever-evolving landscape of business challenges.
The OpenGov Tech Day on 23 November 2023, at W Bangkok, Thailand served as an invaluable forum for in-depth discussions on accelerating communications in the digital transformation era. By bringing together organisational leaders from diverse sectors with UCaaS experts, this event aims to shed light on the transformative potential of UCaaS in fostering efficient and future-ready communication strategies.
Opening Remarks








Mohit Sagar, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of OpenGov Asia acknowledges that cutting-edge technology has accelerated a radical shift in the dynamics of the global workplace. The search for collaborative work environments has turned into a strategic imperative for organisations looking to stay ahead in a highly competitive landscape in this era of rapid digitalisation.
At the core of this transformative journey lies Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), marking not just the convergence of communication tools but a paradigm shift in the way individuals connect, collaborate, and innovate.
“The very nature of work has evolved – boundaries between physical and virtual spaces blur, diverse teams span the globe, and the speed of decision-making becomes a competitive advantage,” explains Mohit. “The role of unified communications takes centre stage as an enabler, transcending traditional communication barriers to foster a culture of collaboration that knows no bounds.”
UCaaS transcends the subtle technical nuances of unified messaging, video conferencing, and integrated collaboration platforms; it embodies a profound importance in the modern business landscape. Beyond being a merging of communication tools, UCaaS represents a strategic imperative for businesses, offering unparalleled flexibility to adapt to evolving work scenarios. It ensures a seamless experience that extends beyond geographical boundaries, facilitating unhindered communication and collaboration.
Mohit reiterates that more than just a technical solution, UCaaS creates an environment conducive to creativity and innovation. It acts as a catalyst for businesses to navigate the challenges posed by dynamic work situations, providing a framework for smooth and effective communication.
UCaaS emerges as a linchpin, fostering an atmosphere that encourages not just communication but the cultivation of ideas. It stands as a transformative force, empowering businesses to thrive in a landscape defined by change, ensuring they remain agile, connected, and primed for innovation. By enabling businesses to seamlessly navigate changing work dynamics, UCaaS becomes a strategic ally in ensuring operational continuity and workforce collaboration.
The flexibility inherent in UCaaS allows organisations to transcend traditional communication barriers, creating an interconnected workspace where geographical distances are no longer impediments. This not only streamlines workflows but also nurtures a collaborative ethos that is essential for sustained success.
Mohit believes that the collaborative potential embedded in UCaaS becomes a driving force, propelling organisations toward a future where adaptability, connectivity, and creativity converge seamlessly.
“As we navigate the intricacies of the digital age, the importance of UCaaS becomes increasingly evident,” Mohit concludes. “It not only transforms the way we communicate but becomes an integral component of a thriving, forward-thinking organisational culture – one that embraces change, encourages collaboration, and sets the stage for continuous innovation.”
Technology Insights


Nathan Guy, Head of UCaaS, Asia Pacific at Zoom, acknowledges the ongoing challenges confronted by support leaders in diverse companies, ranging from SMBs to larger enterprises. These challenges revolve around the imperative to achieve more with limited resources and meet the growing demand for responsive and proactive customer service.
To overcome these hurdles, according to Nathan, support leaders strategically leverage a combination of technology and automation while maintaining agility to adapt to evolving business landscapes. Effectively scaling teams necessitates the integration of innovative tools and technologies that deliver enhanced outcomes without incurring exorbitant costs.
“The goal is to improve support operations, increase productivity, and maintain a high level of customer service, particularly during peak periods such as Black Friday or the holiday season,” Nathan asserts.
In the area of customer service, seamless support across multiple channels, such as phone, video, and webchat, is deemed paramount. Nathan emphasises the critical role of technology in enhancing user and customer experiences, citing a Gartner survey that highlights the potential risk for businesses if customers experience dissatisfaction.
Nathan elaborates on Zoom’s AI innovation that focuses on empowering individuals and teams responsibly with a federated approach. The Customer Experience portfolio, including Zoom Contact Centre, Zoom Virtual Agent, and the new Workforce Engagement Management (WEM) offering, accommodates the changing dynamics of the future workplace.
Amid economic uncertainty and budget reductions, Nathan stresses the importance of establishing a robust technology foundation for stability and growth. Key elements include a cloud and mobile-first approach, prioritising employee engagement, fostering flexibility, enabling real-time collaboration, and promoting emotional well-being.
Zoom’s commitment to a solid technology infrastructure is evident in its communication and collaboration solutions tailored to diverse needs. The integration of AI further enhances the collaboration experience across Zoom’s solutions, aligning with their ultimate focus on serving customers and employees to thrive in the new era of work.
Recognising the critical role of customer-facing teams, Nathan advocates for empowering these teams as subject matter experts to deliver personalised and delightful experiences. This approach aligns with Zoom’s overarching mission to facilitate success in the evolving landscape of work.
“Customer-facing teams need to address various challenges to provide an exceptional customer experience. By empowering these teams to become subject matter experts, businesses can deliver personalised experiences that delight customers,” Nathan explains.





Jayraj Nair, Customer Experience Lead-ASEAN at Zoom, speaks to the primary objective of merging all product innovations into a unified solution. This holistic solution aims to empower knowledge workers and teams, fostering seamless collaboration internally and with external customers, ultimately propelling business growth.
The spectrum of employee collaboration activities spans calendar management, chat, email management, meeting collaboration, casual huddles, and task conclusion with phone calls. In contrast, customer collaboration encapsulates marketing events, webinars, sales processes, and delivering a unified customer experience, all within a singular interface.
Jayraj shares that the adverse impact of subpar customer experiences on businesses is substantial, particularly in today’s landscape where meeting customer needs demands personalised and insightful interactions despite limited resources. Studies underscore these challenges and highlight the escalating expectations of consumers.
A global Metrigy survey identifies “customer satisfaction” as the top business priority for 2022 and 2023, surpassing other concerns like product and service quality, information security, and revenue generation. Jayraj stresses the criticality of consistently delivering excellent customer experiences, as even a few negative encounters can result in a loss of 60% of customers.
Despite this, only 33% of customers believe that customer service organisations are improving. Recognising the need for digital engagement channels, customer service organisations are actively adapting to address emerging trends and priorities, aligning with Gartner’s predictions of increased spending on digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), and security.
Organisations providing a total experience connecting employees and customers are projected to outperform competitors in satisfaction metrics by 25% in both customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX) by 2024. However, delivering a consistently excellent customer experience becomes challenging when EX and CX strategies are developed independently.
“Recognising the interconnectedness of EX and CX and aligning strategies accordingly can lead to more seamless and satisfying experiences for both employees and customers,” Jayraj explains. “The integration of employee productivity and customer experience is expected to emerge as a prominent trend for 2023.”
A significant challenge in delivering excellent customer experience is the presence of teams working in silos with different tools, hindering effective communication and collaboration. A report suggests that by 2026, around 60% of large enterprises will leverage the concept of total experience to transform their business models.
Zoom addresses these challenges by offering an end-to-end capability for both EX and CX through its cloud-based Zoom Platform. In 2022 alone, the company released over 1,500 new features and products, showcasing remarkable product innovation and expansion.
Zoom’s comprehensive collaboration solutions, including Zoom Phone, Zoom Events, Webinars, Meetings, Zoom Spaces, and developer tools, cater to both employee and customer experience. Their CX products, such as Zoom Contact Centre, Zoom Virtual Agent, and Zoom IQ, further emphasise their commitment to providing comprehensive solutions.
Jayraj reveals that Zoom’s Contact Centre, a video-first omnichannel Contact Centre-as-a-Service (CCaaS) solution, is included in the Zoom platform. It enables businesses to deliver prompt, efficient, and highly personalised customer experiences that drive loyalty and retention.
Zoom Contact Centre integrates unified communications with customer experience, allowing businesses to engage with customers naturally and efficiently. Advanced features like skills-based routing and an intelligent virtual agent enhance the ability to provide concierge-like experiences at scale.
Zoom Virtual Agent, operating 24/7 across multiple support channels, ensures fast and personalised customer experiences, reduces call volumes for human agents, and generates significant operational efficiencies. It can be seamlessly integrated with Zoom Contact Centre and other leading CRM and contact centre solutions.
“All these innovations showcase Zoom’s commitment to providing comprehensive solutions that cater to the evolving needs of organisations in enhancing both EX and CX,” Jayraj concludes.

Nathan expressed sincere appreciation for participants, recognising their inputs are underpinned by a shared aspiration and collective commitment to preparing for the digital era. Their unwavering dedication would serve them well as they navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the digital era.
Distilling the outcome of their discussions, he emphasises the pivotal role of communication in nurturing synergy and collaboration among team members, highlighting its critical function in aligning perspectives, cultivating trust, and averting misinterpretations. Effective communication, when coupled with clarity and efficiency, enables teams to overcome potential limitations, fostering a dynamic work environment.
Addressing the evolving landscape, Nathan points to the increasing reliance on cloud infrastructure for communication in remote work environments. Ongoing digital transformation has significantly altered communication methods in the workplace, especially with the widespread adoption of cloud infrastructure.
He acknowledges the potential for maximising and optimising cloud systems to boost organisational efficiency, leading to heightened customer satisfaction. Cloud systems provide versatile access to work information and tools, fostering seamless collaboration among team members regardless of geographic constraints.
Mohit reiterates the increasing significance of equipping organisations with a UCaaS system in response to a dynamic communications environment. This approach, attuned to the shifting landscape of communication in the digital era, consolidates diverse communication services – encompassing voice, instant messaging, video collaboration, and document sharing – into a cohesive, unified platform.
His call for the adoption of UCaaS advocates for a deliberate and strategic effort directed towards ensuring that organisations are not only well-equipped but also proactively positioned to effectively address and overcome the communication challenges presented by the digital age.
This strategic outlook underscores the recognition of the transformative power of UCaaS in enhancing organisational communication, fostering collaboration, and navigating the intricacies of modern digital landscapes.
By embracing UCaaS, organisations position themselves to harness the full potential of integrated communication tools, streamline operations, and stay ahead in an evolving digital environment where effective communication is paramount for sustained success.
“Recognising the profound impact that integrated and efficient communications, the investment in a UCaaS system stands as a cornerstone in readying organisations for success in an era defined by constantly evolving modes of communication,” Mohit concludes.

Dalam era transformasi digital, komunikasi menjadi hal penting sebagai salah satu investasi untuk mendukung pertumbuhan organisasi. Melalui komunikasi yang efektif dan lancar, organisasi dapat dengan mudah melakukan adaptasi di era digital.
Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) adalah sebuah konsep terkini dalam dunia teknologi informasi dan komunikasi yang menawarkan berbagai layanan komunikasi terpadu melalui model layanan berbasis cloud. Dengan pendekatan ini, organisasi dapat menggabungkan berbagai alat komunikasi seperti suara, video, obrolan, konferensi web, dan kolaborasi dalam satu platform yang terpusat.

UCaaS tidak hanya mengintegrasikan alat komunikasi, tetapi juga menyederhanakan manajemen dan pemeliharaan infrastruktur komunikasi, mengurangi beban IT, dan memungkinkan organisasi untuk fokus pada kegiatan inti mereka.
Kelebihan lain dari UCaaS adalah kemampuannya untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dengan menyediakan lingkungan kerja yang terintegrasi dan mudah digunakan. Dengan fitur-fitur seperti konferensi video, berbagi layar, dan obrolan langsung, tim dapat berkomunikasi secara efisien, bahkan jika mereka berada di lokasi yang berbeda. Selain itu, kemampuan integrasi dengan aplikasi bisnis lainnya, seperti email, kalender, dan aplikasi manajemen tugas, juga merupakan faktor kunci dalam membentuk ekosistem komunikasi yang holistik.
Keberhasilan implementasi UCaaS tidak hanya tergantung pada pemilihan infrastruktur yang tepat, tetapi juga pada perencanaan dan strategi pengadopsiannya yang baik. Organisasi perlu mengidentifikasi kebutuhan komunikasi mereka dengan cermat dan memilih penyedia layanan UCaaS yang dapat memenuhi persyaratan tersebut.
Selain itu, terlibatnya pengguna akhir dalam seluruh tahapan proses implementasi dan pelatihan merupakan langkah krusial yang tidak dapat diabaikan. Dengan melibatkan mereka secara aktif, baik dalam pemahaman akan fitur-fitur yang ditawarkan maupun dalam mengikuti pelatihan yang komprehensif, dapat memastikan adopsi yang sukses dan optimal dari platform UCaaS. Pendekatan ini tidak hanya membangun pemahaman mendalam tentang kemampuan platform, tetapi juga menciptakan keterlibatan yang berkelanjutan, yang pada gilirannya dapat membentuk pengguna menjadi ahli yang percaya diri dalam memanfaatkan semua potensi yang ditawarkan oleh platform tersebut.
Dalam menghadapi tren kerja jarak jauh dan mobilitas tim yang semakin tinggi, memiliki solusi komunikasi yang dapat diakses dari mana saja, kapan saja, dan dari berbagai perangkat adalah kunci untuk mencapai kelancaran kolaborasi tim. UCaaS tidak hanya memfasilitasi kolaborasi tim yang lebih baik tetapi juga meningkatkan fleksibilitas dan produktivitas secara keseluruhan.
Perusahaan mengadopsi UCaaS juga perlu memperhatikan keamanan data dan privasi. Dengan data komunikasi yang disimpan dan diakses melalui infrastruktur cloud, menjaga keamanan informasi menjadi prioritas utama. Oleh karena itu, dalam konteks ini, pemilihan penyediaUCaaS dengan kebijakan keamanan yang kuat dan kepatuhan yang ketat terhadap standar keamanan industri sangat krusial. Menciptakan lapisan pertahanan yang kokoh untuk data komunikasi yang diakses dan disimpan di lingkungan cloud menjadi suatu keharusan, terutama mengingat meningkatnya kompleksitas ancaman siber saat ini.
Dengan infrastruktur UCaaS yang tepat dan pendekatan implementasi yang baik, organisasi dapat mengoptimalkan komunikasi internal dan eksternal mereka dengan sangat lancar. Hal ini tentunya tidak hanya menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang lebih terhubung dan kolaboratif, tetapi juga memberikan keuntungan kompetitif dalam menghadapi tantangan bisnis yang terus berkembang.
Acara OpenGov Tech Day telah digelar pada tanggal 23 November 2023 di W Bangkok, Thailand, merupakan sebuah forum yang sangat informatif. Dalam rangka memfasilitasi diskusi mendalam tentang percepatan komunikasi di era transformasi digital, acara ini berhasil mengumpulkan pemimpin organisasi dari berbagai sektor dengan para ahli Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS).
Berbagai sesi diskusi dan presentasi dalam acara ini mencakup beragam topik, mulai dari pemilihan infrastruktur UCaaS yang tepat hingga strategi pengadopsian komunikasi yang sukses. Para delegasi dapat mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang bagaimana UCaaS dapat membentuk ekosistem komunikasi yang holistik dalam organisasi mereka.
Salam Pembuka








Mohit Sagar selaku CEO dan Pemimpin Redaktur OpenGov Asia mengakui bahwa teknologi canggih telah mempercepat pergeseran radikal dalam dinamika tempat kerja global. Pencarian lingkungan kerja kolaboratif telah berubah menjadi imperatif strategis bagi organisasi yang ingin tetap unggul dalam lanskap yang sangat kompetitif di era digitalisasi yang cepat ini.
Pada inti dari perjalanan transformatif ini terletak Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), yang tidak hanya menandai konvergensi alat komunikasi tetapi juga pergeseran paradigma dalam cara individu terhubung, berkolaborasi, dan berinovasi.
“Sifat pekerjaan telah berkembang – batasan antara ruang fisik dan virtual kabur, tim yang beragam menjangkau seluruh dunia, dan kecepatan pengambilan keputusan menjadi keunggulan kompetitif,” jelas Mohit. “Peran komunikasi terpadu mengambil pusat perhatian sebagai penggerak, melampaui hambatan komunikasi tradisional untuk menumbuhkan budaya kolaborasi yang tidak mengenal batas.”
UCaaS melampaui nuansa teknis yang halus dari pesan terpadu, konferensi video, dan platform kolaborasi terintegrasi; ini memiliki kepentingan mendalam dalam lanskap bisnis modern. Di luar penggabungan alat komunikasi, UCaaS merupakan imperatif strategis bagi bisnis, menawarkan fleksibilitas yang tak tertandingi untuk beradaptasi dengan skenario kerja yang terus berkembang. Ini memastikan pengalaman yang mulus yang melampaui batas geografis, memfasilitasi komunikasi dan kolaborasi tanpa hambatan.
Mohit menegaskan kembali bahwa lebih dari sekadar solusi teknis, UCaaS menciptakan lingkungan yang kondusif bagi kreativitas dan inovasi. Ini bertindak sebagai katalis bagi bisnis untuk menavigasi tantangan yang ditimbulkan oleh situasi kerja yang dinamis, memberikan kerangka kerja untuk komunikasi yang lancar dan efektif.
UCaaS muncul sebagai kunci, menumbuhkan suasana yang mendorong tidak hanya komunikasi tetapi juga pengembangan ide-ide. Ini berdiri sebagai kekuatan transformatif, memberdayakan bisnis untuk berkembang dalam lanskap yang ditentukan oleh perubahan, memastikan mereka tetap gesit, terhubung, dan siap untuk inovasi. Dengan memungkinkan bisnis untuk menavigasi dinamika kerja yang berubah dengan mulus, UCaaS menjadi sekutu strategis dalam memastikan kelangsungan operasional dan kolaborasi tenaga kerja.
Fleksibilitas yang melekat dalam UCaaS memungkinkan organisasi untuk melampaui hambatan komunikasi tradisional, menciptakan ruang kerja yang saling terhubung di mana jarak geografis tidak lagi menjadi hambatan. Ini tidak hanya merampingkan alur kerja tetapi juga menumbuhkan etos kolaboratif yang penting untuk kesuksesan berkelanjutan.
Mohit percaya bahwa potensi kolaboratif yang tertanam dalam UCaaS menjadi kekuatan pendorong, mendorong organisasi menuju masa depan di mana adaptabilitas, konektivitas, dan kreativitas menyatu dengan mulus.
“Saat kita menavigasi seluk beluk era digital, pentingnya UCaaS menjadi semakin jelas,” pungkas Mohit. “Ini tidak hanya mengubah cara kita berkomunikasi tetapi juga menjadi komponen integral dari budaya organisasi yang berkembang dan berpikiran maju – budaya yang merangkul perubahan, mendorong kolaborasi, dan menyiapkan panggung untuk inovasi berkelanjutan.”

Nathan Guy selaku Head of UCaaS untuk Asia Pasifik di Zoom, menggarisbawahi terkait berbagai tantangan yang dihadapi oleh berbagai pemimpin perusahaan dari beragam tingkatan. Tantangan tersebut berpusat pada kebutuhan untuk mencapai lebih banyak hal dengan sumber daya yang terbatas dan tuntutan yang terus meningkat untuk layanan pelanggan yang responsif dan proaktif. Untuk mengatasi tantangan ini, pemimpin dukungan secara strategis menggunakan kombinasi teknologi dan otomatisasi sambil tetap menjaga kegesitan untuk beradaptasi dengan lanskap bisnis yang terus berkembang.
Dalam melakukan peningkatan kualitas tim secara efektif, para pemimpin memberikan prioritas dukungan terhadap integrasi alat dan teknologi inovatif yang dapat memberikan hasil signifikan tanpa menambah biaya (cost). Tujuan dari langkah tersebut adalah demi mengoptimalkan operasional, meningkatkan produktivitas, dan menjaga kualitas pelayanan pelanggan. Hal ini menjadi sangat penting terutama pada high season seperti Black Friday atau musim liburan. Pada masa-masa ini, permintaan pelanggan cenderung meningkat secara signifikan. Melalui pengoptimalan dukungan operasional dan produktivitas, perusahaan dapat lebih efisien menangani lonjakan permintaan tersebut, sambil tetap memberikan pelayanan yang baik kepada pelanggan.
Dalam sisi customer service, dukungan yang lancar dari berbagai channel, seperti telfon, video dan webchat adalah penting untuk dipotimalkan. Pengalaman negatif yang dialami oleh pelanggan memiliki potensi besar untuk mengarahkan mereka beralih ke layanan yang disediakan oleh pesaing. Pada saat pelanggan merasa tidak puas dengan pelayanan suatu perusahaan, mereka mungkin mencari alternatif yang dapat memenuhi kebutuhan dan harapan mereka dengan lebih baik. Dalam konteks ini, peran teknologi menjadi semakin krusial, karena kemajuan teknologi dapat menjadi kunci dalam meningkatkan secara signifikan pengalaman pengguna dan pelanggan.
Survei Gartner menyebutkan bahwa lebih dari 60% pelanggan mempertimbangkan untuk beralih kepada competitor akibat pengalaman pelanggan yang buruk. Oleh karena itu, perusahaan dituntut untuk tetap memahami dan memenuhi harapan pelanggan, serta secara proaktif memanfaatkan teknologi guna meningkatkan kualitas dan keseluruhan pengalaman yang diberikan kepada pelanggan.
Teknologi dapat memberikan dampak positif dalam berbagai aspek pengalaman pelanggan, mulai dari kemudahan akses, responsivitas, hingga kualitas layanan secara keseluruhan. Pemanfaatan teknologi dalam memberikan solusi yang efektif dan inovatif dapat menciptakan lingkungan yang mendukung interaksi yang lancar dan memuaskan antara perusahaan dan pelanggan. Oleh karena itu, investasi dalam teknologi yang dapat meningkatkan kualitas layanan dan respons terhadap kebutuhan pelanggan menjadi suatu strategi yang sangat penting bagi perusahaan.
Inovasi kecerdasan buatan (AI) Zoom berfokus pada pemberdayaan tim, guna memastikan penggunaan yang bertanggungjawab melalui privasi keamanan data. Portfolio User Experience Zoom sendiri mencakup Zoom Contact Centre, Zoom Virtual Agent, dan penawaran Workforce Engagement Management (WEM) baru, yang mampu mengatasi dinamika berubahnya tempat kerja di masa depan.
Ketika bisnis menghadapi situasi ekonomi yang tidak pasti dan mengalami pemangkasan anggaran, Nathan menyoroti pentingnya untuk menyusun dasar teknologi yang kokoh sebagai landasan bagi stabilitas dan pertumbuhan organisasi. Beberapa elemen kunci yang ditekankan melibatkan pendekatan cloud dan mobile-first, memberikan perhatian utama pada keterlibatan karyawan, mendorong fleksibilitas, memungkinkan kolaborasi secara real-time, dan mengedepankan kesejahteraan emosional.
Dengan membangun fondasi teknologi yang solid berdasarkan elemen-elemen ini, perusahaan dapat lebih baik mengatasi tantangan ekonomi dan melanjutkan pertumbuhan mereka dengan lebih baik.
Komitmen Zoom terhadap infrastruktur teknologi yang solid terlihat dalam solusi komunikasi dan kolaborasi yang disesuaikan memalui preferensi dengan berbagai kebutuhan user. Penggunaan Integrasi AI mampu meningkatkan pengalaman kolaborasi di semua solusi Zoom. Hal ini sejalan dengan fokus utama Zoom dalam memberikan pelayanan kepada pelanggan dan karyawan agar dapat berkembang di era lingkungan kerja yang dinamis. Dengan mengintegrasikan teknologi AI ke dalam solusi mereka, Zoom berhasil meningkatkan kualitas dan efektivitas kolaborasi, menciptakan pengalaman yang lebih canggih dan responsif untuk para user mereka.
Nathan menyadari bahwa tim yang berinteraksi langsung dengan user memiliki peran yang sangat penting dalam menciptakan user experience yang luar biasa. Dengan memberdayakan tim ini sebagai ahli dalam bidangnya, bisnis dapat memberikan experience yang tidak hanya dipersonalisasi sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan preferensi user, tetapi juga dapat memberikan kepuasan. Hal ini sejalan dengan misi Zoom untuk menciptakan kesuksesan di tengah perubahan kerja yang dinamis secara terus-menerus. Dengan memiliki tim yang memahami dengan baik kebutuhan user dan mampu memberikan pengalaman yang positif, Zoom bertujuan untuk menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang dapat mendukung pertumbuhan, baik bagi pelanggan maupun perusahaan.
“Tim yang berhadapan langsung dengan user perlu mengatasi berbagai tantangan dalam memberikan user experience yang luar biasa,” jelas Nathan. “Dengan memberdayakan tim ini untuk menjadi ahli dalam bidangnya, bisnis dapat memberikan personalised-experience yang membuat user merasa puas.”





Jayraj Nair, Customer Experience Lead-ASEAN di Zoom, menyoroti tujuan utama adalah menggabungkan semua inovasi produk ke dalam solusi terpadu. Solusi holistik ini bertujuan untuk memberdayakan seluruh pekerja dan tim, untuk mendorong kolaborasi internal dan dengan pelanggan eksternal secara mulus, yang pada akhirnya akan mendorong pertumbuhan bisnis.
Aktivitas kolaborasi karyawan di antaranya dengan melakukan berbagai kegiatan termasuk manajemen kalender, obrolan, pengelolaan email, kolaborasi dalam rapat, pertemuan informal, dan menyelesaikan tugas dengan panggilan telepon. Di sisi lain, kolaborasi pelanggan mencakup kegiatan seperti acara pemasaran, webinar, proses penjualan, dan memberikan user-experience yang terpadu terintegrasi dalam satu interface.
Dampak buruk dari pengalaman pengguna yang kurang memuaskan terhadap bisnis memiliki konsekuensi yang signifikan, terutama dalam lanskap bisnis saat ini di mana memenuhi kebutuhan pelanggan tidak hanya mengharuskan interaksi yang dipersonalisasi tetapi juga pemberian wawasan yang relevan, bahkan ketika sumber daya terbatas. Penelitian dan studi terkait menyoroti sejumlah tantangan yang dihadapi bisnis dalam memenuhi standar pengalaman pengguna yang semakin tinggi, serta menunjukkan bahwa ekspektasi konsumen terus meningkat seiring waktu.
Survei global Metrigy mengidentifikasi “user satisfaction” sebagai prioritas utama bisnis untuk tahun 2022 dan 2023, melampaui kekhawatiran lain seperti kualitas produk dan layanan, keamanan informasi, dan generasi pendapatan. Jayraj menekankan pentingnya untuk secara konsisten memberikan pengalaman pelanggan yang sangat baik, karena bahkan beberapa pengalaman negatif dapat mengakibatkan kehilangan 60% pelanggan.
Meskipun demikian, hanya 33% pelanggan yang percaya bahwa organisasi layanan pelanggan sedang meningkat. Mengakui kebutuhan akan saluran interaksi digital, organisasi layanan pelanggan secara aktif beradaptasi untuk mengatasi tren dan prioritas yang muncul, sejalan dengan prediksi Gartner tentang peningkatan pengeluaran untuk transformasi digital, kecerdasan buatan (AI), dan keamanan.
Organisasi yang menyediakan pengalaman menyeluruh yang menghubungkan karyawan dan pelanggan diproyeksikan akan melampaui pesaing dalam metrik kepuasan sebesar 25% baik dalam customer experience (CX) maupun employee experience (EX) pada tahun 2024. Namun, memberikan pengalaman pelanggan yang konsisten dan sangat baik menjadi sulit ketika strategi EX dan CX dikembangkan secara independen.
Keterkaitan EX dan CX serta mengaligkan strategi secara tepat dapat mengarah pada pengalaman yang lebih mulus dan memuaskan baik untuk karyawan maupun pelanggan. Integrasi produktivitas karyawan dan pengalaman pelanggan diperkirakan akan menjadi tren utama untuk tahun 2023.
Tantangan signifikan dalam memberikan pengalaman pelanggan yang sangat baik adalah adanya tim yang bekerja dalam silo dengan berbagai alat, menghambat komunikasi dan kolaborasi yang efektif. Laporan menunjukkan bahwa pada tahun 2026, sekitar 60% perusahaan besar akan memanfaatkan konsep pengalaman total untuk mengubah model bisnis mereka.
Zoom mengatasi tantangan ini dengan menawarkan kemampuan end-to-end untuk employee experience (EX) dan customer experience (CX) melalui platform berbasis cloud mereka. Pada tahun 2022, Zoom berhasil merilis lebih dari 1.500 fitur dan produk baru, memperlihatkan inovasi produk yang luar biasa.
Solusi kolaborasi komprehensif Zoom, termasuk Zoom Phone, Zoom Events, Webinars, Meetings, Zoom Spaces, dan alat pengembang, melayani baik employee experience (EX) dan customer experience (CX). Produk CX mereka, seperti Zoom Contact Centre, Zoom Virtual Agent, dan Zoom IQ, lebih lanjut menekankan komitmen mereka untuk menyediakan solusi komprehensif.
Jayraj menyoroti bahwa Contact Centre Zoom, solusi Contact Centre-as-a-Service (CCaaS) merupakan platform berbasis video. Hal ini dapat mewadahi bisnis untuk memberikan pengalaman pelanggan yang cepat, efisien, dan sangat personals sehingga dapat meningkatkan loyalitas pelanggan.
Zoom Contact Centre mengintegrasikan komunikasi yang bersatu dengan pengalaman pelanggan, memungkinkan bisnis berinteraksi dengan pelanggan secara alami dan efisien. Fitur canggih seperti routing berbasis keterampilan dan agen virtual cerdas mampu memberikan pengalaman yang memuaskan.
Zoom Virtual Agent, yang beroperasi 24/7 dapat melintasi berbagai support channel, bertujuan untuk memastikan user experience yang cepat, sehingga mampu memberikan efisiensi operasional yang signifikan. Hal ini dapat diintegrasikan dengan Zoom Contact Centre dan solusi CRM serta pusat kontak terkemuka lainnya.
“Semua inovasi ini menunjukkan komitmen Zoom dalam menyediakan solusi komprehensif yang memenuhi kebutuhan berkembang organisasi dalam meningkatkan baik pengalaman karyawan (EX) maupun customer experience (CX),” simpul Jayraj seklaigus dimeriahi oleh tepuk tangan seluruh delegasi yang hadir.
Nathan memberikan apresisasi yang sebesar-besarnya kepada para peserta yang turut hadir dalam acara tersebut. Baginya, pertemuan ini menjadi sebuah komitmen bersama untuk mencapai tujuan mempersiapkan diri di era digital.
Komunikasi merupakan fondasi terpenting dalam membangun sinergi dan kerjasama di antara anggota tim. Ketika komunikasi diperkuat dengan kejelasan dan efisiensi, tim dapat melampaui batasan-batasan yang mungkin terjadi. Dalam lingkungan kerja, komunikasi yang efektif memainkan peran krusial dalam menyatukan pemikiran, membangun kepercayaan, dan menghindari kesalahpahaman yang mungkin muncul di antara individu-individu dengan latar belakang, pengalaman, dan pemahaman yang berbeda.
Di samping itu, kemampuan untuk menyampaikan ide, menyikapi umpan balik, serta memahami kebutuhan dan harapan masing-masing anggota tim menjadi lebih lancar dan efektif melalui komunikasi yang terbuka dan jelas. Dalam konteks ini, fasilitasi komunikasi yang inklusif dan berkelanjutan menjadi kunci dalam menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang dinamis, berinovasi, dan mendukung pertumbuhan kolektif bagi setiap individu di dalam tim.
Ia menyoroti, transformasi digital akan semakin menggunakan infrastruktur cloud untuk menunjang komunikasi di lingkungan kerja tim. Melihat semakin maraknya pekerjaan yang dilakukan secara jarak jauh, sistem ini akan mempermudah komunikasi Dengan pemanfaatan yang maksimal dan optimal, operasional organisasi akan semakin efisien sehingga berdampak kepada kepuasan pelanggan yang positif.
Transformasi digital membawa pergeseran besar dalam tata cara komunikasi di lingkungan kerja. Melalui pengadopsian infrastruktur cloud yang semakin meluas, kolaborasi tim dari berbagai lokasi fisik menjadi lebih mudah dan efisien. Sistem cloud memberikan akses yang fleksibel dan menyeluruh ke informasi dan alat kerja, memungkinkan anggota tim untuk terhubung, berbagi data, dan bekerja sama tanpa terkendala oleh batasan geografis.
Oleh karena itu, Mohit menambahkan bahwa persiapan sistem Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) menjadi semakin vital dalam merespons dinamika komunikasi di era digital saat ini. Dengan evolusi peran komunikasi dalam lingkungan kerja, terutama seiring dengan perubahan ke arah model kerja yang lebih fleksibel dan terdistribusi, pendekatan UCaaS memungkinkan organisasi untuk mengintegrasikan berbagai layanan komunikasi seperti suara, pesan instan, kolaborasi video, serta berbagi dokumen dalam satu platform terpadu.
“Dengan pemahaman mendalam tentang pentingnya komunikasi yang terintegrasi dan efektif, investasi dalam sistem UCaaS menjadi kunci dalam mempersiapkan organisasi untuk meraih kesuksesan di era komunikasi yang terus berkembang,” tutup Mohit sambil dilanjutkan oleh tepuk tangan peserta.

In the dynamic landscape of the digital era organisations are undergoing a paradigm shift in communication strategies, with the adoption of Cloud Communications emerging as a crucial catalyst for success.
In the digital era, the evolution of communication demands a fundamental reassessment by organisations, and at the forefront of this revolution is Cloud Communications. Offering a flexible and scalable infrastructure that goes beyond traditional boundaries, it establishes a centralised platform for communication, collaboration, and information sharing, overcoming the limitations of geographical location and device constraints.
Cloud Communications, particularly within the realm of modern Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), unleashes transformative potential by fostering innovation and flexibility and enhances overall organisational agility in the creation of a collaborative workplace. UCaaS represents the evolution of communication technologies, seamlessly integrating diverse communication channels like voice, video, messaging and collaboration tools into a unified platform.
By providing features like instant messaging, presence, and integrated voice and video conferencing, UCaaS empowers teams to collaborate seamlessly, regardless of their physical location. It modernises workplace communication, fostering an environment where employees can more easily connect, share ideas, and collaborate in real-time. This not only enhances productivity but also contributes to the development of a more agile and responsive organisation.
At the core of Cloud Communications is the drive to cultivate a collaborative workplace, where UCaaS takes a pivotal role in breaking down silos and facilitating meaningful interactions. A significant advantage of Cloud Communications lies in its intrinsic flexibility and scalability, allowing organisations to adapt to evolving business needs by leveraging the scalable nature of UCaaS
Whether accommodating a remote workforce, expanding operations, or integrating new communication tools, UCaaS ensures that organisations can evolve without the constraints of traditional communication infrastructures.
The success of any communication platform hinges on a seamless and intuitive user experience, and UCaaS plays a pivotal role in achieving this by offering a unified interface for various communication tools. This simplification not only enhances user adoption but also streamlines the IT infrastructure, diminishing the complexity associated with managing multiple communication channels.
Security is a paramount concern in the digital era, and Cloud Communications addresses this concern through robust security measures. Encryption, multi-factor authentication and secure data transmission protocols embedded in UCaaS ensure the protection of sensitive information. These measures not only foster a secure collaborative environment but also instil trust in the reliability of Cloud Communications.
The OpenGov Tech Day on 21 November 2023 at the Sheraton Imperial, Kuala Lumpur Hotel discussed the latest cloud technology trends and benefits for key sectors in Malaysia, including public, enterprise, education, financial services and healthcare.
Opening Remarks








Mohit Sagar, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of OpenGov Asia states that “communication is at the heart of teamwork”. Particularly in the digital age, promoting teamwork and progress hinges significantly on maintaining openness and effective communication.
The ongoing evolution of innovation and the expanding, boundless nature of workspaces underline the necessity for humans to adapt not just to novel communication methods but also to the overall evolution of work itself. Technological progress has led to an open work environment facilitating cross-border collaboration, remote work, and real-time exchange of ideas, transcending physical limitations.
Mohit stresses that adaptability in communication is not only a need but also a necessity in today’s increasingly connected and dynamic environment. Team members should possess the ability to comprehend and utilise diverse communication platforms, be attuned to varying communication styles among colleagues, and enhance their adaptability to the ongoing shifts in information dynamics.
Sustaining constant innovation requires not just adaptability in communication but also flexibility, a comprehension of evolving work cultures, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. This underscores the importance of cultivating flexible thinking and robust communication skills across various frameworks, such as meeting presentations, online collaboration, and assimilating information from multiple sources.
A pivotal force propelling the virtual communication era is the infrastructure supporting efficient communication, with User Experience (UX) playing a crucial role. A positive user experience, primarily reliant on an interface that is easy to use, intuitive, and understandable, directly contributes to seamless and effective communication.
The quality of the user experience on a virtual communication platform is significantly impacted by how people interact and collaborate. A user-friendly interface, as well as easily accessible features, ensure that users can focus on the message’s content or communication goals, rather than technical obstacles or platform confusion. The user-friendly interface reduces communication barriers, creates more efficient channels for information exchange, and promotes productive collaboration.
Additionally, features that support various aspects of communication, such as visual collaboration, document sharing, or online meetings, in a single integrated platform are critical. This provides a more holistic experience for users, reduces the need for multiple platforms, which can make coordination difficult, and ensures a focus on communication objectives.
The importance of employing video as a communication tool is steadily gaining traction in the contemporary workplace. The rapid growth of video communication is attributed to its capacity to introduce a new dimension to interpersonal interactions. It encompasses not only verbal communication but also incorporates visual elements, enabling facial expressions, body language, and visual context to enrich the overall communication experience.
“Video in workplace communications provides a richer and deeper platform for collaboration. This enables richer information sharing, deeper understanding, and the possibility of engaging in more dynamic and meaningful discussions,” explains Mohit. “Even in remote working situations, team members can feel each other’s presence through video.”
Video has become indispensable in the contemporary workplace, where remote work and flexibility are increasingly embraced to preserve the personalised aspects of communication. Despite team members being geographically dispersed, the accessibility of video conferencing tools and advanced visual collaboration platforms enables interactions that closely mirror those of in-person meetings, thanks to the sophistication of evolving technology.
“Video is not only an effective communication tool, but also a medium for building closer team relationships, increasing engagement, and increasing collaboration across teams globally,” Mohit concludes.
Technology Insights




Nathan Guy, Head of UCaaS, Asia Pacific, at Zoom, acknowledges the consistent challenges faced by support leaders across diverse company sizes, from SMBs to larger enterprises. These challenges centre around the need to achieve more with limited resources and the ever-growing demand for responsive and proactive customer service.
To navigate these challenges, support leaders strategically employ a blend of technology and automation while maintaining agility to adapt to evolving business landscapes.

“According to a Gartner survey, over 60% of customers would contemplate moving their business due to a poor customer experience,” Nathan explains. “This presents a significant risk for businesses, and technology is now driving a differentiation strategy to enhance user and customer experiences.”
Zoom’s AI innovation focuses on empowering individuals and teams, ensuring responsible use prioritising privacy and security, and adopting a federated approach that adapts to industry evolution. Their Customer Experience portfolio includes Zoom Contact Centre, Zoom Virtual Agent, and a new Workforce Engagement Management (WEM) offering, addressing the changing dynamics of the future workplace.
As businesses grapple with economic uncertainty and budget reductions, Nathan stresses the importance of establishing a robust technology foundation for stability and growth. Key elements include a cloud and mobile-first approach, prioritising employee engagement, fostering flexibility, enabling real-time collaboration, and promoting emotional well-being.
Zoom’s commitment to a solid technology infrastructure is evident in its communication and collaboration solutions tailored to diverse needs. The integration of AI further enhances the collaboration experience across Zoom’s solutions, aligning with their ultimate focus on serving customers and their employees to thrive in the new era of work.
Nathan recognises the critical role of customer-facing teams in providing exceptional experiences. Empowering these teams as subject matter experts enables businesses to deliver personalised and delightful experiences, aligning with Zoom’s overarching mission to facilitate success in the evolving landscape of work.
“Customer-facing teams need to address various challenges to provide an exceptional customer experience,” Nathan knows well. “By empowering these teams to become subject matter experts, businesses can deliver personalised experiences that delight customers.”





Jayraj Nair, Customer Experience Lead-ASEAN at Zoom, underscores the primary objective of amalgamating all product innovations into a unified solution. This holistic solution aims to empower knowledge workers and teams, fostering seamless collaboration internally and with external customers, ultimately propelling business growth.
The spectrum of employee collaboration activities spans calendar management, chat, email management, meeting collaboration, casual huddles, and task conclusion with phone calls. In contrast, customer collaboration encapsulates marketing events, webinars, sales processes, and delivering a unified customer experience, all within a singular interface.
The adverse impact of subpar customer experiences on businesses is substantial, particularly in today’s landscape where meeting customer needs demands personalised and insightful interactions despite limited resources. Studies underscore these challenges and highlight the escalating expectations of consumers.
A global Metrigy survey identifies “customer satisfaction” as the top business priority for 2022 and 2023, surpassing other concerns like product and service quality, information security, and revenue generation. Jayraj stresses the criticality of consistently delivering excellent customer experiences, as even a few negative encounters can result in a loss of 60% of customers.
Despite this, only 33% of customers believe that customer service organisations are improving. Recognising the need for digital engagement channels, customer service organisations are actively adapting to address emerging trends and priorities, aligning with Gartner’s predictions of increased spending on digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), and security.
Organisations providing a total experience connecting employees and customers are projected to outperform competitors in satisfaction metrics by 25% in both customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX) by 2024. However, delivering a consistently excellent customer experience becomes challenging when EX and CX strategies are developed independently.
Recognising the interconnectedness of EX and CX and aligning strategies accordingly can lead to more seamless and satisfying experiences for both employees and customers. The integration of employee productivity and customer experience is expected to emerge as a prominent trend for 2023.
A significant challenge in delivering excellent customer experience is the presence of teams working in silos with different tools, hindering effective communication and collaboration. A report suggests that by 2026, around 60% of large enterprises will leverage the concept of total experience to transform their business models.
Zoom addresses these challenges by offering an end-to-end capability for both employee experience (EX) and customer experience (CX) through its cloud-based Zoom Platform. In 2022 alone, the company released over 1,500 new features and products, showcasing remarkable product innovation and expansion.

Arjun Chib, Managing Director, Standard Chartered Bank underscores that handling various tools within on-premises and multi-cloud systems poses several challenges for organisations seeking digital transformation and operational efficiency. These hurdles include integration complexities, data silos, security and compliance concerns, scalability and performance issues, operational complexity, vendor lock-in risks, and cost management challenges.
Integration challenges arise from the need to coordinate diverse systems with varying protocols and data formats, leading to project delays and increased costs.

At Standard Chartered Bank, the transition from manual to digital operations in a multi-cultural, multi-product setting is approached with a holistic strategy. Cultural sensitivity and inclusivity are prioritised to ensure that the diverse workforce is engaged and that all voices are heard, creating an atmosphere of trust and collaboration. Change management strategies, including clear communication, tailored training, and support systems, facilitate the transition and help employees adapt to the digital environment.
To optimise efficiency, the bank standardises technology where possible and employs data-driven decision-making to continually monitor and improve digital operations, Arjun elaborates. Feedback channels are established to ensure employees’ experiences and concerns are valued, allowing for necessary adjustments and improvements. This comprehensive approach ensures a seamless transition to digital operations while maximising efficiency within a diverse and dynamic work environment.
Bharat Bedi, Managing Director, Asia Pacific & Japan, SolarWinds acknowledges that in the rapidly evolving landscape of financial institutions, the dynamic interplay between team building and customer satisfaction underscores the importance of optimising the effective utilisation of observability and AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations).
The connection between customer satisfaction and a collaborative approach is of utmost importance, particularly in the context of proactive issue resolution. This relationship becomes evident when considering how teams, armed with real-time data and predictive analytics provided by observability and AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) tools, can identify and resolve potential problems before they escalate and negatively affect the customer experience.


By working together and leveraging these advanced tools, organisations can not only maintain high levels of customer satisfaction but also preemptively address issues, ensuring a smoother and more seamless experience for their customers.
Bharat believes this proactive approach not only mitigates downtime but also minimises service disruptions, fortifying customer satisfaction and trust. To sustain and fortify this customer-centric approach, financial institutions embed the customer perspective at the core of their decision-making processes, leveraging the insights gleaned from observability and AIOps data to optimise response times, minimise errors, and bolster service reliability.
“This unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction catalyses continuous improvement within financial institutions,” explains Bharat. “By actively addressing customer pain points and diligently making necessary enhancements, these institutions maintain a trajectory of elevating service quality, ultimately nurturing stronger, long-lasting customer relationships.”
To actualise this vision of customer excellence and operational efficiency, financial institutions can employ a set of strategic approaches when harnessing the potential of observability and AIOps within the realm of digital transformation.
The initial step is the alignment of these initiatives with customer-centric objectives, ensuring that technology improvements are intrinsically linked to customer needs and expectations. This involves leveraging observability to secure real-time insights into customer interactions and AIOps to proactively address issues affecting customers, with the overarching goal of enhancing the customer experience.
Bharat highlights that comprehensive data collection and analysis serve as the cornerstone for optimising operations, reducing downtime, and ensuring the delivery of a seamless customer experience. A cross-functional approach is essential to encourage collaboration between IT, operations, and customer support teams, facilitating the seamless sharing of insights and the prompt resolution of issues.
