To kick off our first ever INNOVATE Digital Series session, James Brown, CEO of Smart Communications, shares his thoughts on why now (more than ever before!) is the time to reimagine customer conversations in order to deliver exceptional digital experiences. Additionally, Simon Tindal, CTO of Smart Communications, highlights some important recent enhancements and unveils roadmap plans, all designed to make this vision a reality.

Our four-part digital series is now available on demand!
Today, more than ever the most successful companies are those who are embracing digital transformation and focusing on delivering exceptional customer experiences that are timely, personal, relevant and digital-first. Although we wished we could have met in person this year for INNOVATE 2020, we were grateful we could shift quickly to the INNOVATE Digital Series.
