What’s new at VQ?
Dispelling the myth – On-premise is dying
Cloud platforms may dominate the headlines, but the reality is very different – on-premise video conferencing is far from dead. In fact, it’s the preferred choice for security-conscious organisations worldwide.
Our newest blog breaks down the myth that self-hosted solutions are outdated, using deep insights from credible industry data and Cisco’s continued investment in Cisco Meeting Server.
This blog kicks off a new VQ blog series that will tackle many common myths, including the idea that on-prem lacks features or that it’s only suitable for massive enterprises. Stay tuned for more soon and feel free to share your myths with us.
Inside VQ
Upcoming service support
Team spirit is the glue that holds VQ together and we have an upcoming company day on June 4 and June 5. As a business with a progressive work-from-anywhere policy, this is an excellent chance for our team to reconnect in person and strengthen the bonds that power our innovative platform.
As a result of this team time, we will have a reduced support service across this two-day period with our office and support desk closed.
Please do not change or upgrade your production services during this period.
If you have a system down outage or emergency, please contact support@vqcomms.com or call our “Out of Hours Support” line where we will triage the problem and, if required, escalate the issue.
Out of Hours Support Number: +44 1249 470 146
