“As we continue to define the evolving digital workplace, a notable missing piece has been the spoken watercooler conversations and quick verbal conversations that occur naturally in physical offices. Dialpad Channels provides a unique approach to recreating those moments in distributed environments”

“The launch of Dialpad Channels makes it easy for co-workers to communicate in ways they normally would in person, such as holding office hours, ‘taking conversations offline,’ or the organic chats co-workers have between meetings,” said Brian Peterson, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Dialpad. “Dialpad is the only company to offer audio functionality within topic-based messaging channels for both UCaaS and CCaaS, providing a lightweight solution to reduce the abundance of 30-minute meetings with quick, 5-minute audio conversations. Dialpad Channels also reduces app overload as employees continue working remotely and want to communicate using a variety of methods.”

The rapid shift to remote working brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic forced organizations worldwide to adapt quickly and adopt new ways of working. Throughout 2020, business needs evolved at a never-seen-before pace, requiring new solutions as quickly as new problems arose. Dialpad launches Dialpad Channels as an answer to both new and old communication needs made more complicated by the new normal of the hybrid workplace era.

“As we continue to define the evolving digital workplace, a notable missing piece has been the spoken watercooler conversations and quick verbal conversations that occur naturally in physical offices. Dialpad Channels provides a unique approach to recreating those moments in distributed environments,” said Dave Michels, Principal Analyst at TalkingPointz. “This new release is a radical, yet natural product evolution for Dialpad, which has extensive experience developing high-quality, reliable voice solutions.”
