When it comes to ITEXPO -set to run January 27 - 29 at the Miami Beach Convention Center-there are a variety of reasons that immediately leap to mind as to why it's a good idea to attend. The product exhibitions often do the job for many, and those still in doubt are often swayed by the wide array of keynote speeches providing insight on various technology markets. But one point that comes in as an afterthought for some is networking opportunities, the ability to connect with businesses in the field. Networking is about to be a point driven home thanks to Birch Communications, who's heading to ITEXPO 2015 with its eye open for new channel partners.

While the rest of the world is busy counting down the hours left until 2015, the tech sector is starting off 2015 with ITEXPO in Miami, happening in just 26 days. 2014 saw a lot happening in cloud communications, WebRTC, IP communications and beyond, and ITEXPO Miami promises to ring in the new year covering all of that and more. From content marketing to M2M, attendees will experience what the industry has to offer all in one place.

2014 was a busy year in the tech space, from debates over net neutrality, to innovation in business communications and WebRTC. VP of Operations for Teliax, a global leader in voice solutions and services, Kerry Garrison took some time to share his take with TMC on the year that was, and expectations for the year to come. Hot off the heels of winning a best in show award at ITEXPO Las Vegas 2014, Teliax will be joining ITEXPO January 27-30 in Miami, Florida to show off its award-winning IVY Platform.

Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP for short, has become a force to be reckoned with in the technology world, and with good reason: It provides reliable, cheap (or free) calling for homes and businesses alike. But it wasn't always that way, so it's fitting that those with the vision and foresight to see what it could provide will be sharing their insights at this week's ITEXPO show in Miami.

Communication in any business is an important ingredient to success; today's fast-paced, anytime-anywhere world makes it is even more vital. As businesses of all shapes and sizes seek the best solution to meet need a great place to start is ITEXPO Miami. And, speaking at the Ingate SIP Trunking, UC and WebRTC Seminars at ITEXPO is CEO of eTechHelp Rich Garboski who was nice enough to share some time and thoughts with TMC-possibly a preview of what's to come in Miami.

As the eastern seaboard braces for another blizzard, there is a flurry of activity happening in sunny Miami. Collocated with the business technology event ITEXPO, M2M Evolution Conference & Expo, will be taking place January 27-30 covering all things relevant to M2M, the Internet of Things and POS industries and today announced a special addition to its agenda.

By Laura Stotler, TMCnet Contributing Editor
The unified communications (UC) world has undergone many changes this year, and one of the most important was Microsoft's decision last month to transition its Lync platform to Skype for Business. The progression is a logical one since the company's acquisition of Skype, but still has a number of ramifications for customers using or transitioning to Lync/Skype. One of the many benefits of this UC platform, however, is the associated service providers that specialize in the offering and tailor their services accordingly.
