In my expert commentary for Funkschau—both online and in the print edition—I explain why organizations should approach the transition from long-established, legacy communication systems to modern, cloud-based online tools as a stepwise revolution rather than a slow, drawn-out evolution.
The point I make is simple: traditional communication infrastructures, often grown organically over decades, are deeply embedded in many companies. They can’t be ripped out overnight—but neither should they be left untouched until they collapse under their own complexity. A gradual, planned migration allows companies to modernize piece by piece, reducing risk while still reaping the advantages of flexibility, scalability, and collaboration that cloud services offer.
This isn’t about chasing buzzwords—it’s about ensuring that employees have the tools they need to work effectively, wherever they are, while IT gains more manageable, cost-efficient systems.
The future of communication is not local PBXs and patchwork integrations. It’s cloud platforms that evolve continuously and adapt quickly. The challenge is guiding organizations through that shift—not by waiting passively for change to trickle in, but by actively designing the step-by-step revolution that gets them there.
