Apple Threatens to Dominate the Chat-for-Commerce Space

July 11, 2017

Toronto, ON — July 11, 2017 — Fonolo, the leader in cloud-based call-back solutions for the contact center, is pleased to announce the guest panelists for this month’s Google Hangout, “Can Apple Dominate the Chat-for-Commerce Space?” The discussion will take place on Thursday, July 20th, 2017 at 2:00 PM ET and will broadcast on YouTube Live.

According to Forbes, 1.6 billion people used mobile messaging apps last year, and that number is expected to reach 2 billion people, or 80% of all smartphone users, in 2018.

“Everyone is so busy debating whether or not chatbots are a threat to human agents, so much so that they’re missing the real narrative,” said Shai Berger, CEO, Fonolo. “Now that Apple has entered the race to become a business communications platform, the real question is which messaging platform will rule the chat-for-commerce space?”

In Fonolo’s next live discussion, these five leading experts will give their take on the state of messaging platforms, and the choice businesses now face:

  • Tobias Goebel, Aspect, Director of Emerging Technologies – @tpgoebel
  • Max Ball, RingCentral, Director of Product Marketing – @jmaxball
  • Dan Miller, Opus Research, Lead Analyst and Founder – @dnm54
  • Thomas Howe, Ten Digit Communications, CTO – @howethomas
  • Shai Berger, Fonolo, CEO – @shaiberger
