Ringio "A Bit Surprised" by End User App Demand
No matter how experienced you might be in the broader unified communications, customers still can surprise you, leading to a "why didn't I think of that?" moment. That's what Michael Zirngibl, Ringio co-founder, recently discovered.
Ringio recently found customers asking for, and so built, a calling center function for small businesses operating in several product lines or spaces, but with a single staff. Basically, Ringio sorts inbound calls according to those lines of business, providing screen pops to staff about which business an inbound call is related to.
The other angle is the integration of customer relationship management features with the screen pops, so an organization call agent knows a bit about call history, and what that particular caller might have been asking for help with, on previous calls.
The same sort of feature allows businesses to track leads as well.
"You don't always know what end users want," says Zirngibl.

Video and Social Drive Online Display Advertising's Growth in U.K. | ClickZ
Following a year-over-year decline during the first half of 2009, spending on Internet display advertising grew by 6.3 percent in the U.K. market during the first six months of 2010, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau U.K.
The report, collated in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers, attributed the growth to increased investment in search advertising - which grew 8.9 percent - but also to a rebounding display ad market, which grew by 6.3 percent.
According to the report, spending on pre- and post-roll video advertising drove much of that growth, increasing 82 percent, year-over-year. Meanwhile, advertising on social media sites also contributed to the growth, the IAB said, accounting for 13 percent of all online display ads between January and June.
Overall, online ad spend for the same period grew 10 percent, year-over-year, reaching a total of 1.97 billion ($3.1 billion.)
