Hang Up on the Past: The Future of Business Communications is an exclusive business telecoms event for Team Metalogic Partners hosted at Team Metalogic Ltd in Newport on 12 November 2026. Entry to this session run by Various is free.
An event exclusively run for Team Metalogic Partners on the future of business telecoms.
Old-school phone systems are being switched off, whether businesses are ready or not. The UK's PSTN and ISDN network is being retired, and the businesses that treat this as "just a phone swap" are missing the bigger opportunity: modern communications platforms don't just replace a dial tone, they change how teams collaborate, how customers get served, and how much a business spends doing both.
Join Team Metalogic, alongside Webex solutions experts and our wholesale partner Gamma, for an exclusive round-table on the future of business telecoms. We'll go beyond the sales pitch and show what's actually possible with Webex Calling, Webex Suite, and Webex Vidcast, from cutting call costs and unifying scattered tools, to using async video for training and sales enablement in ways most businesses haven't even considered yet.
Whether you're facing the PSTN switch-off and weighing up your options, or already running Webex and wondering if you're using half of what you're paying for, this session is built to leave you with practical, immediate value.
What to Expect
In this interactive roundtable, we’ll explore changes impacting businesses who rely on telephony systems, including:
A straight answer on the PSTN switch-off — what's actually being retired, what you need in place, and by when. Presented by Gamma, our wholesale partner.
Webex Calling, explained properly — how cloud calling replaces your old phone system, integrates with what you already run, and where the real cost savings sit (beyond a like-for-like swap).
Webex Suite in practice — a live demo of meetings, messaging and collaboration as one platform instead of a stack of disconnected tools, including the features most businesses never find on their own.
Webex Vidcast — the one nobody's heard of — async video for training, onboarding and sales enablement. Likely the newest idea in the room.
An open round-table — bring your own questions and put them directly to Webex and Gamma solutions experts. If you're already on Webex, this is the "you're paying for this — here's what you're not using" session.
Time with the experts, one-to-one — refreshments and informal networking, plus an exclusive partner offer and free consultation to take away
This is Not death by slide deck but a round table format, practical takeaways, done by 10:30am.
Who Should Attend
This event is perfect for:
Businesses still on ISDN or a traditional PBX who know the switch-off is coming and want to weigh up the options before the deadline forces the decision.
Existing Webex customers who suspect they're using a fraction of what they're paying for — and want to fix that.
IT and operations leaders responsible for telephony, collaboration tooling or the contract renewal that's coming up.
Finance and commercial decision-makers who want to understand where comms spend is going and where it can be cut.
Business owners and MDs of SMEs running hybrid or distributed teams, where scattered tools are quietly costing time.
Anyone weighing up a comms provider change and wanting an honest, unhurried conversation rather than a sales pitch.
To be part of the conversation, register your attendance today.
