Intermedia

MEETINGS
Velocity5.0

Unified communications platform with cloud business phone, video conferencing, contact center, and team chat.

Intermedia's feed is UCaaS category education with no product news in it.

ucaasccaasseo-contentchannel-marketingcustomer-service-ai
Current state
Every entry is a search-targeted explainer on contact-centre and unified-communications concepts: IVR versus conversational AI, when automation helps and when it hurts, what a CCaaS platform is, generative AI for customer service, email retention, predictive dialers. The posts follow a fixed template with a meta-description lede and a trailing attribution line, and they reference Intermedia products only as illustration. Nothing in the window reports a release.
Where it's heading
The AI topics keep drifting from definitional toward operational — from what generative AI for support is, to when a human should handle the contact instead, to choosing between IVR and conversational AI for a given call flow. That tracks where the category's buying conversation has moved rather than anything on Intermedia's roadmap. Between the AI posts sit compliance and channel topics, so the feed alternates between end-buyer education and reseller enablement.
Prediction
Expect continued twice-weekly explainers alternating between buyer education and channel-partner content. Because no release information reaches this feed, product movement at Intermedia will stay invisible here.
