This is the time of year we all start making resolutions and predictions for the new year ahead. One of my fellow executives here at Microsoft asked me to respond to the following question: “If I could recommend 3 actions for health organizations to undertake in 2016, what would they be, and why?” Of course it is hard to come up with a list of just three things to do.

There are even cloud-based solutions to help migrate your old PBX infrastructure to a cloud services model. No more excuses. It’s time to get modern.
