The CK Daily – Innovation, Competition, and Perspective
Happy Monday!
Last week was a busy one. Craig, Estela, and I attended Shoptalk Spring in Las Vegas. We met a lot of great vendors and had some really good conversations. The clear theme across the entire show was AI and how it’s being used in just about every part of the business. It’s interesting to see how quickly things are evolving in that space.
We also managed to enjoy some great meals along the way and averaged around 20,000 steps a day, so it was definitely not a relaxing trip.
Right before heading out, I competed in another Pokémon tournament and made top 8 again, so the week started off on a strong note.
While we were there, we took some time to visit the Hoover Dam. It was incredible to see in person. The scale, the design, and the engineering behind it are hard to wrap your head around, especially knowing it was built without modern computers. It really puts things into perspective.
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!

Learning Center Article – 3PCC vs Enterprise Firmware in Cisco IP Phones
When it comes to Cisco IP phones, you have a lot of options, but what are they really doing for you? In some cases, the model of the phone dictates who actually controls a call when you use the phone.
This boils down to the firmware on the phone and what it supports. With Cisco phones, most support Cisco-made enterprise firmware. That’s simple enough, but sometimes, you need to work with a third-party call controller. In that case, Cisco 3PCC phones might be the better option.
