What Does the Rise of Digital Sovereignty Mean for UC Tech Dominance?

Digital sovereignty could reshape UC tech as France backs state platforms, challenging Microsoft, Zoom, Zoho, the Cloud Act and EU AI rul

Join host Kieran Devlin from UC Today for a new episode exploring The Rise of Digital Sovereignty and What It Means for UC Tech Dominance.

He’s joined by industry experts Jon Arnold (J. Arnold & Associates), Craig Durr (Chief Analyst), and Dom Black (Cavell Group).

Is Digital Sovereignty about to reshape the UC market? With France moving toward state-backed platforms and away from US tech giants like Microsoft and Zoom, could the era of the global UC platform be coming to an end?

The panel also dives into Zoho’s evolving SaaS strategy and shares key takeaways from ISE 2026.

In this discussion:

Is local hosting becoming a must-have?
With the US Cloud Act and EU AI regulations tightening, are organisations about to rethink where their data lives?

What is Zoho really building with its “App OS” vision?
And why is its approach starting to disrupt the SaaS and channel landscape?

Are meeting rooms now IT endpoints?
Following a record-breaking ISE, what does the rise of workplace experience platforms mean for the future of office tech?
