Kristian McCann speaks with Avi Pardo, Co-founder and CBO at LeapXpert, to unpack why messaging governance has become one of the most urgent issues in public sector UC.

Consumer messaging tools weren’t built for compliance — but that hasn’t stopped government employees from using them every day. In this video, Avi Pardo explains why now is the time for IT and UC leaders to get ahead of the governance gap.

Key discussion points:

Why messaging apps like WhatsApp and Signal have become the public sector’s biggest governance blind spot — and how it happened.
The critical role of compliant communication under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the risks of leaving messages unrecorded.
Common architectural mistakes UC and IT leaders make when trying to block or control consumer messaging.
How Microsoft Teams integrations can bridge the gap between consumer convenience and enterprise-grade compliance.
Why modern governance technology can now deliver control without adding friction for employees or external parties.
