How is Artificial Intelligence moving from a "cool concept" to an operational game-changer in telecommunications? Live from IT Partners 2026, Bertrand Pourcelot (Managing Director at Enreach for Service Providers) and Pierre Garcia (Founder of Be One) discuss the "breaking point" in telecom history. We are no longer just talking about making calls; we are talking about Agentic AI—systems capable of answering, understanding, and acting autonomously to revolutionize the customer experience.
For decades, voice communication was a separate silo of information, often lost once the hang-up occurred. Today, the revolution lies in the fact that voice is data.
By applying AI to voice, businesses can now index, search, and exploit every interaction. This transformation turns a simple phone call into a goldmine of insights, allowing companies to improve efficiency and understand their customers better than ever before.
The Enreach vision focuses on two distinct but complementary paths for AI in the workplace:
The Augmented Human: AI that acts as a co-pilot, providing real-time information and tools to help employees perform better and faster.
Agentic AI (AI-First): Autonomous agents capable of handling time-consuming, repetitive tasks—such as checking opening hours, providing pricing, or duplicating documents—without human intervention.
These agents operate 24/7 in multiple languages, ensuring that no customer is ever left waiting, while freeing up human staff for high-value, complex interactions.
While many are impressed by "Proof of Concepts" (POCs) that feel like magic, the real challenge in 2026 is scaling.
Through the partnership between Enreach (the software enabler) and its ecosystem of integrators (the boots on the ground), businesses are moving past the experimental phase. Implementing AI requires more than just technology; it requires deep field expertise to ensure that AI "prompts" are precise and directives are clear. As Pierre Garcia notes, "AI is like a human; without a clear process, the result will be poor."
Despite the massive shift toward automation, the human element remains the "heart" of the value chain. Enreach’s strategy is not to replace humans, but to "factor" them into a more efficient system.
By automating the "chronophagous" (time-consuming) tasks, businesses can finally allow their teams to focus on what they do best: building relationships and solving complex problems.
Operational Reality: AI is now production-ready for SMEs, not just large enterprises.
Efficiency Gains: Handle 24/7 inquiries in any language autonomously.
The Ecosystem Advantage: Enreach provides the platform; partners provide the vertical field expertise.
Strategic Shift: Moving from selling infrastructure to selling intelligent, integrated services.

What is Enreach UP exactly? Enreach UP is a comprehensive unified communications and contact platform designed specifically for service providers, MSPs, and integrators. It combines business telephony, native fixed-mobile convergence (FMC), and advanced AI capabilities into a single, white-label solution.
How does "Customizable by Design" benefit my business? Unlike rigid, pre-packaged solutions, Enreach UP is built on an API-first architecture. This allows you to customize the user interface, integrate specific business workflows (like CRM or ERP), and build unique vertical solutions that differentiate you from the competition and increase your ARPU.
Does Enreach UP support native Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC)? Yes. Enreach UP provides a true "Mobile-First" experience. It integrates mobile devices directly into the corporate phone system, allowing users to use professional features (short numbers, call recording, status management) natively on their smartphones without relying solely on data-heavy VoIP apps.
How is AI integrated into the platform? Our platform features "Amy," an agentic AI assistant. It provides operational value through real-time transcription, sentiment analysis, call screening, and automated summaries. These features turn voice interactions into structured, actionable data for your customers' CRMs.
What are the deployment options for partners? We offer maximum flexibility. You can choose to host and manage the Enreach UP software within your own infrastructure (standard hosted model) or opt for our "Platform as a Service" (EUPCloud) where Enreach manages the hosting and maintenance for you.
Is Microsoft Teams integration available? Absolutely. Enreach UP includes a powerful connector for Microsoft Teams, allowing your customers to use Teams as their primary front-end while benefiting from Enreach’s robust carrier-grade telephony features and mobile convergence.

At Enreach Partner event 2026 in Paris, Enreach for Service Providers unveiled version 3.0 of its communications platform, introducing AI-powered call management and paving the way for more intelligent, automated customer interactions.
Eighty percent of people don't answer calls from numbers they don't recognise (Pew Research). For calls carrying a "Spam Likely" label, the answer rate drops into the single digits the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) puts it at roughly 9%.
The industry treats regulatory complexity as a tax on growth — a cost to minimise, delay, or push onto whichever partner will absorb it most cheaply. That instinct is backwards, and it's costing operators deals they should be winning.
