Luiz Domingos has spent 25 years watching enterprise communications evolve, from IP telephony to cloud to AI, and his assessment of where things stand now is unusually concrete. Companies have moved past the strategy deck phase. AI is being embedded directly into contact centers, compliance workflows, and communication pipelines, and the question executives are asking has shifted from "which model is smartest" to "which deployment reduces friction and stays compliant." Domingos is direct about what gets in the way: you cannot pour AI into a legacy architecture and expect transformation, and cloud-only AI doesn't solve the latency or data sovereignty problems that regulated industries face every day. In this conversation with Craig Smith, Domingos covers the practical mechanics of how Mitel is applying AI across its portfolio, from real-time transcription and sentiment analytics in contact centers, to agentic workflows that turn conversations into automated tickets and follow-ups. He draws a clear line between AI agents (which give recommendations) and agentic AI (which takes actions), a distinction the market consistently confuses. He also makes a prediction worth noting: within five years, voice will replace the traditional app interface as the primary way people interact with enterprise AI systems. For any CIO or CTO trying to move from experimentation to real ROI, his framework - start with workflow friction, not pilots - is the most actionable takeaway in the episode.
