GENBAND Offers Mobile Support for SAP Hybris Extensions
Mobile devices continue to transform the workplace as more companies and employees seek to improve efficiency and achieve greater flexibility at work.
In fact, a 2016 poll of 259 IT professionals by Tech Pro Research reveals that the use of mobile device at work is indeed widespread, with 47% of respondents saying 76-100% of their workforce have access to mobile devices in the workplace. The popularity of mobile technology, which has no doubt streamlined workflow and communication processes, has led GENBAND, the global leader in real-time communication solutions, to offer mobile support for its application extensions available on Hybris Extend Marketplace.
The latest update, which was announced last week, allows users of the SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer (a cloud-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software) and SAP Hybris Commerce solutions (an omnichannel B2B and B2C commerce software) to access embedded, advanced real-time communications features from their mobile device. This lets users communicate and collaborate with colleagues and clients via chat, voice, video, and screen sharing remotely.
Real-time Communications that Fit Business Needs
Paul Pluschkell, Executive Vice President at GENBAND and Co-Founder & CEO of Kandy, GENBAND’s award-winning Communications Platform as-a-Service (CPaaS), said their move to take their app extensions mobile is due to the increasing importance of mobile to today’s businesses.
“Mobile is crucial to business today, and the iPad has evolved into a powerful business tool,” says Pluschkell. “With more than 20 new companies activated in the last quarter, we’re confident that customers who leverage our extensions for SAP Hybris solutions for real-time communications capabilities will deliver a surge of innovative business outcomes,” he added.
