How Arkadin is Delivering Collaboration in the Digital Age
Agility has never been more important for organizations, especially given the changing landscape of business communications and available communication channels. Adapting to the ever-changing communications space and efficiently managing costs while monitoring customer behavior are all must-haves in order to stay competitive. But all too often, rigid and complex business processes and communication silos can reduce a company’s agility; and therefore, affect their competitiveness. To avoid this, organizations should not only streamline their business processes and upgrade their technologies, but they should also encourage and build a collaborative work culture that boosts innovation, drives productivity, and supports growth.
As a member of the NTT Communications Group and a market leader in cloud Unified Communications and Collaboration services, Arkadin provides organizations with the means to develop a collaborative, thriving work culture in the digital age with their latest offering, Arkadin Vision: an all-in-one audio, web, and video solution.
A Video-First Meeting Space
Launched in early June, Arkadin Vision enhances the collaboration experience of today’s modern, mobile workers. It is a digital meeting space that seamlessly combines audio, web and video functionality to connect teams--regardless of the location of its members or the device and platform they use. This allows companies and its mobile workers to convene and virtually collaborate from anywhere, anytime, to make critical business decisions without skipping a beat.
In a release, Arkadin Americas President Mark Alexander said that organizations looking to leverage their UC and video infrastructure investments and boost workforce agility will find Arkadin Vision highly attractive. “We are responding to customer needs for a simple unified solution that integrates web and video for highly mobile workforces that require more flexibility in how to collaborate,” said Alexander. “Arkadin Vision is purpose built to meet this need. In addition to workplace productivity and efficiency advantages, the affordable license-based model will deliver tangible bottom line benefits.”
Arkadin Vision is now available for organizations--from small businesses to large global enterprises--in Europe and North America and will be rolled out in Asia and Latin America later this year.
