Muscat: Ooredoo Oman’s business customers can now stay continually connected with geographically dispersed audiences, using Ooredoo’s conferencing services — the company’s first cloud-based virtual collaboration solution.
The new service provides users in Oman with an unmatched online meeting experience through high- quality audio and high definition video capabilities all on a safe and secure platform, said a press release.
The conferencing service offers small to large businesses the freedom and flexibility to establish a telepresence to allow them to benefit from direct interactions with partners, clients, decision makers, and employees, thus eliminating costly travel. Offering a broad range of voice, web and video conferencing features, the cost-efficient service can be used on various platforms.
“Hosted communications is one of the fastest growing technologies, dramatically changing the way companies do business,” said Said Al Shanfari, director of business marketing at Ooredoo.
“Staying connected is an essential part of modern business life, which is why we launched a service that delivers a consistent globally-connected experience to start-ups and large corporations alike, significantly reducing travel time and costs. This value added service can boost productivity across the board with enhanced, real time collaboration aligning local, regional, stakeholders anytime and anywhere.”
“In times of disruptive innovation, value is migrating rapidly from conventional telecom services to hosted collaboration and cloud based services. In order to keep abreast with the global trends and standards, we are glad to introduce our first cloud-based business collaboration service in Oman.”
Audio conferencing with this service is accessible through mobile and fixed telephone lines, while video conferencing is accessible over the internet.
