TeliaSonera has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with PGi, a global provider of virtual meetings. The collaboration will give TeliaSonera's corporate and consumer customers in the Nordics and Baltics a new experience of virtual meetings and other cloud-based collaboration solutions.
Within the framework of the multi-year agreement, TeliaSonera will be able to offer all of PGi's solutions, including: iMeet®, a cloud-based video conferencing solution from PGi that makes it possible to arrange personal meetings with up to 15 participants online - regardless of where you are, time of 24/7 or whether you use a regular computer, a tablet computer or another mobile device - and GlobalMeet® Audio, an advanced teleconferencing solution from PGi.
"We know that our customers need simple, efficient and environmentally friendly communication solutions. We believe the answer is user-friendly cloud applications like iMeet. It will be a welcome addition to our already large range of meeting and collaboration services, especially for small and medium-sized companies that want to avoid investing in complex solutions," says Thomas Johansson, head of B2B products at TeliaSonera.
Boland Jones, PGi's founder, chairman and CEO, comments: "For us, the collaboration with TeliaSonera is extremely exciting. One of PGi's most important goals is to develop distribution channels that allow new customers worldwide to get to know our innovative solutions for virtual meetings. TeliaSonera is therefore a perfect distribution and business partner for us thanks to its extensive industry experience and reach in the growing market in the Nordics and Baltics."
TeliaSonera will later in the year launch iMeet in Sweden as the first market.
