According to the President of NEC Enterprise Communications Tech, Ram Menghani, the workplace has transformed dramatically in the last decade. With the right tools, employees can communicate effectively, and remain productive from anywhere, at any time. However, it’s difficult to work with multiple tools at once. The UNIVERGE BLUE EXTEND integration platform supports businesses in taking advantage of immersive collaboration and communication functionalities within everyday applications.
