[July 09, 2014] Easynet and Acano Collaborate, Enhance Video Conferencing Solution [Health & Beauty Close - Up] Tweet (Health & Beauty Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Businesses looking to improve collaboration and accelerate decision-making now have even greater choice, as Easynet reported a host of exciting new features added to its Managed Video Collaboration (MVC) solution. In a media release, the companies said that new features include Easynet Virtual Rooms, a virtual meeting room where employees, customers and partners can join a conversation from any device or technology. New content sharing, presence and instant messaging tools have been added, as well as new support and security options. Also available is WebRTC integration, which enables voice, video and content sharing from a user's browser. According to the companies, the latest evolution of Easynet MVC, powered by Acano, integrates different platforms and devices, uniting audio, video and web technologies to create a virtual meeting experience from anywhere, at any time, on any device. Because the service can integrate with businesses' existing video conferencing solutions, it helps businesses protect their existing assets and drives a return on investment. The new features expand Easynet's Managed Video Collaboration portfolio, which is built on flexibility and is hosted in the Easynet cloud. Philip Grannum, Easynet's Managing Director of Cloud, Hosting & UC Services said, "With Gartner forecasting that 38 percent of businesses will stop providing employees with devices by 2016*, organisations run the risk of operating a disjointed business and isolating staff unless they help teams to collaborate in the way they choose, from wherever they are, using their own devices". He continued, "The new features we've added to Easynet MVC deliver next- generation unified communications, increasing choice, enhancing mobility, accelerating ROI and ultimately improving enterprise performance. Now it's not just BYOD, it's Select Your Own Device, as we give businesses the ultimate flexibility in video and audio collaboration". Larry Satterfield, Global Vice President of Sales, Acano, said, "Acano's approach is that 'everyone's invited' to join a conversation, and should be able to do it in any way they choose. Easynet provides the Acano platform along with hosting and customer service in a flexible and innovative package. Easynet Managed Video Collaboration delivers a great end user experience." Easynet is a global managed service provider.
