New Advanced Technology Center deploys
Oblong Mezzanine™ on Cisco Webex Platform to show transformative
power of multi-site, multi-stream content collaboration
Oblong, Inc. (NYSE American: OBLG) ("Oblong" or the "Company"),
the award-winning maker of multi-stream collaboration solutions
announced the inclusion of its flagship Mezzanine solution at World
Wide Technology (WWT)’s global headquarters in St. Louis.
As a market-leading technology solution provider and longtime
top Cisco partner, WWT develops enterprise meeting solutions for
its global customers while keeping an eye out for emerging products
and platforms that maximize teamwork and faster decision-making,
both in the room and across the globe.
“Our customers are working with ever increasing amounts of data,
and the combination of Mezzanine and Webex is undoubtedly the best
solution on the market, bringing multi-share collaboration
capabilities and seamless interaction with multiple content streams
to the Webex Platform,” said Brandon Echele, Practice Manager,
Calling and Meetings, WWT. “We love providing practical innovations
to our customers and Mezzanine and Webex is a unique combination
that improves workflow and allows them to make better business
decisions faster.”
WWT installed the Mezzanine and Webex solution in its Advanced
Technology Center (ATC). The ATC is the epicenter for customer
engineering teams seeking resources, guidance, and next-gen
collaboration tools. By showcasing the combination of Mezzanine and
Webex in its testing lab, WWT offers customers a unique
knowledge-sharing experience unlike anything on the market.
Here, customers can experience transformative collaboration by
interacting directly with content from different locations at the
same time while displaying it side-by-side across multiple surfaces
for rapid comparison and cross-reference. The use of multiple
displays provides a unique canvas for spreading data sources
literally across a room so users can quickly contextualize
problems, compare and contrast data or content, and understand the
complete picture of any business challenge. Users connected over
Cisco videoconferencing can participate in collaboration sessions,
seeing all the data and contributing their own content to help in
problem-solving, just as if they were in the room.
With its broad global customer base and product depth in digital
transformation, WWT makes an ideal partner and growth driver for
Oblong. Oblong CEO Pete Holst commented, “WWT’s deployment of
Mezzanine in their new, state-of-the-art headquarters, provides
customers another venue to experience a unique combination of video
conferencing and multi-share collaboration.”
“Offering innovative, forward-thinking solutions like those
offered by the combination of Mezzanine and Webex is key to solving
our customers’ complex collaboration challenges,” said Echele.
Mezzanine is off a strong start at WWT having recently completed
an initial deployment to a Fortune 500 domestic insurance company,
proving that demand for advanced collaboration capabilities is
becoming critical for leading organizations.
