DOHA: Ooredoo, one of the region’s leading ICT providers, announced yesterday the launch of Cisco Webex Teams, an innovative solution, delivering new levels of business collaboration across the country.

As part of its partnership with Cisco, Ooredoo will be able to offer to its business customers a complete collaboration suite that enables teams to have online meetings; communicate by using advanced voice, video calling, and messaging; interact real-time through unique screens with white-board capabilities and share information, regardless of whether they are together or apart.

Cisco recently announced the convergence of Cisco Spark and Webex Platforms, which now allows continuous teamwork in one place, enabling collaboration across the globe.

Yousuf Abdulla Al Kubaisi, COO Ooredoo, said: “As Qatar’s organisations support mobile workforces and international collaboration, they need the secure space to host meetings and make decisions in real-time. Ooredoo, as a Cisco Cloud Collaboration Partner, will offer our business customers industry-leading Cisco Webex solutions running on Ooredoo Supernet, delivering new levels of business collaboration, agility, and competitiveness.”

Using Cisco Webex Teams, business customers can share their screens and white boards, and make decisions in real-time. Employees and clients can efficiently work together, using the latest technology to comment, share, or ask questions. On Cisco Webex Teams’ secure space, available on a wide range of mobile devices, users can instantly share meetings, files, and conversations.

Osama Al Zoubi, MEA CTO, Cisco, said: “Qatar’s organisations want collaboration experiences that make technology invisible and like to focus on human experience. Ooredoo, as a Cisco Cloud Collaboration Partner, will be able to offer Qatar’s organisations Cisco Webex Teams, which provide an affordable, intuitive, and secure space to deliver the efficient collaboration that Qatar’s organisations need.”

Building on Ooredoo’s success with Cisco’s Hosted Business Collaboration solutions, Ooredoo is strengthening its partnership with Cisco, offering the next-generation voice and collaboration solution that is based on Cisco Webex platform.

Business customers can leverage the Ooredoo Advantage, making Ooredoo “Best for Business”, thanks to its breadth and depth of talent, best fixed and mobile networks, broadest portfolio of ICT services and solutions, and trusted partner for 60 years.
