Redefining the workplace experience – safe, sustainable, automated, and engaging
A new world of flexible working is redefining how we work, collaborate, and communicate. Hybrid working is taking the place of the traditional office and cloud-based services are lowering thresholds for organizations to adopt the latest solutions that enable them to become more agile and efficient.

Employees expect flexibility and choice of workplace, and enterprises have a unique opportunity to embrace the digital transformation to enhance organizational resilience, workforce well-being, convenience, and productivity, by creating safer, more sustainable, more automated, and engaging environments for individuals and teams. Smart enterprises adopt digital workspace strategies to create such environments.

With the introduction of UNIVERGE BLUE cloud-based communications services in 2020, NEC has already provided customers with fully integrated Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) and Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) solutions, providing telephony, collaboration, conferencing, webinars, file sharing/backup, security and more within a single solution.

“Now, with the introduction of five powerful Workplace Management solutions that are dynamically delivered from the cloud, on-premises or hybrid, the workplace is transformed for a safe return to the office that accommodates for a flexible and right-sized environment,” said Ram Menghani, President of Product Development for NEC Enterprise Communications Technologies.
