Verizon Business and CareAR, a Xerox Company, announced a strategic partnership to transform the service and customer experience CareAR delivers. Combining Verizon’s 4G, 5G networks, and near real-time compute technology with CareAR’s augmented reality and AI-based platform, technicians can remotely and proactively resolve service issues faster, smarter and more safely, leading to a more efficient customer experience.

“We’ve seen a dramatic shift in the global workforce.

To stay competitive and attract top talent, businesses need to have a sound digital transformation agenda, leveraging the latest technology and solutions to meet the needs of the evolving global workforce.

CareAR will be able to deliver real-time support and expert-guided troubleshooting solutions across its portfolio of products and services, creating a new standard of self-service capabilities and personalized “how-to” information for customers and field technicians.
