Dialpad Inc., the industry leader in AI-powered communication and collaboration, announced an immersive meeting experience for the modern and hybrid workforce in Dialpad Meetings. As the working world emerges from the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, companies are adopting and adapting to a hybrid work environment. In a recent global survey conducted by Frost & Sullivan, 86% of organizations reported more than 25% of employees are working remotely in 2021, representing a considerable increase compared to pre-pandemic years. New enhancements to Dialpad Meetings, combined with the technology partnership of Dialpad and Poly, will transform the hybrid work environment and offer unparalleled quality in video and audio to support the future of business collaboration.

“The enterprise communications market has traditionally focused its attention on the carpeted office and knowledge worker segments which has led to office and frontline workers within the same organization frequently operating in silos. The COVID-19 pandemic, and the emergence of Delta and Omicron variants, have taught us how crucial it is for businesses to facilitate and actively enable effective communication links between all work groups,” said Elka Popova, Vice President and Senior Fellow, Information and Communications Technologies, Frost & Sullivan. “A highly collaborative workplace environment enables organizations to optimize business processes and better leverage diverse worker skill sets and expertise to increase overall quality, improve safety, enhance customer service, and boost competitive power.
