PGi, a business communications provider, has rolled out several new GlobalMeet Collaboration enhancements designed to improve how people, teams and enterprises productively connect and collaborate.

Since shelter in place orders began, GlobalMeet Collaboration has seen a 700% surge in webcam usage for virtual meetings. People are working from home and using video more than ever before to make connections and feel productive, and GlobalMeet Collaboration’s video enhancements deliver against user trends.

“Our recent survey data identified several remote work trends before the COVID-19 outbreak,” said Mark Roberts, CMO, PGi. “Working remote was one of the most important activities identified across all working generations. Video conferencing technology is now the norm for nearly every business and consumer working through remote work, virtual health appointments and homeschooling requirements. We’re at a turning point and we will see remote work become a permanent choice for those that never even entertained the option before the pandemic.”
