ALSO : has added Videonor to its portfolio of manufacturers

As of August 2017, ALSO Schweiz is expanding its portfolio to include products from the manufacturer Videonor, making it the exclusive distributor on the Swiss market.

The extensively lingering misconception that professional video collaboration tools require companies to invest heavily in equipment is a thing of the past. Videonor has devoted its energies to making video conferences in the business environment as common and as much of an integral part of our everyday life as phone calls. And this is precisely why the manufacturing firm, which was founded in 2010 in Måløy (Norway), has developed a wide variety of affordable and easy-to-use solutions.

The products are offered at fixed rates, following the Software as a Service principle. The customer can add licences or customise packages to suit their changing circumstances and needs. The virtual meeting rooms are designed to give customers, employees and partners the feeling that they are physically present at a meeting in the company office, which is why customised branding is provided in the virtual rooms.

'Videonor's cloud-based, forward-looking solutions complement our portfolio very well, particularly in the Microsoft Skype for Business environment,' says Erich Steiner, Head of Division Solutions and Member of the ALSO Schweiz AG Executive Board. 'The products can be seamlessly integrated in the existing Office 365 environment and provide a higher quality of video and audio services. The user is not affected by the implementation process at all and can use the functions and tools they are already familiar with to communicate under their existing name.'

Videonor helps customers in more than 50 countries to overcome everyday challenges with video conference solutions. Global companies, start-ups, academic institutions and national sports teams have turned to Videonor for a more effective and, at the same time, more personal way of communicating. With offices in Norway, Sweden and the USA, the company practises what it preaches to its customers: global, yet personal, face-to-face collaboration that extends beyond office walls, national borders and time zones.
