Ooredoo has today launched Ooredoo Conferencing, an advanced solution that provides a complete set of communication and collaboration tools for SME and Enterprise businesses. As part of its strategy to become the leading ICT provider in Qatar and the region, Ooredoo continues to grow its portfolio of solutions for businesses, providing a “one-stop-shop” for companies looking for advanced communication services.
Ooredoo Conferencing, which is powered by Cisco WebEx, is the first conferencing solution in Qatar to provide an all-inclusive set of collaboration and communication tools that can be accessed anywhere through any device. Globally, the Cisco WebEx Conference service hosts more than 3 billion meeting minutes per month. In Qatar, the service is being made available in specially-designed versions for small and medium businesses and for large enterprises.
YousufAbdulla Al Kubaisi, Chief Operating Officer, Ooredoo Qatar, said: “Collaboration services are among the most in-demand services for businesses today, as companies look to reduce travel time and costs, and bring their experts together to solve key problems. Ooredoo Conferencing will enable companies in Qatar to collaborate without boundaries with employees, suppliers and partners around the world.” Ooredoo Conferencing provides a range of collaboration services in one package, including world-class video conferencing, integrated desktop sharing, document sharing, recording and playback facilities. The solutions can be provided over the Cloud or through infrastructure located on the company’s premises, delivering total security and control over the conferences.
Mohammad Hammoudi, General Manager of Cisco Qatar, commented: “Today’s global businesses require faster, more efficient ways to communicate and collaborate with their distributed workforce, worldwide customers, and remote offices. New pressures on organisations, heightened by a challenging global economic environment, are making collaboration more important than ever, Cisco WebEx unlocks infinite opportunities for organisations and businesses through technology that has the power to reach people, share information, and keep diverse teams connected, without fail, anytime, anywhere, on any platform, and on any device.”
To enable companies of all sizes to access the power of collaboration, Ooredoo is offering two main service options. The first is the Meeting Center service, which enables companies to create an online meeting for conferences and share content on any device or system. Monthly billing and a tiered-pricing scheme, based on the number of hosts a company expects or the number of participants they estimate will take part in concurrent conferencing sessions, provides additional flexibility and makes it very cost effective
Ooredoo is also launching an Enterprise Edition, for Qatar’s leading and largest companies, providing a portfolio of conferencing services including Meeting Center; Training Center (to deliver interactive e-learning); Event Center (to host events and webinars); and Support Center (to deliver fast and personalised customer service & support).
