Nigel Dunn, Managing Director EMEA North, says:
“We have really diversified our channel this year and have welcomed new software partners into the Jabra family. By collaborating with the likes of Code Software, Circleloop and Fitts, who join us at our UKI Partner Conference for the first time, we have continued to improve our market-leading product offering and software interoperability .
The launch of PanaCast, for example, has been one of our key focuses this year and a driving force behind us branching out to new partners.”
Jabra launched PanaCast, the world’s first intelligent 180 Panoramic-4K plug-and-play solution, in August and the solution was one of the highlights of the conference this year. Guests learnt more about the Panacast solution and the opportunities the huddle room provides the channel in a presentation by Aurangzeb Khan, Jabra SVP Video Collaboration.
“For us, it’s more important to talk about solutions rather than products. To successfully do that, both Jabra and our partners must understand real-life business challenges being faced daily and most importantly, understand how these can be solved.” Dunn continued.
“We’d like to thank every partner who attended our conference this year and congratulate the award winners who have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to understanding businesses’ sound and video pain points. We look forward to seeing even greater achievements next year.”
