          hether it’s a company-wide town hall
        
        
          meeting or an everyday team meet-
        
        
          ing with participants around the world,
        
        
          Arkadin is having a revolutionary impact on
        
        
          the way people work and communicate in
        
        
          a universe that’s growing smaller every
        
        
          day.
        
        
          There’s no question that when it comes
        
        
          to communication and collaboration, geo-
        
        
          graphical boundaries are rapidly disappear-
        
        
          ing. A corporate head office can have em-
        
        
          ployees in multiple countries and rarely, if
        
        
          ever, meet in person thanks to the evolving
        
        
          world of Unified Communications and Col-
        
        
          laboration technologies that enable real
        
        
          time sharing of information. Arkadin’s tech-
        
        
          nology is bringing people together in ways
        
        
          that ensure success while redefining where
        
        
          and how communication happens.
        
        
          With a global network of 53 offices in more
        
        
          than 30 countries, Arkadin is one of today’s
        
        
          largest and fastest growing collaboration
        
        
          service providers. For those who have ever
        
        
          been part of a web-based conference call
        
        
          or video conference, or tried to share a
        
        
          presentation and experienced any of the
        
        
          technical issues that can derail an online
        
        
          meeting, Arkadin is the company that
        
        
          makes those challenges a thing of the past.
        
        
          And they make it easy. Users can access
        
        
          their communications applications from
        
        
          their desktops or mobile devices using just
        
        
          one interface – whether it’s video
        
        
          conferencing, regular phone calling or
        
        
          sending an instant  message to a co-
        
        
          worker. Arkadin’s Unified Communications
        
        
          (UC) services simplify the process so clients
        
        
          can easily collaborate on projects with
        
        
          colleagues, customers, vendors and
        
        
          investors, unhampered by distance.
        
        
          It all began in 2001 when Arkadin was
        
        
          launched in Paris, France as an audio con-
        
        
          ferencing provider. Over the following years,
        
        
          the company’s range of services evolved to
        
        
          include a full suite of cloud-based web col-
        
        
          laboration and video conferencing services
        
        
          that allow instant access to hundreds of
        
        
          people all at once for real time and on
        
        
          demand communications.
