Next up, Arkadin, a NTT Communications (News - Alert) company, announced the launch of its new solution, Arkadin Vision, in Latin America. According to the announcement, Arkadin Vision is a digital meeting space that seamlessly connects audio, Web and video for a unified meeting experience. Given how disjointed meetings can be as presenters try to get everything in order, this will be a welcome change to operations. Full details are HERE.

Meanwhile, Evolve IP (News - Alert) announced this week that BCM One will begin offering the company’s complete suite of integrated cloud solutions. The technology solutions provider will now be offering Evolve IP’s disaster recovery; contact centers; unified communications/business collaboration, desktop services and infrastructure as a service.
