(Nasdaq: RBBN), a global software leader in secure and intelligent cloud communications solutions, today announced the release of its cloud-based Work@Home offer, which delivers advanced remote working capabilities to enterprises and contact centers of any size.

"In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, companies must be empowered to shift their operations to alternate locations quickly and efficiently," said Sacha Gera, Senior Vice President, Cloud Products. "Our Kandy Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS)-based solutions enable companies to rapidly meet this need seamlessly and cost-effectively."

Enterprises that need to switch their operational model to an all-remote workforce have access to a complete Unified Communications and Collaboration solution with Ribbon's Smart Office, which provides screensharing, HD video whiteboard, group chat, conferencing and more on both desktop and mobile clients.
