Arkadin Has Strong Demand for Enterprise Conferencing and Collaboration in Brazil
SAO PAULO, BRAZIL, Jan 09, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Arkadin, one of the world's largest and fastest growing
collaboration service providers, announced today that it is
experiencing strong growth for its audio and web collaboration
offerings in Brazil. The demand is being fueled by a robust business
environment that requires businesses to collaborate more to compete
in an increasingly mobile and flattened global business economy.
"Since establishing operations in Sao Paulo in 2010, we're growing
more than 20% each quarter," says Thomas Valantin, Arkadin's Managing
Director of Latin America. "We expect continued strong performance
and are making massive investments in people and infrastructure to
meet the region's long-term needs for collaboration services."
According to leading analysts, audio and web conferencing demand in
Brazil is surging. In its 2012 Latin America Audio & Web Conferencing
Service Market & Forecast, Wainhouse Research estimates 54% growth in
web conferencing revenue between 2011 and 2013. Audio conferencing
minutes are expected to increase 72% from 2011 to 2013.
"Brazil is the world's 6th largest economy," says Mr. Valantin. "In
addition to a vibrant local business sector a huge concentration of
multi-nationals are located here. Our complete range of audio and web
collaboration offerings equips these businesses to succeed in a 24/7
business environment where sharing and collective intelligence will
be key drivers for success."

Service-Driven Approach is Key Differentiator
Arkadin brings its
local service approach to its Sao Paulo operations to ensure an
excellent customer experience.
"Our business is founded on the principle that no one understands
local customer needs better than support teams that live in the same
country and speak the same language," continued Mr. Valantin. "Today
we are the most global and local of service providers. Our Sao Paulo
office includes local sales, customer service and support teams for
an enterprise level of service with the personalized attention of a
local provider who understands the cultural influences."
Region to Expand with New Locations
Arkadin has 15 employees in its Sao Paulo office, and expects that
number to increase with rising demand for collaboration services,
coupled with its investments in people and infrastructure. Arkadin
has recently established operations in Mexico. Chile, Columbia and
Argentina are intended for later this year.
