“Zoom and DTEN are both dedicated to future-forward technology, seamless user experiences and a relentless pursuit of customer happiness,” said Wei Liu, DTEN founder and CEO. “With this investment, DTEN is able to innovate even faster to support and advance the Zoom-connected world.”
The relationship between DTEN and Zoom is ongoing; from its inception, DTEN has ensured its solutions deliver optimal Zoom Rooms experiences. The recent Zoom investment, providing both financial and engineering support, further solidifies the partnership and reconfirms DTEN’s commitment to the Zoom ecosystem.
“Zoom is committed to empowering people to decide where, when, and how they work,” said Kelly Steckelberg, Zoom CFO. “Zoom’s investment recognizes that DTEN shares our same goals to always make video-first communications frictionless, reliable, secure and productive.”
Liu cited the success of DTEN ME, the first all-in-one video collaboration device designed for individual use, as an example of the ongoing working alliance between Zoom and DTEN. Product design was closely aligned with Zoom’s engineering team, with focus on delivering a big video conference display experience right at the desktop. The result: a fully immersive Zoom-enabled device, combining video communications, content sharing and interactive whiteboarding, popular for home use and at individual workstations alike.
Long-term customer Medallia confirms the value of the partnership. “The combination of Zoom and DTEN accelerated our speed of deployment,” says Robert Vicario, IT Collaboration Service Manager at Medallia. “And it enhanced our ability to manage a global program at a world-class level.”
