The document summarizes Acano, a company that brings together previously incompatible audio, video, and web technologies in virtual meeting rooms called coSpaces. coSpaces allow people to meet from anywhere using any device with full functionality. Acano provides a scalable infrastructure that supports many video and audio standards, as well as Lync, WebRTC, and other technologies. This gives teams freedom to communicate however they choose. Customers say Acano will change how they work by providing massive scale and access that was never before possible.

27. What Analysts are Saying
“[With] the emerging Acano
solution… I think we might be
headed in the direction where
remote collaboration sessions will
be ‘richer’ and more productive than
in-person meetings.”
“Think of this solution as a Lync
gateway (virtual server) with high “port
density,” low cost, multiple apps, and
a flexible business model.”
“Acano seems to be solving several
pain points that have hindered video
conferencing in the past… The timing
is right as user needs shift
drastically.”
