Virtual Office offers businesses integrated telecommunications
Mar 07, 2013
Tekmi, a Moscow-based start-up, has launched its Virtual Office, a service that is believed to be a fully integrated telecommunications solution for companies from small to large-scale, and to also help efficiently interact with customers and among employees, Russian Venture Company (RVC) reports.
Tekmi is a portfolio company of the RVC Seed Fund, set up by RVC, and Softline Venture Partners.
Virtual Office is said to incorporate in one interface all means of communication that modern companies use, including direct landline telephony, virtual automatic telephone systems, email with a corporate domain name, audio and video calls, chatrooms, online conferences, and corporate data storage. The solution provides telecom services for a group of offices of any size as efficiently as for a single office, RVC claims. It is assumed that a person doesn’t have to have special skills to customize service settings via the innovative web-based interface.
Tekmi reckons that companies linked up to the new service "could save up to 70% of office costs" as they wouldn’t have to buy telecom equipment, wire offices and run several interfaces.
"Our new solution enables a customer to focus on its core activity, on business, wasting no time or effort on infrastructure problems and saving substantially on this," said Ruslan Dinmukhametov, Tekmi’s head of marketing.
The developers believe that Virtual Office will also be a helper for companies that want to establish new geographical presence without opening a physical office.
Tekmi was set up by Softline, a Russian VC firm, in the fall of 2010. In March 2011, Softline Venture Partners and the RVC Seed Fund invested $1m in the start-up.
