‘Jabra’ showcases AI to transform ‘digital workplace’

Jabra helps organizations transform their offices into “digital workplaces” by launching intelligent video conferencing solutions powered by AI to enhance the meeting experience. This move addresses the growing trend of hybrid work, particularly popular among the new generation.

Holger Reisinger, Jabra’s Senior Vice President of Enterprise Video Solutions, stated that “AI assistants have the potential to significantly improve productivity in hybrid work environments.”

Asia is a rapidly growing region with a large population of young professionals. Gen Z, the predominant working generation, enjoys meeting and is open to face-to-face interactions.

Jabra continues to transform the video conferencing market by embracing the hybrid work trend, focusing on offering intelligent AI-powered solutions. The “PanaCast” product family enhances the meeting experience, making it agile and fast, aligning with the digital workplace trend of the new generation.

Highlights like the “PanaCast 50 intelligent video bar” and “PanaCast 50 Video Bar System (VBS)”, a complete intelligent meeting room system, are both powered by AI and designed to deliver an exceptional meeting experience for businesses and young professionals. They boast excellent sound quality and offer flexibility for remote work. The company has also launched the Jabra Warranty+ service, extending device protection to up to 5 years from the standard 2-year warranty, providing users with greater peace of mind.

Reisinger explained that the advent of AI has enhanced the efficiency of audio and video products and services, making Jabra stand out from its competitors. AI makes usage more natural, allowing all cameras to seamlessly detect 100% of images while significantly improving sound quality compared to before.

Looking ahead, Jabra will focus on developing video collaboration tools with AI features to meet the evolving needs of hybrid work environments. The company will continue to prioritize reliability and build comprehensive solutions that cater to the workforce, primarily through system integrators (SIs).

“Despite the economic challenges facing businesses, video conferencing remains a large market with ongoing investment. Jabra is confident in its continued success based on positive customer feedback and the expansion of video adoption and hybrid work, especially among the young generation who prefer remote work options.”

Sataporn Sampawapol, Jabra’s Country Manager for Thailand and Indochina, added that employees and businesses are increasingly valuing flexibility and work-life balance. This has contributed to the rise of hybrid work, which has gained popularity and adoption over the past two years.

In Thailand, Jabra’s marketing strategy leverages its reputation as a trusted European brand for both multinational and local companies. It targets the education, government, and state enterprise sectors. Marketing opportunities arise from existing customers seeking system upgrades and new customers setting up or relocating offices.

Jabra utilizes a network of agents and three major distributors: SIS Distribution, Ingram Micro, and RTB. Beyond hardware, the company provides software, solutions, and back-end management.

With products that cater to both audio and video needs for consumers and businesses, Jabra’s ASEAN market witnessed a growth of over 70% last year. This year, the market is expected to maintain strong performance.
