We’re excited about the opportunity to work together to build the only true end-to-end, cloud-based, unified communications solution combining telephony, contact center and video conferencing.”ĭialpad is a flexible, mobile business communications platform unifying voice, SMS and video conferencing all in a single platform. “Driven by emerging use cases such as e-learning, virtual training, telemedicine and remote contact centers, Dialpad is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the growing video conferencing market, which could exceed $50 billion by 2026. “It was the perfect fit of culture and vision for our two companies, and we are thrilled to join the Dialpad family,” said Joe Manuele, CEO at Highfive.

By leveraging the power of open-source WebRTC technology, Highfive was first to develop one-touch, browser-based HD-quality video conferencing services that require no IT intervention, pin codes or pass codes. Born in the cloud, Highfive was founded in 2012 as the first provider to reimagine meeting experiences for both remote and office workers. “Bringing on the team and technology from Highfive helps us deliver even greater call and meeting experiences, better business outcomes and improved ROI for our valued customers and partners worldwide.”īoth Highfive and Dialpad have a rich history of disruption. “Dialpad has always been grounded in the changing dynamic of how we work, and with the future of the office uncertain, companies of all sizes are looking for help with digital transformation strategies to adjust to all possible scenarios,” said Craig Walker, CEO of Dialpad. Leveraging Highfive's technology, Dialpad will bolster its capabilities to transform any home office, huddle room or office space into a smart meeting room experience that works seamlessly with existing hardware and SIP-enabled conferencing providers.
