Level 3 Launches Amazon Chime for Cloud UC

Level 3 Communications has taken the wraps off of Amazon Chime delivered by Level 3, a global unified communications offering.

Chime runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), with end-to-end customer support and global SLAs provided by Level 3. It’s a pay-as-you-go collaboration tool, without the requirement for long-term commitments or upfront capital investments, available to Level 3 customers in North America and EMEA.

“AWS and Level 3 have a solid track record of working together to provide solutions to businesses,” said
Carlin Wiegner, general manager of Amazon Chime, Amazon Web Services. “Our customers have told us that Amazon Chime takes the frustration out of meetings, with a single tool that helps ensure meetings start on time and gives employees high quality meetings with video, voice and chat. As an Advanced Partner in the AWS Partner Network, Level 3 is well suited to participate with us to deliver Amazon Chime.”

Cindy Whelan, principal analyst, Global IT Managed and Hosted Services, GlobalData, added: “Despite advances in conferencing technology, all too often online meetings are delayed by common pitfalls like call access coordinates and distractions from background noise. Amazon Chime delivered by Level 3 gives Level 3’s enterprise customers a new option for collaboration services, with one click to join meetings and noise cancelling audio that can add up to more productive meeting time.”
