Austin, TX, USA, June, 2020 -- Lifesize(R), a global provider of immersive enterprise communication solutions, and Serenova, a contact center-as-a-service (CCaaS) provider, announced they will operate under the Lifesize brand, effective immediately.

"In less than three months since completing our merger, Lifesize has seen strong demand for both our video conferencing and contact center solutions as organizations globally have accelerated investments in enterprise-grade communication solutions," said Craig Malloy, CEO of Lifesize. "As we continue expanding our portfolio, the strong heritage and global presence of the Lifesize brand offers us a solid foundation to deliver new value to customers through a differentiated approach to solving enterprise communication challenges with a single-vendor solution."
