The investment will help this brand-new tech company accelerate the development of state-of-the-art tech focused on solving the problems of business leaders caused by emerging remote workforces and the future of work.
“The way businesses and teams communicate internally has changed overnight. Digital communication through direct messaging services like Slack and Teams is accelerating and disrupting the way businesses traditionally communicate. Vize gives businesses an intelligence superpower by analyzing and making sense of their internal digital communication data so that businesses can leverage the data to rethink and improve business strategies. Operating with wild west internal digital communications without data intelligence will soon be like using the phone book instead of Google.” Joel Pinel – CEO Vize Labs
