Work from Home: Europe’s Largest Tech Incubator, Level39, Empowers Fast-growth Startups to Work Remotely with 8x8
Summary
Level39 is a community of 1,250 leaders from 200 tech companies based onsite who work in FinTech, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, RegTech, IoT, smart cities, RetailTech and blockchain. They support these fast-growth technology companies by providing access to world-class customers, talent and infrastructure along with organising weekly sessions with mentors, investors and industry leaders. With cloud-enabled communications, staff and members were able to set up virtual auto-attendants and smart redirects in a matter of minutes, from the safety of their home with minimal business disruption. Qaunain Meghjee, Head of Technology at Level39, said: “Our focus at Level39 is to nurture some of the largest tech start-ups and leaders across Europe, but we were completely restricted by our telephony system, which did not reflect the innovative start-ups and scale-ups we work with. 8x8 has not only allowed us to give our staff and members access to exceptional communications technology, but when the current coronavirus crisis hit, our businesses could easily switch to remote working overnight, with minimal hassle at a stressful time.
