This agreement enables Bluechip to resell Neat products to enterprise and public sector customers across Australia.

This agreement will also give Bluechip access to Neat’s video portfolio covering all small, medium and large room solutions in Australia.

“Bluechip complements our services by providing the expertise, market presence and knowledgeable team to ensure first-class support for all our joint partners. This further deepens our vertical focus within key sectors in the government, education and finance space,” comments Neat ANZ regional director Jason MacBride on the partnership.

“Bluechip is excited about this partnership with Neat. Video technology is a high priority requirement today to support blended and mobile workplaces.

“Our agreement with Neat fills a gap for us and enables us to deliver the best video experiences for our Zoom and Microsoft Teams partners,” says Bluechip director marketing and alliances Willy Harsono.

According to a recent report by Mordor Intelligence cited by Neat, the Unified Communications and Collaboration market is expected to reach nearly US$500 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 27.8%.

The market will change how remote and hybrid work is done.

Neat also cited in an Ecosystem research that shows almost two-thirds of workers “want the work-from-anywhere models retained and half want the right to choose their work location, suggesting that hybrid work is the new normal in business.”

These rapidly evolving workplaces demand technology that delivers true meeting equity with simplicity and reliability critical to hybrid working success.

Neat will showcase its portfolio at Integrate 2024 from 21-23 August among them Neat Center, a companion video device that extends the capabilities of Neat devices and Neat Symmetry.

Neat Center leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver even more human connectivity with its 360° meeting experience that ensures remote-based participants remain at the centre of every conversation.

Neat’s Authorised Distribution Partners programme extends support for Neat solutions to even more partners in the Zoom and Microsoft partner communities and helping more Australian customers across all verticals enjoy remarkable video collaboration experiences.

“Neat makes it easier than ever for customers to purchase and deploy Neat devices to support their hybrid workplaces,” says Neat vice president of global distribution and partner programs Wayne Mason.

“We do this by bringing additional partners into the Neat ecosystem, while making it beneficial for them to work with Neat to address the increasing demand for exceptional video capabilities for the hybrid workforce of the future.
