Enterprise-grade communications service
available for free through October 31st to businesses who sign up
through Comcast Business
Comcast Business today announced it is working with Amazon Web
Services, Inc. (AWS) to simplify sign-up and billing for Comcast
Business customers who wish to add Amazon Chime video conferencing
and collaboration capabilities to their communications services
package. Through this offering, Comcast Business customers can add
Amazon Chime to the services that they receive from Comcast while
maintaining a single supplier and bill. In addition, Comcast
Business is offering businesses in the United States an extended
free trial of Amazon Chime Pro, an enterprise-grade communication
service that allows businesses to video conference, chat, and
collaborate from a single, secure application. Customers who sign
up through Comcast Business will have free access to Amazon Chime
Pro until October 31, 2020.
“At Comcast Business, we understand many businesses are still
working outside of their offices and may not have access to
high-quality, affordable video conferencing and collaboration
tools. By offering Amazon Chime directly through Comcast Business,
and extending a free trial of Amazon Chime Pro, we’re making it
easier for businesses to stay connected and collaborate while their
employees work remotely,” said John Guillaume, Chief Design
Officer, Comcast Business. “Comcast Business is dedicated to
providing the technology, tools, and resources needed to help
businesses not just bounce back but bounce forward. Our
collaboration with AWS further illustrates this deep
commitment.”
Amazon Chime Pro allows business owners to keep their teams
connected and collaborating even outside the office. Business teams
can meet virtually with video conferencing and chat featuring live
screen sharing – all in a single, integrated service. The extended
free trial is available to United States-based businesses.
Businesses interested in taking advantage of the trial do not need
to have an AWS account or a credit card, nor do they need to be a
Comcast Business subscriber to be eligible.
“At AWS, we want everyone to have access to Amazon Chime and we
recognize that for some of our small and medium-sized business
customers, working through an existing communications provider like
Comcast Business can be an easy way for them to begin using Amazon
Chime. Businesses simply sign up with an email and password, invite
colleagues to the team, then collaborate,” said Sid Rao, General
Manager Amazon Chime, AWS. “Enterprise customers of all sizes
depend on Amazon Chime as their communications service for video
conferencing, chat, and collaboration, and we are excited to share
its capabilities to help businesses collaborate with teams inside
and outside their organizations.”

trial can sign up at: https://business.comcast.com/chime/.
