Comcast Business announced it's working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to simplify sign-up and billing for Comcast Business customers who wish to add Amazon Chime video conferencing and collaboration functionalities 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 US 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 31 October.
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, Comcast said. Businesses interested in taking advantage of the trial don't need to have an AWS account or a credit card, nor do they need to be a Comcast Business subscriber to be eligible.
