Tango Networks Communicator with PRIV Prove It Takes Two to Dance

Priv_Tango_Device1Effective communication and collaboration are key to succeeding at work. Think about your workplace: Do employees have direct phone extensions? Do you have a corporate instant messaging solution? Or, do you just yell down the hall, hoping someone will hear you?

In order for collaboration to work, there must be options that enable meaningful, productive conversations without everyone having to be in the same room. In today’s mobile work environment, having a powerful, portable method for collaboration is a complete necessity.

You can count on PRIV by BlackBerry to deliver the best communication tool, with the best application experience amplified by full access to all the apps in the Google Play store. Google Play offers plenty of content-rich communications solutions, but if you’re ready to do the voice-and-chat dance, you might as well tango!

Tango Networks Communicator, powered by Tango Networks, puts the “power of your corporate desk phone” on your PRIV. It enables organizations that have a corporate Tango Networks Hosted or on-premises Accelerator server software for business accounts to offer an easy and powerful way for employees to communicate through voice and messaging.

With the Tango Networks Communicator app, users can dial a colleague from their mobile device using their direct inter-office extension, just like they would from their desk phone. Because users can search the corporate directory right from their phone, there’s no need to save every employee’s number in their phone’s contact list.

Features include:

Tango Networks Communicator is best experienced on PRIV by BlackBerry. What better way to use enterprise-grade messaging than with a smartphone that has an outstanding slide-out physical keyboard, an unparalleled Android performance wrapped in BlackBerry security, and a large display that helps you easily navigate through all your messages and contacts? Be confident in knowing that all of your data is bolted down with BlackBerry’s hardening of the Android OS.

Tango Networks Communicator and the PRIV by BlackBerry will have you dancing with hassle-free business communications.
