HCLTech, Verizon unveil FlexSpace 5G to redefine digital workplace

IT service provider HCLTech has introduced FlexSpace 5G, a digital workplace service, in collaboration with Verizon Business, tech and communications services firm. This collaborative effort aims to enhance efficiency and security for businesses worldwide. 

FlexSpace 5G integrates Verizon's robust network infrastructure with HCLTech's expertise in IT services, offering a seamless and secure workplace experience. The platform caters to diverse work scenarios, including desk-bound, remote, mobile, and frontline settings. 

Key features of FlexSpace 5G include end-to-end device lifecycle management through an innovative 'Experience-as-a-service' model, extending mobility beyond traditional Wi-Fi, and providing fast and reliable connectivity. These benefits are particularly valuable across various industries such as finance, technology, healthcare, and media, addressing concerns around data security in remote work setups. 

“With HCLTech FlexSpace 5G, powered by our strategic partner Verizon Business, we aim to provide our clients with a fluid, hybrid and sustainable future of work that fosters collaboration, productivity and innovation,” said Rakshit Ghura, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Digital Workplace Services, HCLTech. 

Jonathan Nikols, Head of Global Enterprise Americas, Verizon Business said, “We continue to make significant investments in our network in order to support solutions such as these, which enable employees to work virtually wherever they need to connect, be that in an airport, a client’s office or on the road.” 

The collaboration between HCLTech and Verizon Business builds upon a $2.1 billion strategic partnership announced in August last year. As part of this agreement, HCLTech became Verizon's primary Managed Network Services collaborator for global enterprise customers, consolidating the strengths of two industry leaders in enterprise networking.
