Cloud meetings enhance sustainability and efficiency

The challenge

Mantena has workshops stretching across in 15 locations in Norway and Sweden, in addition to its main offices in Oslo and Helsingborg. Naturally, this meant that a lot of time and expense was spent with employees traveling between the different sites. This was especially the case Mantena’s Engineering teams. Aa a result, Mantena identified the need for a flexible and user-friendly cloud meeting platform that could provide an alternative to physical communications by facilitating high-quality virtual meetings.

The solution

With the need to drive smooth collaboration across all locations, Mantena chose Kinly Cloud. This platform delivers users their own personal Cloud Rooms and provides project groups with a common Cloud Room, known as Project Rooms. The 350 virtual meeting rooms allow employees to host efficient virtual meetings in the cloud, which can be joined from any device due to the high level of interoperability.

The outcome

Per Christian Stensgård is an IT consultant at Mantena. With Kinly Cloud in place, he has noticed a reduction in travel time and costs. They have regained valuable hours into their days which can now be spent on valuable work, he explains.

“The employees can continue their meetings from their pads or mobile phone. This presents a big advantage. It’s great to be able to continue to participate in the meeting, even if you have to get to somewhere else or are traveling. A lot of people appreciate the possibility to connect to a meeting on their way home or from the airport or hotel if they are travelling” Stensgård says.

Owing to the expertise of Kinly’s integration specialists, Mantena’s employees have become familiar with the virtual meeting rooms and have become familiar to the software. As a result, many of Mantena’s teams now actively prefer to join cloud-based meetings.

“Kinly Cloud Rooms have been a natural part of a busy work day for a lot of Mantenas employees. They prefer to meet virtually instead of spending a lot of unnecessary time traveling. If they have the possibility of hosting the meeting online, they now prefer that. For us, the greatest advantages are without doubt time saved and increased efficiency” Stensgård concludes.
