Evoko, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, has a suite of products including room booking systems and desk scheduling systems designed to enhance productivity and streamline office operations.
“We are excited to welcome Evoko to the Biamp family,” said Rashid Skaf, Biamp's president, CEO, and co-chairman. “Evoko is a leader in the scheduling space, and their products are highly regarded by customers around the world. This acquisition will enhance our portfolio of collaboration solutions and provide customers with more comprehensive solutions for managing their meeting spaces by adding room scheduling and more device connectivity options. In addition, Evoko’s innovative desk scheduling system is perfect for helping organizations easily and effectively implement hoteling schemes in their workplace. By enabling this increasingly popular workspace management trend, Evoko stands to revolutionize desk scheduling just as it did with room scheduling years earlier.”
Evoko's technology is already found in more than 10,000 organisations worldwide, this deal will enable Biamp's customers to streamline their scheduling processes, creating an enhanced, unified experience. This acquisition underscores Biamp's commitment to invest in companies that share its mission to connect people through extraordinary audiovisual experiences.
"Joining forces with Biamp, a company recognised for its AV leadership, is an exciting step for Evoko," said Daniel Salmonsson, chief product officer of Evoko. "Together, we will be able to offer an even richer, more integrated experience for our clients."
Evoko will join Biamp as a new product family within the company’s portfolio, with business functions gradually being blended to form a single Biamp business.
