[Hong Kong, December 7, 2020] The COVID-19 pandemic has been a testing time for enterprises across the world, and has led to remote office becoming the new norm. To cope with new challenges of enterprise communication and collaboration, Huawei provides a series of solutions to bring enterprises into the intelligent era. One such enterprise is Chong Hing Bank Limited, who adopts HUAWEI IdeaHub for intelligent remote communication and service continuity for the bank's business across Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. IdeaHub integrates diversified functions, such as video conferencing, interactive collaboration, and wireless projection, and offers secure, efficient operations to help reduce health risks and sustain the bank's future development.
