CyberLink’s U Platform Proves the Perfect Productivity Solution for Remote Working

San Jose, Calif. June 26,2018 — CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), today announced a new initiative to help workers make the case to work remotely during the week of the Fourth of July. This initiative encourages workers to open a conversation with their bosses around a work from home solution to help them take advantage of the unusual timing of the holiday this year. With CyberLink’s unified communication tool, U, employees can stay in touch with co-workers in real-time and participate in group meetings, discussions and presentations from home. Using the seamless platform, as well as tips for starting the remote work conversation and staying productive when working from home, CyberLink aims to help workers enjoy the holiday to the fullest.

This year, Independence Day falls in the middle of the week, and not everyone has the luxury to take extra vacation days, so CyberLink created a solution to give them the best of both worlds. With pre-written “Work from Home” request email templates and tips to maximize productivity at home, CyberLink’s U platform is helping employees work with their bosses to create a productive work environment at home, giving them the flexibility needed to enjoy the holiday week with friends and family.

Replacing outdated and out-of-touch web conferencing systems, U provides a simple and easy-to-use solution for virtual meetings, webinars and group messaging wherever you are on any device. Its three main features include U Messenger, U Meeting and U Webinar. The platform offers a forum for easy team collaboration with drag-and-drop file sharing, high-definition browser-based video meetings for up to 100 participants and webinars with screen sharing, PowerPoint integration, live annotations and more.

“Many bosses fall victim to the stigma around remote workers and refuse to allow their employees to work from home in fear of productivity loss. When in reality, if using the right tools, like the U product suite, working from home can be an even more beneficial solution that can also improve employee satisfaction,” said Dr. Jau Huang, CEO of CyberLink. “With U, we’re aiming to help hardworking Americans make the most out of the Fourth of July holiday and spend some well-deserved time with their family and friends, without missing a beat in the office.”

CyberLink’s U, in addition to serving as a complete solution for remote workers, is the most simple and intuitive unified communication tool for any office providing the instruments to increase productivity and office communication.
