What our customers like about it

Easy access to all employees and guests

Compared to a public mobile chat solution, Horizon is much more comfortable: I don't have to add the whole company to my contacts! Since Horizon is integrated with the Digital Workplace, I can easily find all my colleagues from the directory, but also thanks to auto-completion when I start a chat or a chat room with several people. With Horizon, I can also contact external people who have guest accounts.

Continuity of use between desktop and mobile

With Horizon, I can continue on my mobile conversations that I started on my PC and vice versa, whereas before I had 2 different tools, one on my PC at the office and aother one on my mobile. Horizon allows me to stay on top of the conversation when I'm on the move and to optimize my waiting time during the day, especially on public transport.

A secure solution that we keep control of

In terms of storage, we know that all messages that are sent or recevied remain on the company's network. This is particularly important with regards to the Cloud Act to which all other chat solutions from the United States are subject. We thus retain complete control over the storage and archiving time of the messages and related attachments. In addition, Horizon requires the same level of authentication as access to the Digital Workplace, which reinforces our security strategy.
