Rather than a generic meeting service, Cordoniq is an enterprise-class, video conferencing, and collaboration platform-as-a-service model that is entirely API-driven to interact with virtually anything in your tech stack directly.

Cordoniq frees participants and presenters from the frustrations of toggling between their apps and a retail video conferencing user interface.

Share Web & Browser Content

With the ability to share web content, you can easily blend HTML and web applications as a customized and native live collaboration experience, allowing the best of both worlds to work together seamlessly.

This avoids the disjointed feel of constantly toggling between the video conference application and your web browser, which is common in other video collaboration solutions.

Customized platform implementation

Customize Cordoniq video collaboration platform to reflect your company's brand and leverage your tech stack to deliver a cohesive meeting experience for your clients and employees.

Most retail meeting software relies on cloud servers controlled by the service provider, not the customer.

As a result, users have little control over where their content, video, recordings, and audio is transported and stored, leaving the hosting company responsible for protecting users’ private information and data from cybercriminals and malicious actors.

Cordoniq’s platform offers the ability to deploy modules on the network or cloud server, providing better control, scale, availability, and protection over the company and customer proprietary information:

Scalability

  • The Cordoniq platform is elastic, with the ability to grow or shrink on demand to meet needs

  • Integrates easily into existing cloud data centers to leverage scale

  • Spans processors and nodes, and fully leverages the CPU cores of host machines

  • Scales horizontally and infinitely because all modules are stateless

Security

Protect your company's and clients' proprietary information with up to and beyond U.S. military-grade security, privacy, scalability and control over your video conferencing and collaboration solution. Cordoniq

  • Provides true end-to-end encryption for all meeting participants regardless of device, including mobile

  • The Cordoniq platform gives organizations control over licensing and the entire room experience

  • Deploy backend modules into a secure cloud

  • Distribute modules to create failover and load balanced, fault tolerant implementations, as well as geo-located servers for maximum performance

  • Control every aspect of the user experience using platform APIs

  • Delivers an API-driven solution so all elements of the experience are controlled in the developer portal or a host-control application

  • Customize the features and capabilities that are presented to the attendees in meetings

  • Decouple licensing to prevent potential security issues with overlapping meetings trying to use the same room
