Through local telecommunications partner, Convergence Communications, Cambridge-based BlinkPipe offers packages with a 40% discount for eligible companies. The fund is worth up to £4,000 each and will also include free tailored business support and workshops about digital technologies and applying for grants.
Destination Digital is part of Connecting Cambridgeshire, a programme that has won over £4.5 million government and European funding to encourage more businesses to go digital to increase their productivity, profitability and innovation. It is led by Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council.
Alex Nancekievill, co-founder of BlinkPipe, said: “This is a great opportunity for SMEs to improve efficiencies by introducing the very latest digital technology. Using video conferencing to interact with colleagues at different offices, suppliers and clients rather than wasting hours travelling between meetings is a tangible way of improving efficiency and output.”
Alex continued, “BlinkPipe combines the reliability and simplicity of a phone call with HD video, using customers' existing telephone systems for voice, and sending video in HD over the internet at a much higher quality than that of a standard webcam. We’re delighted to qualify for the Destination Digital initiative and hope the available funding will encourage SMEs in Cambridgeshire to take advantage of this great opportunity.”
BlinkPipe was named in 2013 by Business Weekly as one of a number of important Cambridge cluster companies to watch, and has also been shortlisted for the publication’s ‘Small Business of the Year’ Award 2014.
