To say that a company like Dialcom Networks develops software for the communication and unified collaboration market and can leave more than one feeling cold. It might be easier to understand their work with some practical cases. For example, explains Javier Marín, head of sales and marketing, the CC.OO trade union has saved a lot of time and money with the software applications for video collaboration developed by Dialcom. The union recently installed this solution for virtual meetings, meaning that head office has saved more than 25% on travel by management to Latin America and other European destinations.
Finance, health, education and public institutions are sectors which are already using some technological products developed by Dialcom. These solutions allow professionals to communicate and work at distance in real time without incurring costs. That is why, although it is not politically correct, Marín says “blessed crisis” when talking about the situation and development of the Aragonese company: because the poor economic situation which is forcing companies to reduce costs and increase ingenuity will benefit Dialcom which offers technology to make it easy to work without being physically present.
The Aragonese company was founded in 2000. Two of the founding partners, Enrique Domínguez and Marcelo Martínez were already involved in the world of communications and internet. Marín, the Aragonese company’s third partner, explains that right from the beginning they had wanted to become heavily involved in this specialised activity niche. "We concentrated on the communication and collaboration market when it was not even called that”.
The entrance of investing partners in 2004 enabled the company to expand internationally. At this moment, Dialcom has its head office in Madrid and subsidiaries in USA and Germany as well as trade offices with preferred distributors in Brazil, Italy, Great Britain, Denmark and Singapore. Its Research and Development laboratory is still in Zaragoza, in the centrally located Calle Alfonso looking onto the Pilar Basilica, 40 engineers develop products which are installed in corporations and institutions in countries all over the world.
