Agora exits Q3 with explosive customer growth and a continued
dedication to being the go-to, developer-friendly RTE solution on
the market
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Nov. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API), a pioneer and leading
platform for real-time engagement APIs, today announced impressive
growth across its customer base in Q3 driven by increased demand
for real-time engagement (RTE) technology. Agora, with dual
headquarters in Santa Clara,
California and Shanghai,
China, saw a 95.4% increase in active customers
year-over-year as of September 2020
and continues to power some of the most exciting digital
transformations in the world.
Heading into the new year, Agora will continue to be the go-to
developer-friendly platform that innovators can count on for
quality of experience, scalability, reliability and customization.
Why? In 2021, enterprises big and small will need a solution that
allows them to build applications and platforms with no limits in
mind. It's time to move beyond mere video conferencing and create
branded, tailored virtual experiences. Agora is here to help.
"At Agora, we are firm believers in not settling for the status
quo. Therefore, we pride ourselves in teaming up with each customer
and developing the right solution for their specific needs," said
Reggie Yativ, Chief Operations
Officer and Chief Revenue Officer at Agora Lab, Inc. "We welcome
our new customers warmly to our ecosystem of RTE enthusiasts and
look forward to seeing how our on-demand customer service helps
support their go-to-market and growth strategies."
In Q3, Agora inked new customers with innovative solutions in
online learning, virtual events, remote assistance, virtual
tours and more. Customers turned to Agora to create unique use
cases like:
- Online Learning:
-
- LearnCube helps education companies get to market fast by
providing a superior live learning experience using their
award-winning Whiteboard, Virtual Classroom (with Agora Video
embedded), or Online School solution. They provide both an
off-the-shelf, white-label version and a rich set of APIs for
developers to seamlessly integrate their chosen solution.
- High-End Virtual Events:
-
- Welcome enables anyone to create jaw-dropping events. On
the Welcome platform you can create virtual experiences that look
and feel like an Apple product launch. On a mission to level the
playing field by democratizing access to the opportunities events
provide, Welcome is building experiences that bring people together
like never before. As Welcome iterated on its platform, the
team tried several different live streaming solutions, only to find
Agora's quality and customization unparalleled in the
market.
- Remote Assistance:
-
- ARUtility is the leading augmented reality utility
locating, asset management and building information modeling (BIM)
visualization application that aims to reduce underground damages,
make excavation more cost effective, aid engineers in identifying
conflicts before they happen, and assist utilities with asset
management. Agora's RTE technology powers ARUtility's unique remote
assistance tool which allows field workers to connect with office
staff and share exactly what they are seeing in the field,
including those augmented reality visuals.
- Remote Collaboration:
-
- Loop Team provides a virtual office for distributed
teams to help them communicate faster, capture and share
discussions, and stay more connected. Loop Team uses Agora's
technology to facilitate multi-party video communication &
collaboration, but cites Agora's round-the-clock, responsive
support team, scalability, and reliability as the pillars that won
their business.
- Travel & Virtual Tours:
-
- 360 Stories is a platform for interactive tours led by
real-time guides virtually on the web or from the convenience of
your smartphone, on-the-go. Agora's live streaming technology is
integrated into the platforms' Virtual Live Tours feature that
reaches 34 cities worldwide. The virtual traveler can easily walk
on the streets of Rio or Rome with a local person and soak in the
sights with crisp video and audio quality.
Time and time again, customers choose Agora for delivering on
its promise for quality of experience, scalability, reliability and
customization. "Using off-the-shelf solutions doesn't give you a
branded experience. We provide a completely customizable, fully
branded solution for our users. Agora stood out for both its
quality when scaled for large audiences and the level of technical
customization we could use to brand the audio and video for our
virtual events," said Jerry Shen,
president and co-founder of Welcome.
Agora's video chat and streaming platform doesn't focus on any
one specific vertical or use case. Developers can create unique,
interactive voice and video engagements that go beyond typical
video conferencing solutions. Additionally, Agora customers receive
10,000 free, fully functional minutes each month on Agora's global
low-latency real-time network, making it easy to reach worldwide
audiences.
