It would be easy<\/span> to assume that Verizon\u2019s purchase last week of video-conferencing tool BlueJeans<\/a> was an opportunistic move to capitalize on the sudden shift to remote work, but the ball began rolling last June and has implications far beyond current work-from-home requirements.<\/p>\n

The video-chat darling of the moment is Zoom<\/a>, but BlueJeans is considered by many to be the enterprise tool of choice. The problem, it seems, is that it had grown as far as it could on its own and went looking for a larger partner to help it reach the next level.<\/p>\n

BlueJeans started working with Verizon (which owns this publication) as an authorized reseller before the talks turned toward a deeper relationship that culminated in the acquisition. Assuming the deal passes regulatory scrutiny, Verizon will use its emerging 5G technology to produce much more advanced video-conferencing scenarios.<\/p>\n

We spoke to the principals involved in this deal and several industry experts to get a sense of where this could lead.
