LONDON, July 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

NTT BizLink, a subsidiary of the NTT Communications Group, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world, has extended its partnership with Arkadin, a leading global collaboration services provider, to deliver video conferencing to Japanese businesses.

"NTT Europe is pleased to offer these services to our multi-national customers based in Japan," says Bob Welton, Regional Sales Director at NTT Europe. "We're always looking at how we can extend our cloud services and this helps to strengthen our commitment to our growing European companies in Asia or breaking into."
