The ability to collaborate with prospects and clients online, using existing web applications, e-commerce sites and web self service portals as the backdrop, has proven to become a true differentiator in service based economies. In a world where physical presence becomes less important and the expectation of universal availability of personalized service has become the norm, businesses are starting to allocate more and more expert resources to serve their online channels. unblu is at the forefront of this development, allowing its customers to use the web as a collaborative communication channel resulting in better client service, higher client satisfaction and increased sales.

With its robust 3rd generation approach, unblu enables co-browsing for highly dynamic webpages, which to date could not be served with 1st or 2nd generation approaches. Details of the patent can be found under http://www.uspto.gov
