Oh Lifesize – What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been

On March 10, 2020, we learned that video conferencing company Lifesize and contact center-as-a-service (CCaaS) provider Serenova were merging.

Marlin Equity Partners, a global investment firm with over $6.7 billion under management and the owner of Serenova, is the financial arm behind the merger and will continue to invest and support the growth of the combined business.

The combined company will be known as Serenova, and Lifesize will become a brand.

At first glance, this appears to be one of the strangest conferencing and collaboration mergers in recent years.  At second glance, this deal is only slightly less strange.
