Glance Networks is software company headquartered in Arlington, Massachusetts. The company's technology is referred to as a "visual engagement platform" that combines cobrowse, agent video, and screen share into a tool for call center and customer support agents to interact with customers. "Visual engagement" has been described by analyst firm Forrester Research as a way to "to cut through the customer conversation clutter, to be better understood, and to connect emotionally".^[3]
