Klanten van Telefonica en Verizon kunnen elkaar vanaf
nu virtueel face-to-face ontmoeten
Om te voldoen aan de
groeiende vraag naar videoconferencing zijn Telefonica Global Solutions en
Verizon Enterprise Solutions gaan samenwerken. Met Verizon’s Immersive Video
Exchange en Telefonica’s Global Telepresence Exchange kunnen klanten vanaf nu
via Cisco TelePresence met elkaar werken. Bedrijven die gebruik maken van één
van de oplossingen, kunnen elkaar virtueel face-to-face ontmoeten. Hierdoor
neemt de productiviteit en bedrijfsefficiëntie toe. Het aantal wereldwijde
locaties met videotoegang groeit gestaag door.
Via telepresence kunnen face-to-face meetings real-time worden
gerepliceerd. Het geeft de gebruiker het
gevoel dat iedereen zich in dezelfde ruimte bevindt, ook al zijn de gebruikers
vaak duizenden kilometers van elkaar verwijderd. Met deze oplossing kunnen
bedrijven die gebruik maken van Cisco TelePresence, geleverd door Telefonica of
Verizon, real-time videovergaderingen houden op een uiterst veilige,
consistente en transparante wijze.
Teleprensence stelt bedrijven
in staat te profiteren van een gemakkelijke samenwerking op afstand. Mensen
zijn in staat sneller beslissingen te nemen, conflicten op te lossen, sterkere
relaties op te bouwen en beter gebruik te maken van hun middelen. Met het
vergroten van de telepresence-gebruikerspool gelden deze voordelen ook buiten
het bedrijf. Zo kan worden voorzien in alle facetten van de externe zakelijke
communicatie met de aandeelhouders van het bedrijf.
Momenteel heeft Telefonica
telepresence-samenwerkingsverbanden met Orange, Cisco, TATA, Verizon en Telecom
Italia. Verizon heeft momenteel samenwerkingsovereenkomsten voor telepresence
met BT, Cisco, Orange, TATA en Telefonica. Tevens leveren zij ook Open Video
Communications die videosystemen verbinden die voorheen niet compatibel waren.

Telefonica and
Verizon Customers Can Now Meet Virtually Face-to-Face
New
Agreement Offers Intercompany Cisco TelePresence Meetings for Greater
Visual Collaboration
To meet the growing appetite for
video meetings, Telefonica Global Solutions and Verizon Enterprise Solutions have joined forces so that Verizon Immersive Video Exchange and Telefonica Global
Telepresence Exchange customers can now collaborate via Cisco TelePresence.
Now, businesses and government agencies using either company’s video meeting
system can expand their “collaboration pool,” and meet face-to-face across more
video-enabled locations worldwide for greater productivity and business
efficiency.
Telepresence replicates
face-to-face interactions so realistically that it feels as though everyone is
in the same room – even though they may be thousands of miles apart. Through
this interprovider solution, enterprises already using Cisco TelePresence
provided by either Telefonica or Verizon can hold real-time video meetings with
one another in a highly secure, consistent and transparent manner.
Telepresence enables businesses to
benefit from easy remote collaboration, helping to achieve quicker
decision-making and issue resolution, build stronger relationships, and make
more efficient use of limited resources. By expanding the telepresence community,
these advantages can be extended beyond internal collaboration and
decision-making to facilitate all aspects of external business communications
throughout all of the company’s stakeholder relations.
Juan Carlos Lopez Vives, President
of Telefonica Global Solutions, said: “We are committed to helping our
customers take full advantage of the business benefits of real-time, virtual
meetings through telepresence video collaboration. This agreement expands the
potential of telepresence for customers of both providers, helping them with
cost optimization, as well as to reduce their carbon footprint and improve
productivity, while also fostering a more collaborative business culture.”
Martin Burvill, senior vice president of global
operations for Verizon Enterprise Solutions,
said: “Video is becoming the international language of business, helping
to drive greater productivity and value across traditional network and business
boundaries. Our agreement with Telefonica is yet another step towards the
establishment of an open and rich video collaboration ecosystem, which helps
our customers maximize returns from their telepresence investments.”
Telefonica
now has telepresence interoperability agreements with Orange, Cisco, TATA,
Verizon and Telecom Italia. Verizon now has telepresence interoperability
agreements with BT, Cisco, Orange, Tata and Telefonica, as well as an Open Video
Communications offering that links video systems that were previously incompatible.
