So what does all that mean?

Phones can participate in video calls. This means colleagues with mobile/desk phones can be added to the conference on an ad hoc basis. Colleagues without a video endpoint can participate. Those out of the office can still join in on a mobile phone or from their PC soft-client.

Video for the whole organization runs on a single system. OpenScape Video runs over the enterprise IP network. Plus, its integration with the OpenScape Unified Communications Server means video endpoints can be part of a Presence listing – just like email, mobiles and desk phones are currently.

As easy and reliable as dial-tone. Unlike previously, there’s no painful planning for a video call. A conference can be set up as easily as dialling a phone number.

What will it do for you?

Cut costs. OpenScape Video runs effectively over IP networks, thus potentially eliminating the need for costly ISDN networks. It also works with legacy and third-party endpoints.

Reduce travel expenses. Saving the financial expense of one business trip per month can influence your bottom line.

Increase productivity. The ability to ‘meet’ virtually helps to solve problems effectively and move projects along more quickly.

Reduce your carbon footprint. Reducing business travel shows your company to be environmentally responsible.

Co-ordinate remote workers. Meeting via HD videoconference allows remote workers to feel part of the team, Communication is enhanced compared with email and phone calls and this increases productivity.

Improve the video experience. It’s an immersive HD rich user experience. HD means it’s possible to clearly see facial expressions, eliminating the ‘meeting fatigue’ with previous videoconferencing solutions and enhancing the real-time feel of the collaboration.

Improve work/life balance. Business travel eats into quality time. Reducing business travel by 10% can significantly improve an employee’s wellbeing.
