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.
