Video conferencing on demand

Video-conferencing and telepresence solutions bring people and businesses together – forging links across countries, sites and, systems. They cut travel costs and accelerate processes
Overview
Analysts at IDC believe video conferencing is about to take off in a big way. Demand is being driven by our increasingly interconnected global economy, and by the needs of multinational companies with geographically dispersed staff. Because no matter where they are, employees still need to communicate, collaborate, and exchange ideas. Moreover, CFOs are tightening purse strings and looking for alternatives to costly business trips. However, until recently, video conferencing struggled to catch on due to poor-quality connections, complicated configuration and usage, and a lack of compatibility between the various platforms. Setting up a conference was time-consuming and awkward. But new solutions with improved, more intuitive technology are turning things around. So much so that experts at Forrester believe that video conferences will be part and parcel of our working lives within five to ten years.

Video conferencing solutions to suit every need

The array of video conferencing technologies available ranges from compact desktop packages to high-end solutions such as Telepresence. Cross Company Exchange Service is a platform developed by T-Systems that can link multiple companies, systems, and providers. A user of a desktop solution can, for example, interoperate with a telepresence system that supports top-quality audio and full-HD video. Even mobile workers can take part. And when delivered as a managed component at T-Systems’ data centers, firewalls and encrypted transmission ensure robust protection for all communications.
* Pricing example: A complete package Managed Telepresence on a Single-screen endpoint.
One-off charge of € 695*. The package does not include any endpoint equipment. All prices subject to value added tax, where applicable. Prices and availability may differ from country to country.

How can my company benefit from Corporate Video?

Business growth

  • Growth via new collaboration opportunities: connecting sites and offices around the world
  • Freed-up capital can be invested in growth
  • Flexible expansion: from small-scale desktop solutions to high-end telepresence options
  • Possibility to integrate road warriors working on mobile devices

Costs

  • According to the Carbon Disclosure Project, companies with revenues of more than 1 billion US dollars, an investment in four telepresence rooms is amortized in just 15 months.
  • A video conferencing solution that eliminates 3,600 business trips, at an average cost of 400 euros per journey, saves 1.4 million euros a year. And that does not include the extra benefits from greater productivity.
  • Rented video-conferencing solutions minimize investment in infrastructure (opex instead of capex).
  • On-demand service, with pay-per-use pricing

Technology

  • The Cross Company Exchange Platform integrates a variety of video conferencing systems
  • Telepresence: high-resolution cameras and large 65-inch TFT screens (720p and 1080p)
  • High-performance microphones and voice-activated screens
  • Secure connections via VPN
  • Supports point-to-point and multi-point sessions
  • Intuitive operation

Operations

  • Telepresence conferences that support multiple companies and providers
  • Partners are linked via dedicated peer-to-peer connections, which are not routed via global Internet infrastructures. This means that third parties cannot access customers’ information.
  • Three types of end-to-end solutions available to rent
  • Managed Hosted: central components are located in T-Systems’ data center, local components at the customer site. Managed by T-Systems
  • Managed Onsite: central and local components are at the customer site. Remote management by T-Systems.

Ecology

  • WWF and the European Telecommunications Network Operators’ Association (ETNO) estimate that if 20 percent of business trips in Europe were replaced by video conferences it would reduce carbon emissions by 22.4 million metric tons.
  • Businesses with revenues of more than 1 billion US dollars can cut carbon emissions by 2.3 million metric tons in five years (source: Carbon Disclosure Project
