Ammex Selects Vidyo Personal Telepresence Globally
By Anil Sharma, TMCnet Contributor
Ammex Corp., one of North America's industrial and medical products suppliers, has selected VidyoConferencing to connect its company's international offices and departments that span multiple locations with HD multi-party video communications.
“It was not economically feasible to invest in a solution with a Multipoint Conferencing Unit, or MCU, architecture given the ongoing network and operation costs,” said Chris Van Vladricken, director of information technology at Ammex Corp, in a statement.
Vladricken said that Vidyo (News - Alert), because it works seamlessly over the Internet with amazing error resiliency and low latency, was the company’s clear choice. He said that the company is already seeing significant ROI from reduced travel expenses.
“We needed a technology that our staff could use with ease, without needing to rely on IT, and Vidyo allows us to communicate face to face with any customer when needed. Also, many systems tout their ability to integrate with other solutions, but Vidyo was the only system that allowed us to include a customer or company that doesn't have their own video conferencing solution in an enterprise-quality experience,” Vladricken said.
He said that all a person needs is a PC or a Mac with an Internet connection, webcam and USB headset, and the company can send them a link to participate in a video conference.
“Videoconferencing needs to meet a high quality threshold, and be accessible to anyone, whenever they need it, wherever they are, just like personal communication devices for voice,” said Marty Hollander, senior vice president, marketing at Vidyo.
Hollander claimed that only Vidyo delivers those capabilities.
He said that for companies such as Ammex, that must reach and support their customers in remote locations, Vidyo provides an unequalled personal telepresence experience, which means award-winning video and audio quality on point-to-point and multipoint conferences, whether one is using a desktop, a laptop or a room system.
Vidyo, Inc. claims that it pioneered Personal Telepresence (News - Alert) enabling natural, multi-point videoconferences on desktop computers and room systems.
