[June 11, 2009] Accordent and TANDBERG jointly provide integrated visual communications solution to TELUS Tweet Jun 11, 2009 (M2 EQUITYBITES via COMTEX) -- Accordent Technologies, a provider of enterprise-wide rich media communications solutions, and TANDBERG, a provider of telepresence, high-definition video conferencing and mobile video products and services, on Wednesday (10 June) announced that the companies have been selected by TELUS (TSX:T) (NYSE:TU), a telecoms services provider based in Canada, to provide an integrated video conference archival, management and measurement solution as part of an outsourced visual communications network for a major Canadian utility. The companies said that a core component of the visual communications network is a joint solution from TANDBERG and Accordent that integrates the TANDBERG Content Server (TCS), a network-integrated device that provides a streamlined, automated workflow to capture and archive streaming versions from any video conference end point, with the Accordent Media Management System (AMMS), a multimedia communications management system. The joint Accordent and TANDBERG offering reportedly provides an automated, unified workflow within which organisations can archive video conferences and live events using TCS, detect and ingest TCS-created content into the AMMS, carry over content metadata to ensure proper categorisation and searchability and track how viewers are consuming the TCS-archived content. The joint solution will also enable TELUS clients to precisely track which viewers have watched which piece of content, for how long, their workgroup or geographic origin and how they interacted with available online polling and testing functionality.
