BCS Global New Video Meeting Space Aims to Maintain Worker Productivity While Easing Traffic Gridlock During Pan Am GamesWhen the Pan Am Games come to town this month, traffic and parking are certain to become challenging. But good news has come just in time for those who may attempt to fight their way to the office during the Games. BCS Global Networks, Inc., a cloud-based video and collaboration solutions provider, has introduced Virtual Connect Polycom (News - Alert) Powered, a personal on-demand meeting space. The meeting space uses cloud-based visual collaboration technologies as an effective means to communicate over video. Virtual Connect Polycom Powered enables high-quality, face-to-face video collaboration through a variety of technologies from the boardroom, desktop, laptop, or mobile device - anywhere, anytime. "Using video to communicate and collaborate is commonplace," said Dan Tanel, CTO of BCS Global. "Virtual Connect can be used to get work done from home without fighting the congestion that comes with major tourist events." Tanel says businesses, along with government agencies, legal firms, transportation specialists, human resource recruitment teams and major event groups, are the types of organizations that use the video service to communicate with other employees, customers and business partners. Also, the service is environment friendly throgh the reduction of CO2 and enhances employee work-life balance. The new meeting space is delivered with a self-service management portal that has been designed to simplify and expedite the on-boarding process. New users to the service can easily create a room and host a meeting in minutes. Users can sign up for a trial here.
