Business Wire
T-Systems, Deutsche Telekom's corporate customer arm, and Orange
Business Services have signed an interprovider agreement for
Corporate Video services that will allow customers who use
T-Systems' Corporate Video Exchange Services to meet live with
customers of Orange's Telepresence Community via
videoconference.
This innovative Corporate Video solution reproduces the direct
interaction between people at different sites so realistically that
participants feel as if they were in the same room, even when they
are actually thousands of miles apart.
Thanks to this interprovider connectivity, companies can hold
real-time video meetings easily and securely between companies; the
telepresence and video infrastructure is provided by either
T-Systems or Orange Business Services. This new element in the
business video ecosystem enhances the value of investments made by
customers in video technology and managed video services.
T-Systems and Orange Business Services already have video
interconnections with other providers in place and will continue to
expand these networks to give their customers access to as many
video users around the world as possible. The goal is to make
Corporate Video links as easy and manageable as a simple phone
call. Thanks to the outstanding user-friendliness of the Corporate
Video Exchange Services, subscribers can concentrate fully on their
meeting agenda and don't have to worry about the technical details.
Using their respective booking portals, customers can book meetings
with companies using videoconferencing from either T-Systems or
Orange Business Services.
Video communications between companies are made from their
respective secure intranets, and not over the Internet, which
offers clear business advantages. Corporate Video enables easy
collaboration between employees at different locations, faster
decision processes and problem-solving, more efficient deployment
of limited resources and, in particular, closer business
relationships. Whereas these advantages were previously limited to
internal collaboration and decision processes, the new offer
extends them to all aspects of external business communication
between participating customers, partners and suppliers all over
the globe. The savings in terms of travel expenses are considerable
– with the added benefit of the positive impact on the
environment.
