Closing the Door on Traditional Video Conference Rooms

18 August 2010

VuCall’s cloud based desktop video communications service is rapidly making office based video room systems a thing of the past. VuCall delivers multi-party voice and video to customers without the need for expensive video room systems.  This means that organisations no longer have to incur capital expenditure investing in equipment to do it themselves.  VuCall offers the same business advantages of cloud computing in the video calling, meeting and conferencing space.  Benefits include only paying for the service used, scalability, better reliability, flexibility and the avoidance of ongoing maintenance and support costs.

Cloud based desktop video communications from VuCall enable a company to quickly innovate with new video enabled services because they no longer have to undertake extensive research, get budget approval for capital expenditure, enter into what are often complex buying negotiations and then install and manage equipment.  VuCall believes that for many businesses speed of delivery and service flexibility are extremely important. It is the ‘Keep It Simple’ approach.

Today, progressive organisations are starting to move away from simply seeing video communications as an executive room based solution.  In some cases organisations are now enabling employees at their desktop with business quality video calling, meeting and conferencing capability.  Some organisations are even enabling their remote workers using laptops and 3G mobile or residential grade ADSL data connections for video.

Cloud based desktop video communications services from VuCall incorporate the latest video technology. The established model of video room systems, with one video room simply linking to another video room, is no longer the preferred method of business video communications. Telepresence is rapidly moving to the desktop and becoming personal.

With VuCall’s video cloud communications service all the key elements such as networking equipment, switches and video call routing are delivered in the cloud.

A common belief that no longer holds true is that video conferencing needs a very large budget and a carefully planned (and expensive) network in order to achieve business quality multi-party video conferencing.  The reason for this is simple; in the past video conferencing was expensive, needed dedicated network resources and was difficult to use.  VuCall’s desktop video cloud communications service changes all this. In fact we believe that video communication now extends beyond the conference to meetings and calls whenever you want, wherever you are. VuCall is a new form of business communication that uses the ubiquitous PC and internet platform to create a new paradigm in the world of video communications.  VuCall is at the forefront of the change by offering business quality video calling, meeting and conferencing over the internet as an easy to use service. It finally puts video communications where it is most productive – in the hands of the people who need it most, right on their desktop.
