Orange Business Services boosts its Telepresence portfolio
Orange Business Services is encouraging immediate adoption of Telepresence by offering Telepresence Community, a solution that now provides direct access to Cisco's 800 Telepresence rooms, on a free trial basis; promoting interoperability with other global providers; and launching an offer "as-a-service" in the near future.
Having already established itself as a leading global provider of fully managed Telepresence solutions, Orange Business Services strongly believes customers will increasingly adopt video as a B2B service with customers, partners and suppliers using the immersive virtual meeting experience.
"Through Telepresence Community, our B2B Telepresence solution, opening our network and customer base to work with enterprises connected to other operators' networks will create a global video community," said Marc Blanchet, Senior Vice President, Global Communication Services, Orange Business Services.
Direct access to the Cisco community: 27 multinationals, 800 rooms around the world
Orange Business Services has signed an agreement with Cisco to access its service platform. Customers in the Orange Telepresence community will have access to an additional 800 private and public Cisco Telepresence rooms around the world, as well as to companies already connected via Cisco.
To encourage the B2B use of Telepresence, Orange Business Services is inviting its customers to use the Telepresence Community solution free of charge until April 1, 2011, without any commitment.
