Mumbai, Apr 30, 2008
Networking company Cisco Systems, in collaboration with Tata Communications, will set up TelePresence rooms at 4 Confederation of Indian Industry's (CII) offices in New Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore and CII Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre, Hyderabad.
Under an agreement signed at CII's National Conference and Annual Session 2008, Cisco will provide the TelePresence equipment, while Tata Communications will provide the connectivity services that will link the 4 CII sites. This will be a major facility for CII members which will be made available on a 'pay-per-use' basis.
The Cisco TelePresence rooms at the CII facilities will be connected to Tata Communications' planned international network of rooms in premier locations worldwide, enabling cost-effective and high definition videoconference meetings for Indian enterprises with their partners in India and overseas, seamlessly.
"Cisco TelePresence provides professionals the ability to reduce travel while attending more meetings at the same time. This demonstrates Tata Communications' ability to support mission-critical applications that deliver performance reliability, scalability and flexible cost efficiency to enterprises. This facility is being provided to CII and its membership on a new public room model," said Vinod Kumar, president, global enterprise solutions, Tata Communications.
"Cisco TelePresence is a platform for supporting the emergence of transformational business models at a global scale. Our hope is that Indian executives will come away with transformational ideas that take advantage of rural connectivity, such as distance learning, remote healthcare management and virtual business models overall, which will be a catalyst for inclusive growth. Cisco TelePresence will help transform the way CII will do business and communicate with its customers, partners and colleagues," said Wim Elfrink, chief globalisation officer for Cisco.
TelePresence is a virtual meeting solution that creates 'in person' experiences allowing real-time, face-to-face communication over a converged IP network. It delivers life-size images, ultra-high-definition video, spatial audio and a specially-designed environment to create a "room within a room" meeting space, thereby enabling effective global business and increased productivity while allowing for significant savings in travel time and costs.
