OpenScape Video conferencing solution
Enhance collaboration, cut costs
Geographically dispersed workforces are the norm in the new economy, making the challenge of working together with colleagues, suppliers, and customers increasingly difficult. Conventional wisdom states that face to face meetings are usually the best meetings but they are time consuming, expensive, and they increase an organization’s carbon footprint. Excessive business travel impacts quality of life.
As a result, organizations find themselves under increasing pressure to find new ways to keep productivity up while saving time, cost, and conserving carbon footprint.
OpenScape High Definition Video from Siemens Enterprise Communications is the next best thing to being there, bringing many of the benefits of face-to-face meetings where audio-only conferences fail.
Unified videoconferencing for everyone
Rapid declines in the cost for bandwidth, infrastructure, hardware, and software costs coupled with dramatic technology improvements have made it affordable to deploy HD video throughout many areas of the organization from the boardroom to the desktop of the executive or of the everyday worker.
High Definition SIP-based solutions for the enterprise deployed with Siemens award winning OpenScape UC Server bring meetings to life, integrating video, voice, and presence into a single, powerful communication environment – while making it both affordable and accessible. Tight integration with OpenScape means that users benefit from a single dialing plan for voice and video and Call Admission Control for regulating network resources.
Round that out with an extensive Services portfolio to assist with any or all of your needs – from network design through full managed and hosted service offerings – including global 24x7 technical support.
Siemens’ OpenPath approach means that you can start anywhere on the migration path that makes sense for you – from standalone to fully managed, UC embedded enterprise video.
