FVC unveils latest solutions in real-time video conferencing

On highlighting the features and the advantages of the new cutting edge technologies of video communication solutions, Mr. K. S. Parag, Regional Director of FVC, said: "The implementation of this technology enables companies to invite attendees through Microsoft Outlook on any device to participate in a rich media conference, enable multiple instant message participation on the fly with a high quality multipoint video conference, and interactively initiate and control conference functions like mute and disconnect with a few clicks of the familiar mouse".

"With the emerging of the Middle East as a world-class international hub for business and finance, all companies across the region, especially in Saudi Arabia, are looking for ways to emulate successful global business practices and adopt state-of-the-art information and communications systems. We foresee major growth in the rich media collaboration technologies sector in Saudi Arabia",

Parag added.

Video Conferencing and the other collaboration tools are far more than a simple replacement for travel; these enterprise solutions provide better ways to communicate and work. Conferencing and collaboration applications enable knowledge workers to do more than just exchange information; they also provide an environment for productive interaction. More importantly, they improve manageability and effectiveness of real-time communications, make organizations more agile and responsive, and enable global problem-solving and new product deployment.

The value proposition for organizations using this latest cost-effective technology is changing from a cost saving technology to a productivity tool. It breaks down all distance, time, and media barriers, allowing people to communicate with one another anywhere, anytime, and across any medium from multiple endpoints.

"Microsoft is keen on actively supporting these new solutions which combine Microsoft Live Communications Server with Polycom's conferencing solutions, and enable users to immediately launch high quality voice, video and web-conferencing calls", Mostafa Younes, Marketing Manager of Microsoft Arabia, said.

In its efforts to raise consumer awareness of the emerging new video communication technologies and solutions, FVC has organized several seminars early this month in Riyadh and Al Khobar as well as in different Gulf cities.
