TeliaSonera first in the Nordics to offer Cisco's TelePresence
TeliaSonera launches a new generation virtual meeting service for business
customers called TeliaSonera TelePresence. TelePresence brings companies
significant travel cuts, improved time management and reduced carbon dioxide
emissions.
"TeliaSonera TelePresence allows companies to work efficiently globally, in a
way they have never experienced before", says Juho Lipsanen, President of
TeliaSonera's Business Area Integrated Enterprise Services.
TeliaSonera is the first to introduce this service to the Nordic and Baltic
markets as a total turnkey solution. The service enables meetings where
participants truly experience that they are in the same meeting even when they
actually are in different time zones. Additionally, the service is very easy to
use. Conference time is booked through an electronic calendar and the service is
started at a touch of a single button.
"The service reduces travelling needs, and therefore saves employees time, makes
their life easier and increases their productivity. TeliaSonera TelePresence
also helps corporate customers to reduce carbon dioxide emissions", says Juho
Lipsanen.
TeliaSonera has introduced the virtual meeting service in its Helsinki and
Farsta offices, aiming to reduce travelling between Stockholm and Helsinki by 10
to 20 per cent annually. This would cut carbon dioxide emissions by 200,000 to
400,000 kg. The payback period is estimated at less than a year.
Cisco is the provider of the technical platform for the service. TeliaSonera
will be offering the service to business customers in the Nordic and Baltic
region as a total solution and take full responsibility for the integration
process that will be handled by TeliaSonera's system integrator, Cygate.
