Vidyo Inc is integrating the VidyoWorks platform into GENBAND’s Smart Office unified communications (UC) solution, available via channel partners.
The integration means that users can seamlessly escalate phone calls to multi-point video calls with screen-sharing.
The VidyoWorks software-based architecture runs on commodity hardware and in virtual computing environments, lowering both the initial and ongoing cost and complexity of the solution when deployed in a service provider or enterprise’s network.
“Vidyo’s advanced SVC-based videoconferencing technology gives our Smart Office UC solution a competitive advantage over other unified communications offerings in the market,” said Carl Baptiste, SVP of unified communications and enterprise product line management at GENBAND. “Our service provider and enterprise customers get a more efficient deployment architecture and their users get a better experience, even on 3G/4G connected mobile clients or constrained networks.”
Baptiste added, “Enhancing our Smart Office solution with Vidyo’s multi-point videoconferencing and screen-sharing tools enables users to be more productive, whether using desktop or mobile devices and on any network, regardless of where they may be.”
The VidyoWorks platform and APIs also allow developers and solutions providers across a wide variety of markets and applications to address an increasing demand to integrate visual communication into productivity solutions.
“Vidyo’s integration with GENBAND’s Smart Office will provide a powerful offering that combines best-in-class real time communications solutions with the highest-quality video technology people have come to know and rely upon through Vidyo,” said Eran Westman, CEO at Vidyo. “GENBAND is a global leader in software-based real time communications solutions for service providers, enterprises, system integrators and developers and this integration with the VidyoWorks platform is another example of how Vidyo is driving change to enrich the communications experience with face-to-face interaction.”
