A question we get a lot so want to throw out Cisco's answer, but also encourage you customers reading this to add your own perspective. Also, when do you use TelePresence vs other video conferencing? Does your company provide guidelines or is it based on availability?
Cisco's perspective:
TelePresence is really an entirely new techonlogy and surpases video conferencing in these ways:
- Quality and "environmental factors". It combines life-size video images that have ultra-high definition claity and CD-like audio. And, meeting participants actually feel like they are sitting a the same table, making eye contact, and talking to or over each other. Just like a person-to-person meeting.
- Simplicity. Super simple and user-friendly. It uses your enterprise calendar (like Outlook) to schedule meetings, and you just press a button on the phone to start a call. Very little training needed because these are tools you use every day.
- Reliability. Takes advantage of a highly available network and the Unified Communications infrastructure to offer users high reliability
Feel free to ask questions, and if there are any customers reading this please add your perspective.
