FONTEL - QUALITY COMMUNICATIONS SOLUTIONS

Avistar is recognized as a pre-eminent leader and innovator in solving the significant challenges of scale, quality and performance required to deliver video communications and collaboration services that are a measurable asset in organizational performance. Avistar provides the technology that supplies the missing critical element in unified communications. Avistar brings people in organizations face-to-face through enhanced communications, for true collaboration anytime, anyplace. Its latest product, C3, draws on over a decade of market experience to deliver a single-click desktop or room-based videoconferencing and collaboration experience, that moves business communications into a new era.

Available as a stand-alone solution, or integrated with existing unified communications software from other vendors, Avistar’s C3 users gain instant messaging-style ability to initiate video communications and collaborate across and outside the enterprise. Patented bandwidth management enables thousands of users to access desktop videoconferencing, Voice over IP (VoIP), collaboration services, and streaming media without requiring substantial new network investment or impairing network performance.

Avistar’s C3 software makes it quicker, easier and cheaper for individuals and groups within organizations as well as with suppliers and customers, to meet and collaborate irrespective of distance. Avistar customers on average are able to substitute 6% of in-person internal onsite, local offsite, and offsite meetings with air and ground travel, thereby reducing their T&E budgets and carbon footprints by approximately 20%. Across an organization, 250 C3 users save up to $1.1M annually, while 1000 C3 users save up to $7.8M annually. These savings translate into real value, especially given that today’s businesses often have distributed workforces, with ever greater pressures in their lives. Avistar C3 helps everyone feel part of the same team, wherever they happen to be.

It’s not just time and money that’s saved. Regular face-to-face contact within organizations, as well as, with suppliers and customers, speeds decision making and improves relationships immeasurably. A widely distributed workforce becomes a source of flexibility rather than logistical problems. At the click of a mouse, people feel united, whether they’re across an office complex, across a county, or across the globe. The flow of real human interaction becomes visibly apparent, with improved discourse creating new opportunities that encourage human performance and organizational productivity.

Avistar users travel less and this means less stress, while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. Across an organization, 250 C3 users save approximately 260 tons of CO2 annually – the equivalent of taking 43 SUVs off the road. 1000 C3 users save approximately 4,169 tons, or the equivalent of taking 695 SUVs off the road. That’s a lot of trucks, adding up to make a real difference.

Available on-premise and ready to be deployed rapidly across organizations, or alternatively as a turnkey Hosted Service, Avistar’s C3 software makes it possible for organizations to deploy video according to changing demands and market conditions. Not surprisingly, Avistar’s desktop and room-based videoconferencing and collaboration installations are among the world’s largest, with more than 18,000 seats sold in more than 40 countries.
