Dimension Data erhält als nur eines von drei Unternehmen in Deutschland UC-Master-Spezialisierung von Cisco

Dimension Data hat die Master-Spezialisierung Unified Communications von Cisco erhalten und zählt damit zu den drei Unternehmen in Deutschland, die über diesen Titel verfügen. Die Master-Spezialisierung bescheinigt einen überdurchschnittlichen Grad an Expertise und Kompetenz bei Beratung, Implementierung und Betrieb von UC-Lösungen.

"Mit der Cisco-UC-Master-Spezialisierung haben wir bewiesen, dass Dimension Data die extrem hohen Technologieanforderungen für komplexe Unified-Communications-Lösungen erfüllt", sagt Herbert Bockers, Vorstand Dimension Data Germany. "Die Spezialisierung bestätigt unsere hochwertigen Services über den gesamten Service-Lifecycle, von der Erstberatung bis zur Implementierung, sowie unsere umfangreichen Referenzen im Bereich UC."

"Dimension Data ist einer unserer kompetentesten und loyalsten Partner", sagt Carsten Heidbrink, Direktor Partnergeschäft Cisco Deutschland. "Mit der UC-Master-Spezialisierung stellt das Unternehmen einmal mehr seine Expertise unter Beweis. Dimension Data zeichnet sich durch die Fähigkeit aus, internationale Service-Modelle für unsere Kunden bereitzustellen sowie durch sein kontinuierliches Commitment, künftige Wachstumsmöglichkeiten zu antizipieren und umzusetzen", so Heidbrink.

Der Master-Level steht für den höchsten Grad an Spezialisierung und Expertise der Partner. Um diesen zu erhalten, müssen die Partner zunächst die Anforderungen der Advanced-Unified-Communications-Spezialisierung erfüllen. Zudem werden drei weitere Kriterien vorausgesetzt: Dazu gehört die Überprüfung von fünf Kunden-Referenzen. Dimension Data hat in diesem Bereich erfolgreich gezeigt, dass der IT-Dienstleister bei seinen Kunden multiple Unified-Communications-Lösungen und -Anwendungen entwickelt und implementiert hat. Außerdem muss die Technik-Expertise unter Beweis gestellt und belegt werden, dass zusätzliche Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts bei Bedarf zur Verfügung stehen. Wichtig war dabei die Erfahrung mit der Anwendungsintegration von Cisco-Komponenten sowie von Drittanbietern. Umfassend geprüft wurden auch das Leistungsspektrum und die Methodik. Dimension Data konnte dabei in allen Phasen des Cisco-Lifecycles überzeugen. Das beinhaltet auch die nach ISO vorgeschriebenen Anforderungen für die Betriebsphase, den Support nach der Umsetzung und die Fehleroptimierung.

LifeSize bringt Videokonferenzlösungen für Geschäftszwecke auf das iPhone 4S

LifeSize ClearSea bietet sofortige Unterstützung für iOS 5 und ermöglicht Videoanrufe überall und jederzeit auf der denkbar größten Geräteauswahl

LifeSize, eine Abteilung von Logitech, hat heute bekannt gegeben, dass LifeSize® ClearSea™ (ehemals Mirial ClearSea), eine Videokonferenzplattform für Mobilgeräte und Desktop-Anwendungen für Unternehmenszwecke, bereits jetzt auf iOS 5 läuft und demnächst auch auf dem neuen iPhone 4S laufen wird. Nutzer haben damit von allen iPhones und auch vom iPhone 4S aus sofortigen Zugriff auf alle standardisierten Videokonferenzsysteme.

Seit der Übernahme von Mirial durch Logitech im Juli arbeitet LifeSize an der Ausweitung offener und kompatibler Videokollaborationslösungen, die allen jederzeit auf beliebigen Geräten offenstehen. LifeSize ist bei der Markteinführung und Übernahme von Videolösungen auf Mobilgeräten für Unternehmenszwecke branchenführend, und heute sind Apps für Videoanrufe auf zahlreichen Mobilgeräten mit iOS- und Android-Betriebssystem erhältlich, von Apple über Dell, Google, HTC und Motorola bis zu Samsung. Infolgedessen ist LifeSize momentan der einzige Anbieter am Markt für Videokonferenzlösungen, der nativ interoperable Videoanrufe vom Besprechungszimmer auf PCs und Macs sowie iOS-5-Geräte und eine breite Auswahl an Smartphones und Tablets ermöglicht.

“Seit Jahren bemüht sich der Markt um die Bereitstellung interoperabler Videokonferenzlösungen auf Mobilgeräten – und die Erfahrung war weit entfernt von der Einfachheit eines Sprachanrufs”, sagte Craig Malloy, CEO von LifeSize und Senior Vice President bei Logitech. “Innovationen unermüdlich voranzutreiben, liegt LifeSize im Blut. Wir wissen, dass Unternehmenskunden, zu denen wir auch selbst gehören, mit Leichtigkeit Videoanrufe zu jeder Zeit und von jedem Gerät aus tätigen wollen. Mit der heutigen Ankündigung für das iPhone 4S machen wir dies möglich und verändern damit die Landschaft für Videoanrufe – und zwar in der für Unternehmenszwecke nötigen Qualität.”

LifeSize ClearSea ist eine Client-/Server-Lösung für die Videokollaboration auf Desktop- und Mobilgeräten in der für Unternehmen erforderlichen Qualität. Da sie offen und kompatibel ist, können sich Nutzer nahtlos von ihren Desktop- oder Mobilgeräten aus in Sekundenschnelle mit beliebigen Videokonferenzsystemen oder Infrastrukturlösungen verbinden. LifeSize ClearSea Server ist als Hardware-Apparat oder als virtuelle Maschine (Software) erhältlich und umfasst einen HD-Desktop-Client auf dem neuesten Stand der Technik für PC/Mac und Android-/iOS-Mobilgeräte sowie NAT-/Firewall-Traversal und Konferenzfunktionen für mehrere Teilnehmer.

HD-Videokonferenzsysteme optimal einsetzen

Der Markt für Videokonferenzen verzeichnet steigende Umsätze. Immer mehr Unternehmen nutzen die Technik, um Kosten zu sparen und Meetings möglichst effizient zu gestalten. Was beim Einsatz zu beachten ist, zeigt dieser Beitrag des Videokonferencing-Anbieters Lifesize.

Egal, ob Kundentermin, Expertenkonferenz oder Strategiemeeting – Verlauf und Erfolg solcher Gespräche hängen immer auch davon ab, dass man Mimik und Gestik der Gesprächspartner wahrnehmen und einschätzen kann. Dabei erweist sich vor allem die Bildqualität hochauflösender Videokommunikationslösungen mit HD-Technik als hilfreich.

Die folgenden Tipps zeigen, wie IT-Verantwortliche das geeignete System finden und am besten einsetzen.

Auf die Arbeitsumgebung achten

Bei Videokonferenzen ist auch die Arbeitsumgebung wichtig. Deshalb gibt es auch unterschiedliche Lösungen für verschiedene Umgebungen. Ein Besprechungsraum benötigt beispielsweise ein anderes Equipment als ein mobiler Nutzer oder die »kleine Lösung« für den Arbeitsplatz. Diese Umgebungsfaktoren sollte man vor dem Kauf eines Videokommunikationssystems beachten.

Mitarbeiter trainieren

Eine der größten Schwierigkeiten bei der Arbeit mit Videokonferenzsystemen ist es, Menschen das lockere Auftreten vor der Kamera beizubringen. Viele sind gehemmt, sobald sie aufgezeichnet werden. Kurze Trainings-Sessions sowie die Analyse von Mimik, Gestik und Körpersprache können zu einem ungezwungeneren Auftritt beitragen.

Überblick über Preis-Leistungs-Unterschiede verschaffen

Beim Kauf eines HD-Videokonferenzsystems sollte man sich nicht voreilig für einen Anbieter entscheiden. Es lohnt sich, zuvor die Angebote konkurrierender Händler und Hersteller zu vergleichen. Videokommunikationslösungen mit HD-Qualität sind bereits seit mehreren Jahren auf dem Markt. Die Anschaffungskosten für Videokonferenz-Produkte mit vergleichbarer Leistung variieren sehr stark.

LifeSize Takes on Cisco in Videoconferencing

LifeSize Communications Inc., a unit of computer-mouse maker Logitech International SA, expects revenue to jump as it competes with rivals including Cisco Systems Inc. to add clients in the videoconference market, set to more than double in the next five years.

LifeSize's sales are forecast to rise two to three times faster than the market, which is expected to grow 15 percent this year, Chief Executive Officer Craig Malloy said in a phone interview. Revenue at the Austin, Texas-based company rose 34 percent to $36.5 million in the fiscal first quarter, making LifeSize Logitech's fastest-growing business.

“We're seeing very, very rapid growth in videoconferencing,” the CEO said. “We're going to piggyback on key trends and accelerate our growth.” LifeSize is targeting $1 billion in revenue in coming years, Malloy said, without giving a precise timeframe.

Technology companies are using mergers and acquisitions to grow in videoconferencing. Romanel-sur-Morges, Switzerland-based Logitech, the world's biggest maker of mice, was among the first to make a deal in the industry when it bought LifeSize for $405 million in 2009. Cisco the same year announced it was buying Tandberg ASA, the world's second-biggest maker of videoconferencing equipment, and Polycom Inc., the world's largest standalone maker of videoconference gear, agreed to buy Hewlett-Packard Co.'s competing business in June.

Microsoft Corp., the world's largest software maker, agreed this year to buy Skype Technologies SA, the world's most popular Web-calling service, to strengthen its bid to convince corporate clients to replace traditional phone and videoconferencing systems with its software.

‘Beyond Consumer'

“Logitech wanted to diversify from PC peripherals,” Malloy said. “We're a natural extension for them to go beyond consumer channels and into business ones.”

Global videoconferencing endpoint revenue, which includes equipment and doesn't include services, will reach $4.15 billion in 2016 from $1.66 billion last year, according to research from Frost & Sullivan Inc.

“Companies are looking for ways to reduce costs due to the financial crisis,” Iwona Petruczynik, a Warsaw-based analyst at Frost & Sullivan, said in an interview. “People are moving away from in-person meetings to save money and time, and this is a great way to do it.”

LifeSize, the third-biggest videoconferencing provider with about 15,000 customers worldwide, offers high-definition video conferencing services, mainly targeting medium and large companies, the CEO said. LifeSize in July bought Mirial, a specialist in software for video-conferencing on tablets and mobile phones.

Android, Apple Devices

The Mirial deal allows LifeSize to “offer video communication to any Android or Apple-based device,” Malloy said, closing a gap in its product offering. “Mobility services are one of the key trends in the industry and they will help us gain market share.” He declined to say whether the company is looking at other acquisition targets and said LifeSize plans product innovations “the likes of which the video-communications industry has never seen.”

LifeSize is also adding cloud-based services such as virtual infrastructure for companies that don't have in-house video expertise or information-technology resources, the CEO said.

LifeSize Strengthens Commitment to U.S. Federal Market with JITC Certification

AUSTIN, Texas, August 2, 2010 – To extend its reach into the U.S. federal market, LifeSize® Communications, a division of Logitech (Nasdaq: LOGI) (SIX: LOGN), has achieved Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) certification for select LifeSize Room™, Team™, and Express™ HD video conferencing systems and the LifeSize Networker™ gateway.

These products have received Interoperability Certification (IOC) and Information Assurance (IA) accreditation from JITC, the organizational element of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) responsible for certifying joint and combined interoperability of all Department of Defense (DoD) information technology and national security systems.

“HD video conferencing is in great demand by government organizations that are often geographically dispersed and rely heavily on technology to fulfill their mission,” said Paul Cantwell, the new vice president of federal sales for LifeSize. “The JITC certification will now allow all DoD agencies to realize the quality, productivity improvements, return on investment and interoperability that LifeSize systems provide.”

With the JITC certification, LifeSize products are now available through the DoD Unified Capabilities Approved Products List (UC APL). As part of JITC certification, the products were determined to meet IPv6 requirements.

“In addition to the JITC certification, LifeSize is expanding our federal sales organization with our hiring of Paul Cantwell, a Cisco and Tandberg veteran who is a proven leader in the federal market and videoconferencing industry,” said Colin Buechler, senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing for LifeSize. “Under Paul’s leadership, LifeSize will give federal agencies the superior solutions and support our customers around the globe have come to expect.”

LifeSize is also in the final stages of earning the Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 (FIPS 140-2).

LifeSize offers a complete portfolio of secure, high-definition video conferencing solutions with the ability to deliver up to full HD 1080p video communications and the robust features necessary to support continuity of operations, command and control, and emergency preparedness and response. LifeSize products also offer HD video communications under 768 kilobits per second, as well as the highest resolution available at any bandwidth.

LifeSize HD video conferencing solutions are currently installed in federal agencies such as the DoD, U.S. Army, the Department of Energy, NASA, the U.S. House of Representatives and DISA. Additional information regarding LifeSize solutions serving federal, state and local government agencies can be found at www.lifesize.com/government.

LifeSize Communications is a world leader in high definition video communications and telepresence. Founded by industry veterans in 2003, LifeSize pioneered high definition video communications to make communicating at a distance as natural and effective as being in the same room, for anyone, anywhere.
