A leading South African-based information communication technology (ICT) service provider, ATIO, a Microsoft Gold and Unified Communications partner, has further enhanced its UC portfolio by adding Microsoft's latest, affordable video conferencing solution.
“The solution caters for SME and enterprise customers alike especially in the sub-12 attendees per boardroom (with no limit to the number of boardrooms where the units are deployed) and where mobility is required. At a price tag of approximately R30 000 per device and tight integration to OCS, Exchange and Office Live Meeting 2007, it makes a lot of sense. With RoundTable, users can record entire meetings, including the panoramic view, active speaker view and shared slides, enabling meetings to be transformed into corporate assets that can be shared and played back at any time,” says Neville Quinton, Business Unit Executive, ATIO.
Microsoft RoundTable is a sophisticated collaboration and conferencing tool that provides participants with an engaging and immersive remote meeting experience. It is compatible with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 or the 2007 version of Microsoft Office Live Meeting, providing the meeting delegates with a 360-degree view of the conference room, high-quality audio, and video that tracks the flow of conversation among multiple presenters.
“With RoundTable, companies can transform their meetings into corporate assets. You will be able to record your meeting's content with one click and use the meeting content later on. Users reviewing the content can at some later time see complete audio, video, and shared content, which enables them to fast-forward or rewind through the meeting on-demand,” says Danie Gordon, Microsoft Unified Communication Product Manager.
