"Once we realized we could no longer use the Apple streaming server, we had to expand our focus to other kinds of technology and products, including video conferencing solutions. In the end, the decision was down to LifeSize UVC Video Center and Echo 360, but only LifeSize Video Center had all of the requirements we were looking for: integration with a Crestron control system, individual recording keys associated with Active Directory users and groups, ease of use, and most importantly, the ability to live stream and view a recorded session immediately."
"We are currently using seven systems at four branch offices, and our staff has quickly recognized the advantages of video conferencing."
"Smart Lease was an integral part of executing this solution and in turn, connecting Alpha’s geographically diverse team. This program satisfies IT because they can get what they need without the fear of rapid change and CFOs approve it because it doesn’t impact their balance sheet. Smart Lease is win-win."
"Video conferencing has changed the life of that child. HD video collaboration opens a new door to educational opportunities."
"Once we saw the Lifesize system in action for ourselves, we realized that it was exactly what we needed. It was tremendous video that would be ideal in the classroom setting. It wasn’t long before we placed an initial order and overhauled our entire video environment."
"The way we see it, face-to-face communication is always better than any other method. With audio conferencing, participants can tune out and get distracted. Video enables more engaging, productive conversations."
"Before we started using video, interoffice working could be somewhat disjointed. Now, everyone can jump in a room, see their peers and discuss projects in real-time."
"We wanted a system that would allow multiple contacts to dial in across the branch network so that it could be used for activities such as weekly sales meetings, branch management and board meetings."
"We’ve saved hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in travel expenses. I can’t even begin to quantify the huge savings and great efficiencies we’ve acquired."
"As soon as you see someone’s face, communication immediately becomes more personal."
"Before we purchased LifeSize, we would only get the chance to see our remote colleagues once a year at the company holiday party, With video conferencing, we feel more connected than ever before which has led to a tighter, more cohesive business overall."
"The dedicated LifeSize video conference facility simplifies the process of arranging and holding meetings."
"With LifeSize Video Center, the mayor can stream live video or share recorded video online directly to the public any time, not just during press conferences. They also share city council meetings and other PEG network programming via LifeSize Video Center so that those who do not have cable can access these messages from any device via the Internet."
"LifeSize is, and will continue to be, instrumental in the vitality of our community."
"The cost savings are great but what’s even more relevant to our Members is that they only had to give up half a day for the meeting rather than sacrificing three or four days."
