vc-net - the collaboration company

Effort in collaboration should go into the work itself, not into making collaboration work. Face to face meetings are the most valuable communication but for everything else we need to remove the effort from collaboration and let it happen where people are for most of their job: at their desk.

Desktop collaboration is more than just video conferencing. By integrating tools like instant messaging, audio or web conferencing, with document sharing tools and servers to create a collaboration space, teams can work virtually together without having to move rooms.

vc-net brings affordable tools and solutions right to your own desk. No more moving into a dedicated video or audio conferencing room. You can work with your colleagues across the world as effectively as if they actually sat in the office next door to you.

We offer a complete desktop solution tailored to your organisation’s specific needs. We do this by combining the best products on the market, which will work out more cost effectively than if you bought and implemented these products individually. Because we know these products inside-out we can also offer the best integration between them to make sure you gain the return you look for from the beginning.

We also look for the areas that might easily be neglected when you look at implementing a desktop collaboration solution. Have you thought about:

• Your network? We can provide a dedicated network for video across either ISDN and IP, or help you to setup or change you own network so that it can compete with the demands of desktop collaboration
• Your hardware? If you wish we can offer advice on the best types of hardware for the desktop including cameras and microphones
• Your Gateway ISDN to IP? We can provide service led, or hardware provisioned Gateways so that users can communicate from their desktops to other communications mediums, such as ISDN/IP based Video, 3G Mobile phones, standard phones and VoIP

Some of the products that we recommend for use for desktop collaboration include:

• Microsoft Office Communication Server
• Cisco MeetingPlace
• VisualNexus
• Radvision SCOPIA Desktop
• HubMeeting
