The telecom company will deliver to Nestle a
fully-managed video conferencing service running on its global MPLS
network.
BT has recently announced the signing of an agreement with
Nestle to connect its global offices using the next-generation
high-end video conferencing services. Under the terms of the
agreement, BT will deliver to Nestle a fully-managed video
conferencing service comprised of Cisco TelePresence technology
running on BT’s global Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
network.
“We are delighted to be able to help Nestlé make
substantial savings on travel costs. This latest project with
Nestlé is a further proof of the strong relationship we have
built over the years, connecting the company’s operations in
far flung places around the world,” said Olivier Campenon, BT
President, EMEA.
The deal also includes complete on-going support using BT's
Video Business Unit (VBU) Concierge service. The solution, which
will initially connect Nestlé’s global hubs, will use
high-definition video and multi-dimensional sound to offer a high
quality video conferencing experience. The system can give users
the feeling of being in the same room as the other participants,
whether those participants happen to be on the other side of town
or the other side of the world.
Further to improving international meeting efficiency, Nestle
expects the new system to help the company reduce travel costs and
improve productivity through improved collaboration between
geographically dispersed teams.
