Many companies of all sizes now regularly use video conferencing as an integral part of their day to day communications, almost like using the telephone. Many of our customers are just such companies, placing thousands of video calls on a daily basis and with staff at all levels participating.

Others may be new to video conferencing. Whichever situation you are currently in, the key to its success as a business tool is that people at all levels must feel comfortable using it. It must be easy to use and must work reliably.

There are many VC equipment suppliers who can supply the hardware, plug it in and get it working. However, if you want a system which works reliably without the need for a technician to help people connect their computer to the system, for example, you need the kind of expertise that Carillion can bring to the party. We are one of the UK’s leading systems integrators with a background in broadcasting, so excellent quality pictures and sound and seamless integration of VC with existing or new AV facilities, are standard in Carillion installations.

We look after the on-going global video conference requirements for many large corporates and government departments. We also do lots of individual installations for smaller companies.

Many large existing users of VC are now either already benefiting from migrating their video networks to operate over IP or actively investigating it, and this is an area which needs a lot of experience and expertise and Carillion have it.

If you are new to VC, the following are typical of the kind of questions to which you will need answers:

• How many people will use the system?
• How many lines do I need?
• Can I conference to more than one other site?
• Where do we locate the screens?
• Should we use TV monitors, plasma screens or a wall screen?
• Is the existing lighting good enough for VC?
• How do I integrate my existing AV set up?
• Can I share data?
• Can I connect to our LAN?
• Etc.

We are expert at asking the questions which help you to identify how you want to work and what you wish to achieve from your system. So ask us!
