Telecom Lead America: InterCall, a subsidiary of
West Corporation and a conferencing and collaboration
services provider, has entered into a partnership with Blue Jeans Network,
a provider of interoperable video conferencing services.
The partnership will allow InterCall to offer
the Blue Jeans service to its customers worldwide, supplementing
InterCall’s leading portfolio of audio and web conferencing services with Blue
Jeans’ robust multi-party video conferencing.
This new service eliminates the challenges that often
make video conferencing difficult. By allowing users to join a meeting from
various devices and platforms, video conferencing is now a more viable meeting
choice than ever before,” said Robert Bellmar, senior vice president of
conferencing and collaboration for InterCall.
Through this partnership with Blue Jeans Network,
InterCall allows users to connect to meetings via services such as Cisco,
Google, Microsoft Lync, Polycom, and Skype, regardless of the hosting platform.
The service is cloud-based, and customers familiar with
InterCall’s Reservationless-Plus audio conferencing platform will
find it just as accessible and easy to use.
The Blue Jeans conferencing service provides a
cost-effective, scalable solution that enables workers to collaborate within
the enterprise and beyond.
Blue Jeans is a cloud-based offering and lets customers
avoid the high costs and complexities associated with traditional on-premises
bridging solutions.
Partnering with InterCall allows us to serve more
customers who are in need of easy-to-use and accessible video conferencing solutions.
Since the Blue Jeans conferencing service is cloud-based, there is no new
hardware to deploy or software to download. A few clicks is all it takes to
schedule, host, join and run meetings,” said Krish Ramakrishnan, CEO of Blue
Jeans Network.
