Goals and issues of the project
Until the end of 2015 the videoconferencing network was built on the basis of the Polycom videoconferencing server with 8 ports. The endpoint solutions were Polycom PVX software for video conferencing using a personal computer and a standard USB camera.
When came time to scale up the corporate video conferencing system, the customer was faced with the task of finding a high-quality, feature-rich server solution compatible with Polycom equipment.
Project implementation and results
As a result of complex testing TATNEFT made a choice in favor of Vinteo since the developer server not only meet all reqirements of the enterprise but also had a low price. The solution was so consistent with the tasks of the customer that he purchased 20 licenses for 2 years. The company regularly conducts video meetings and also uses the function of the recording video conferences and broadcasts them on the Internet which are additional free features on the Vinteo server.
