JSC Moscow Metrostroy (Mosmetrostroy) is the founder of the domestic metro construction and the leading organization for the construction of metro systems in the country. The company has the resources to carry out a wide range of technically complex underground, track-laying, assembly, architectural, finishing and many other works including the production of building materials. Today Mosmetrostroy successfully participates not only in Russian but also in foreign projects.
Project goals and essues
The IT department of Mosmetrostroy was faced with the task of quickly deploying a high quality video conferencing system for 30 users. At the same time it was critically important for the customer to be able to display images of the maximum number of participants in the meeting room of head office.
Also the solutions had to work seamlessly with the equipment already available in the company and be easy to operate guarantee stable uninterrapted operation and at the same time be distinguished by a reasonable price.
Project implementation and results
IT specialists of Metrostroy approached the task throughly and tested several solutions from various manufacturers but none of them was able to provide video communication of the required quality. There were also some difficulties in obtaining prompt and competent support for the tested products.
When contacting Vinteo for the first time the company representatives demonstrated the capabilities of the video server clarified the customer's needs and offered solutions to the tasks. The very next day Vinteo experts trained a Metrostroy specialist to manage the video conferencing server and promptly held the first videro conference for more than 20 subscribers on a demo version of the Vinteo server. The hardware platform imstallation process was also painless and quick. But most of all the customer was surprised by the fact that the Russian for very reasonable moneywas able to compete with the best foreign counterparts from the market leaders.
Metrostroy recommends Vinteo server for companies with more than five remote offices or with remotely working agents. The customer was convinced by own example that this solution shows its best quality wherever high quality video and voice multipoint two-way conferencing is needed and where terminal or server devices from leaders: Cisco/Tanberg, Polycom, LifeSize, Awaya, etc. are already used.
