Videoconferencing

Implementing a videoconference system will significantly reduce your travel costs, as your employees from different locations will not have to travel long distances to get to meetings any more. Many corporations have realized that with videoconference systems they can keep personal contact with their employees as well as react to the situation in the market with much more flexibility, which gives them a competitive edge. Videoconferences allow people to meet more often than they could before, and make important decisions at the right moment (without having to wait until they meet in person again), which boosts company productivity.

The most frequent use of videoconferences is for regular staff meetings. They can save a lot of your time and substantially reduce your travel costs. Furthermore, they can be great help with various staff courses and trainings, as the trainer does not have to go to every one of your offices separately any more, and you do not have to bother with organizing extra sessions because your training room is just too small for everybody to fit in.

Videoconferencing technologies deliver live, immersive communication experiences - as if all of the conference participants were sitting in the same room as you. There is a camera installed in each of the conference rooms, transmitting real time images to the other room(s). This kind of videoconference can be attended by anybody from any number of your company offices or external locations.

Videoconferences are not just a top management privilege any longer - they are now more and more used by company staff for everyday communication, cooperation on projects and regular language courses.

ANECT a.s. implements videoconference systems on both national and international level - point-to-point as well as point-to-multipoint.

Why is ANECT a.s. a suitable provider?

ANECT a.s. has profound know‑how from many successful videoconference implementations.

We offer a unique opportunity to come and try videoconferencing "live". We have virtual meeting rooms in our offices in Prague, Brno and Bratislava, and use them for our internal communication.

We can also provide a financial analysis - ROI calculations for videoconference deployment and use.

The process of videoconference system implementation

The whole implementation process is managed by ANECT´s specialists. Because videoconferencing is a specific and demanding concept, everything is always defined before the project is kicked off. When the implementation is finished, the solution is always audited by our specialists, who issue a quality certificate.

The process of videoconference implementation consists of the following stages:

1. Infrastructure analysis
   First and foremost, ANECT´s experts will analyze your existing infrastructure and recommend the changes of your information system that are necessary for the implementation of this type of long-distance communication technology.
2. Conference room analysis
   Also the rooms that you have designated for videoconferencing will be carefully examined to make sure they are ready for the deployment.
3. Recommendation
   The complex analyses of your infrastructure and potential videoconferencing rooms provide ANECT a.s. with all the data needed for the next stages of the project. At this point, ANECT a.s. makes a list of changes that are necessary for non-problem operation of the videoconferencing technology.
4. Proposal and implementation
   When your infrastructure is upgraded and the rooms are ready, the process of implementation is proposed and the technology deployed.
5. After-sale technical support
   At the end of the implementation, ANECT a.s. makes an offer to provide technical support services included in its technical support package (ANECT SUPPORT): remote network monitoring, professional support, ICT servicing, outsourced services etc.

In what ways can the service be provided?
