GBH Communications Assists Leading Global Electronics Company Reduce Travel Expenses by 50%

April 24, 2009

GBH Communications, Inc., a nationally recognized leader in collaboration and conferencing products, solutions, and services recently provided Video Conferencing equipment and managed services to a leading global electronics company. This customer approached GBH to coordinate a large scale project to include planning, testing and implementing the use of HD Video Communications for their quarterly companywide town hall meeting. The objective of this project was to cut corporate travel expenses for this event by 50%.

GBH communications created a thorough plan to utilize current audio and web conferencing applications together with new HD Video endpoints manufactured by Lifesize, a leading HD Video Communications provider. GBH managed a testing environment for an executive meeting to showcase the ease of use and high quality expected from the HD Video platform. Executives at the meeting were pleased with the performance and requested GBH facilitate the large scale town hall meeting which brought together multiple office locations in the United States and the United Kingdom. GBH was awarded the contract to provide multiple endpoints, infrastructure items and desktop video applications in many facilities in the US and internationally. This fortune 500 customer was impressed by GBH and their ability to plan and implement such a high visibility project with multiple locations and contacts. The end result was a savings of over $100,000 in travel expenses for the corporate event.

"We are excited to be a part of such ground-breaking video projects, especially those facilitated with companies that have many international locations. Although, logistically these projects may pose a challenge for some conferencing providers, GBH has the experience, expertise and people necessary to provide our customers seamless integration while supporting them every step of the way," says Von Bedikian, President and CEO of GBH Communications. "We are proud to be the conferencing source that so many Fortune 500 companies turn to for video implementations, large and small."
