New Delhi, Jul 10 (KNN)  Tata Communications recently launched jamvee conferencing, a multi-device compatible cloud-based video conferencing service that allows anyone to take part in a video meeting from any location via a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone or a dedicated Telepresence room.

It is an easy-to-use, on demand business video service for enterprises and professionals that brings together all video platforms, devices and operating systems.

“Delivered through the world’s only fibre optic cable ring aroung the globe,  jamvee is a truly a global video conferencing tool for enterprises that makes video conferencing - both within and between companies - as easy as making a traditional audio conferencing call. Now making a multi-person business call from home, your office or even on route to the airport has never been so easy,” said a press release.

How is Jamvee different?  Every jamvee video meeting is carried across the world's largest and furthest-reaching undersea cable network. This robust connectivity backbone ensures consistent global access and reliability needed by enterprises and professionals for crisp, secure and hassle-free video collaboration - whether at the office, at home, or on the move.

Highlighting Jamvee’s strengths, President and CTO Tata Communications John Hayduk said, "Lack of interoperability, consistency of experience per location, complicated price plans and the need for third-party reservations have stood in the way of truly global enterprise collaboration.

“Jamvee overcomes these barriers by making video conferences easy and on-demand, while seamlessly bringing together all video platforms, room systems and endpoints in a simple, as-you-need it and elastic pre-packaged service. It's so easy to use, instant and affordable. It's what enterprises have been asking for," he added.

The jamvee software application is compatible with Windows, OSX software-based devices, iPhone and iPad devices - with Android software support following in August 2013.

Up to 46 participants can join each conference at the touch of a button, bringing globally dispersed teams in fast-moving businesses closer together than ever before as the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) culture continues to gather pace.

So how does it work? Just like an audio conference you can access host and participant PINs on the jamvee portal, and send the participant PIN to people you want to meet with.

Participants can then use any existing video system or Telepresence room that they have access to, or they simply download the free jamvee app from the Apple App Store or the  jamvee portal. 

Everyone taking part in the meeting just dials the same number (or in the case of the jamvee app, presses the ‘Join Conference’ button) and enters their PIN to join the meeting - ensuring secure and private meetings both within your business and across multiple organisations / parties.

With today's mobile workforce, video conferencing is becoming increasingly popular amongst organisations as a way to increase productivity.  (KNN)
