December 12th, 2008 by Video Conferencing Expert
Glowpoint, a video conferencing and collaboration company, annoucned today that it was renewed its contracts with several of the government’s largest agencies. Glowpoint’s IP-based services provide video conferencing communications to many government agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board which uses Glowpoint’s services in 50 different locations.
National Labor Relations Board Member, Rob White:
Glowpoint has been a trusted vendor and provider of our video services for over eight years.They have been very flexible in working with us to create service bundles that make it easy for us to work video into our budget each year. Glowpoint’s service has always been very reliable and their support has been unmatched.
In addition to the renewing existing contracts with government customers, Glowpoint has created many new contracts with other agencies, suggesting that the US government is starting to collaborate and communicate online more than before. Along with standard video conferencing solutions, Glowpoint offers full telepresence solutions, and is setting up 8 dedicated telepresence rooms for an undisclosed government agency.
Glowpoint President and COO, Joseph Laezza:
In the current economic climate, government agencies are especially sensitive to controlling costs and maximizing their budgets. Our unlimited usage model gives government agencies a way to increase their use of video communications without worrying about their communications costs rising as they use it. Glowpoint’s TEN is increasingly being seen as a key value point for government clients as they look toward more effective means of leveraging their use of video to connect with other government departments and outside companies.
Glowpoint’s current government contracts exceed $1 million in annual revenue.
