Hayes Purchases Vidyo Video Conferencing System
April 8th, 2009 by Video Conferencing Expert
Hayes Pumps, one of the largest distributors of pumps in the country has purchased a complete personal telepresence and video conferencing solution from Vidyo, a video conferencing company who’s services close the gap between typical video conferencing systems and large and expensive telepresence systems. The “personal telepresence” offered by Vidyo will be a major component of the company’s communications systems to stay in touch with over 20 different remote suppliers.
Hayes Pump CEO, Eric Zadravec:
We had been using another, well-known HD video conferencing product since 2007, but we soon realized that it had some very serious limitations. The cost of growing that room-based system was problematic, and the fact that we wanted to expand our network to support internal communications as well as external, clinched our decision to investigate other possibilities. Our existing system did not have a desktop video conferencing option, and we needed to be able to offer video communications to our remote team via their desktops and laptops; not just through a room system. After trying the Vidyo system and experiencing its ease of use and crisp HD quality, for both room and desktop video conferencing, we canceled our plans to order additional equipment from the other company.
Many companies are switching to Vidyo’s video conferencing services because of its ease of use and the versatility the service provides. The system can be used for individual use on a PC or in a full-scale telpresence conferencing room.
While Hayes is currently using the conferencing service for internal communications, it does plan to expand the reach of the technology and in the future use it to collaborate with engineering firms, customers and other partners to reduce expenses and increase productivity.
