BT Conferencing adds video platform to its service

BT Conferencing, a global provider of collaboration services, has announced an extension of its Unified Communications (UC) portfolio through the introduction of Kontiki's enterprise video solutions.

The video solutions include live video webcasting and video on demand services with enterprise-grade management and control.

"Video is becoming a 'must have' tool for business communication programs, and the new BT solution offers a natural step for customers who are already using collaboration services and want to add or expand the use of live video webcasting or video on-demand to their company-wide events," Aaron McCormack, CEO, BT Conferencing, said.

Besides enabling live video webcasting and video-on demand, Kontiki's makes content available on a video community for search and social networking.

Kontiki's enterprise video platform is used across sectors such as financial services, retail, technology, telecommunications and manufacturing.

"Video is delivering real ROI in the enterprise and doesn't have to be complicated, it can be as easy as email with no impact on existing network traffic," said Eric Armstrong, president and CEO of Kontiki.
