Soitron, a.s., the winner of the IT Firm of the Year 2010 Award, introduced its new vision for inter-company communication in 2015. Managers are expected to travel less while increasing their productivity, thereby helping to preserve the environment.
The need to communicate and exchange information is key for all modern firms. Costs resulting from frequent travelling burden not only the firm’s balance sheets, but work-related efficiency and the environment as well. While technological advances have made it possible to communicate over long distances, they have not succeeded to replace personal interaction and the advantages resulting thereof.
The Slovak company Soitron has established branches in the Czech Republic and Romania. The firm’s expansion as well as the necessity to participate in meetings on a regular basis has led to an increased need to travel. Meetings of executives along with the cooperation and coordination among respective teams have become ever more expensive, thus placing a heavy burden on the firm’s time and finances. Communication via email, telephone and regular videoconferencing have failed to sufficiently replace the personal meetings, thereby forcing the executives to spend even more time travelling.
Soitron, in its endeavor to increase the efficiency of the inter-company communication and to unload the firm’s balance sheets, has commenced the integration of the Cisco TelePresence solution. The successful facilitation of the long-distance meetings has delivered the quality of communication to the level that is usually reached only with participants sitting at the same table. This type of communication can be utilized at the meetings of management, job interviews for international vacancies, virtual team meetings, regular and/or ad hoc project meetings, as well as seminars, consultations and other forms of professional training.
The TelePresence technology and its benefits
Cisco TelePresence is a communication tool that pushes the present limits of traditional videoconferencing, making it ever more efficient, simpler and faster. TelePresence utilizes the most recent technology to enable distant conference participants to communicate with the authenticity of a conference table meeting as the “face-to-face” is often the best way to communicate.
Introducing Cisco TelePresence has brought the real “face-to-face” feel to inter-company communication in Soitron without the need to travel, thereby helping to save the precious working time. The management as well as respective team members from different locations can meet at any time if the need arises. As a result, the new fully-fledged means of communication have made it possible to reach consensus and arrive at a variety of solutions quickly.
Soitron continues to spread TelePresence
Soitron plans to take advantage of its knowledge and experience while integrating the TelePresence technology into the Slovak environment. Only exclusive licensed partners who meet the TelePresence ATP (Authorized Technology Partner) program criteria can implement the Cisco TelePresence products. The ATP for Slovakia is Soitron (Cisco Partner Locator).
The implemented technology promises to deliver the advantages and undisputed benefits of the personal meeting at substantially reduced travelling costs. The company realizes that many Slovak firms currently face a situation similar to that of Soitron. Doing business requires reliable connection of people from a variety of remote places, and forces them to make decisions quickly.
The TelePresence technology facilitates the beginning of a new era in which it will be possible to carry out personal meetings without the need to travel. It reflects the trend of work efficiency along with the effort to cut expenditures and save the environment.
