IHG Video Conferencing Investment to Increase Collaboration, Reduce T&E

IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) and AT&T announced have launched two new Telepresence rooms located at IHG's corporate offices in Atlanta and London. IHG expects the deployment of these rooms to increase regional collaboration, increase employee productivity and in turn allow employees to make decisions faster and more efficiently.

 

AT&T Telepresence Solution utilizes video conferencing technology to allow individuals to communicate face-to-face in real-time. Using the AT&T network, AT&T Telepresence Solution offers an "in-person" meeting experience with the push of a button. The business-to-business multipoint meet-me bridging capability allows businesses to transparently meet with customers, employees, suppliers and partners, in multiple locations around the world.

 

"Implementing regular use of Telepresence will improve our business's efficiency in the best way," says Bates Turpen, senior vice president global technology, IHG. "Our employees are able to work smarter and more efficiently by having the ability to connect with each other in a face-to-face setting, aiding the decision making process while still maintaining a sense of teamwork."
