BT and Verizon Enterprise Solutions are extending the range of their telepresence immersive-video offerings to enable virtual face-to-face collaboration in more locations around the world to meet the growing demand of businesses for video communications.

Under a new agreement, customers of Verizon and BT are now able to communicate with each other via Cisco TelePresence. This new capability expands the community, helps clients collaborate globally and improves productivity.

Sandra O'Boyle, Service Director, Business Network and IT services, Current Analysis said, "This initiative between BT and Verizon opens up new opportunities for enterprises to collaborate across their premium video platforms and will help multinational customers make the most of their Cisco TelePresence System investments."

Mike Palmer, VP of Product Strategy for Verizon Enterprise Solutions said, "This agreement makes video communications more widely available to meet the needs of the evolving nature of work. We believe that enabling customers to communicate across networks will speed the adoption of video communications and that one day it will become as ubiquitous as voice communications. As businesses adopt collaboration and mobility technologies to expand beyond the four walls of a traditional office, we're seeing more of our customers turning to advanced collaboration tools like telepresence to help boost their overall productivity and performance."

Rich Lowe, CEO of BT Conferencing said, "This agreement, the latest expansion of the video industry's connectivity capabilities, is an important step forward. Being able to connect across telepresence networks greatly expands the reach and value of the service. The more locations customers can reach, the greater the business benefits and the more quickly they can realize return on their video investment."
