Simplify Video Communications with BlueJeans Huddle
In the past, launching a video conference was often a lengthy, expensive, and inconvenient proposition, which often required an entire room, a handful of compatible devices, and a lengthy setup time. But that was when video conferencing was in its infancy. Nowadays, video communications are much easier, convenient and affordable, thanks to the video conferencing functionalities integrated into many Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone systems.
One provider in particular is seeking to simplify and streamline video communications even further to meet the demands of today's businesses. BlueJeans Network, a global leader in cloud-based video communications services, recently launched BlueJeans Huddle, a cloud-connected video system that makes it easy for team members to initiate and participate in a video conference.
Video Communications Made Easy
Introduced this past December, the BlueJeans Huddle system offers a fast and simple way for teams to meet. The new platform combines standard hardware and BlueJeans proprietary software, which enables users to transform any room into an interactive meeting space for a fraction of the cost and complexity offered by traditional group video systems.
Krish Ramakrishnan, CEO of BlueJeans Network, says it is the company’s belief that video communications should be simple, efficient and intelligent. "Huddle was designed from the ground up to remove all obstacles to live video adoption while adding features that help facilitate productivity. The result is a system that essentially gives every employee his or her own personal assistant for each meeting and takes away the video tax," Ramakrishnan explained.
Why BlueJeans Huddle
BlueJeans has been offering different video conferencing solutions over the past number of years. But Huddle is a unique platform that it is specially designed for smaller teams, organizations employing a mobile workforce, or for those businesses with open-concept workplaces. The platform is primarily aimed at removing the obstacles or “taxes” to live video adoption. These include the hassles of setting up or configuring equipment, the difficulty of scaling systems, and the lack of interoperability among video conferencing systems and devices.
