Organisations in Brazil, Argentina, USA and UK
offered access to Cisco Telepresence Systems for Critical Business
Meetings
Slough, UK, 20 April 2010 – International
solutions provider, Logicalis, today announced that as the business
travel impact of the Icelandic volcanic eruption continues, it has
opened its network of internal Cisco Telepresence suites to
customers across the globe, allowing organisations to conduct ‘face
to face’ meetings through the use of the Cisco Telepresence
experience.
Logicalis has Telepresence suites in San Paulo - Brazil, Buenos
Aires - Argentina, Farmington Hills - Michigan, USA, and in Slough
- United Kingdom.
“Logicalis invested in Telepresence systems to give more time
back to our executives and employees, allowing them to conduct
vital business meetings without the cost and time implications of
global travel. This technology is as good as sitting directly in
front of a colleague, customer, or supplier, and many of our
customers will now have an urgent need to hold face to face
meetings in the coming days and weeks.
“With flights expected to take weeks to return to normal, we
would like to assist our customers in any way we can, starting with
opening up our Telepresence suites on both sides of the Atlantic,”
said Chris Gabriel, Director of Marketing and Solutions, Logicalis
UK.
To support its customers, Logicalis will provide flexible access
to its facilities during the coming weeks. Organisations should
contact their local Logicalis office for more information.
