Scenario
With offices throughout the country and units in several major
cities in the world, Ione of the biggest private banks in Brazil
put out high costs with on-the-road executives, including
transportation, lodging, and most of all, time. To reduce these
costs, the financial institution has decided to improve and expand
the capabilities of video communications, investing in a
telepresence system.
Solution
Logicalis Brazil image collaboration solution, which combines
audio and video over IP network, was chosen to ensure that
executives could enjoy the same benefits of an in person meeting,
but would reduce the time and costs with constant
displacement.
More than 20 telepresence rooms were installed - of different sizes
and using various types of equipment - in Itau offices in Sao
Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Belo
Horizonte, London, New York and Miami.
Among the technologies used, are the Cisco CTS 3000 system - with
three 65 inch screens and up to 18 people capacity - Cisco CTS 1300
system - which features a 65 inch screen and can accommodate up to
six people simultaneously - and the individual Cisco CTS 500
system. In addition, the client’s proprietary videoconferencing
system was kept and integrated with the new equipment.
Results
The project
benefits are already being felt by the financial institution. In
2010, 653 meetings were held - more than two meetings per day -
which allowed 100 international trips not to be performed and
33,000 km of car movements were avoided. Besides the reduction in
operating costs, the solution has ensured faster decision making
and increased productivity.
