Nortel Carrier VoIP and Application Solutions (CVAS) has added a new web based UC collaboration application to its Hosted IP Communications Solution, which it claims to enable service providers to increase subscriber productivity and generate incremental revenues by allowing users to shift from conference calls to full, rich-media web collaboration.
According to Nortel, the new application will allow users to launch a full suite of collaboration services such as application sharing, document presentation, interactive whiteboards, public and private chat, polling/surveying, synchronised web browsing and desktop sharing. In addition, the new offering allows multiple presenters and collaboration sessions to take place at the same time.
In addition, the new application incorporates Dimdim’s web conferencing platform into Nortel CVAS Adaptive Unified Communications Application, which is a key component of Nortel CVAS Hosted IP Communications solution. Dimdim’s platform enables real-time, rich-media collaboration and meeting sessions, the company said.
Nortel CVAS Adaptive UC Application offers integrated voice, personalised audio/video conferencing bridges, web based portals and is offered in multiple environments including Microsoft OCS, Lotus Sametime and standalone UC configurations.
Samih Elhage, president of CVAS at Nortel, said: “Nortel CVAS Hosted IP Communications solution is unlocking new modes of communication and collaboration by eliminating the need for users to work with disparate and disconnected tools and services.
“Now when workers are speaking with each other and find that a richer collaborative environment is necessary, there is virtually zero time delay between decision to collaborate and collaboration. Our new application allows people to interact and collaborate virtually, almost as if they were in the same room. It also helps to improve business productivity and arms service providers with the means to increase subscriber loyalty and revenue potential.”
