Tata Comm CWT tie up in telepresence

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT), a business travel management firm, and Tata Communications today announced that they would team up to provide CWT Telepresence, an enhancement to the company’s broader demand management offering which will allow CWT clients to access the Tata Communications network of public Cisco TelePresence Suites around the world.

In an economic environment that requires companies to look for ways to reduce costs, the clients now have an additional solution for effectively managing their travel and meeting expenditures while realizing their business objectives, said a press release. Furthermore, CWT Telepresence offers flexibility, enabling organizations to bring together employees who might not ordinarily travel to participate in meetings.

CWT Telepresence offers clients a full range of services from help in determining if and when a virtual meeting meets their business needs, through management of the reservations process in any of Tata Communications’ public telepresence rooms, to regular reporting on adoption and related cost savings. In addition, CWT reinforces its position as a leading integrator of top-tier technology that enables clients to optimize their travel and meeting programs.

“CWT recognizes the intense pressure corporations are facing to contain rising travel and related costs and maximize return on investment,” said Pauline Quéré, CWT vice president, Customer Product Marketing.

John Landau, senior vice president, Global Managed Services for Tata Communications, added: “Tata Communications became the world’s first provider of public Cisco TelePresence Suites in July 2008. Today, we offer state-of-the-art private and public rooms that enable companies to boost their productivity, cut costs, and conduct meetings as often as needed while reducing their carbon footprint. Furthermore, the seamless interconnectivity of our private and public rooms through our telepresence exchange minimizes distances across the globe and brings more people together quickly and easily.

Tata Communications’ managed telepresence technology allows small groups to use high-definition video and real-time audio to meet at any time of the day or night while in multiple locations worldwide. In addition to connecting and managing on-site private telepresence facilities for companies worldwide, Tata Communications manages several public rooms available on a pay-per-use basis in the United States, England, India, South Africa and the Philippines.

CWT clients will also have access to Tata Communications’ Global Meeting Exchange (GMX). The GMX is designed to conveniently support business-to-business sessions on a global basis between any Cisco TelePresence rooms (public or private), irrespective of the network service provider.
