VideoCentric
opens new Edinburgh office
London,
UK - August 7th 2007
- VideoCentric,
one of the UK’s leading videoconferencing
integrators has announced a new Edinburgh
address for its expansion of activities in
Scotland. The move will add further presence
for the top manufacturers, Polycom and Tandberg
and give extra weight to other manufacturers
such as Lifesize, RADVision, Codian, Emblaze-VCON,
Aethra and Sony through the services VideoCentric
is now able to supply across the whole of
the UK.
Founded
in 2001, VideoCentric’s video conferencing
roots go back to the early 1980s when its
directors were involved in VC codec design
and development. VideoCentric has long enjoyed
early access to new products as they emerge
to the market and HD systems are no exception.
Virtually all HDVC systems are currently demonstrated
by VideoCentric to end users, and relationships
with regional resellers have also added to
their successful expansion over the last 6
years.
“The
new office in Albany Street, central Edinburgh
is just 2 minutes walk from Princes Street
and Waverley Station and so customers wishing
to see a live demonstration or hire a video
conferencing facility for an hour or so, are
now better served than ever before”
said David Shimell, Sales Director for VideoCentric.
He added, “The new office is beautifully
appointed and its re-fitted boardroom is suitable
for top executives to hire with or without
the use of videoconferencing system and plasma
screen. Our presence in Scotland is an indication
of our commitment and dedication to the VC
market and to our partners who are looking
for more presence in the legal, financial,
insurance and leisure sectors, but we will
also be focusing on our traditional markets
in education and healthcare.”
The
Edinburgh office will be linked by high speed
Internet to VideoCentric’s Thames Valley
office, which already has all the latest products
available for remote demonstration. Existing
customers with older systems will also be
able to check interoperability by dialing
into VideoCentric’s 24 hour test facility.
The North-South link gives the Edinburgh office
IP access to ISDN breakout services, 3G, mobile,
desktop and a wide range of Multi-Point features
through centralised network servers which
represents the way in which most large organisations
are now setting up their videoconferencing
architecture.
