  • Video Telephony Opportunities Offerings
    Video Telephony: Opportunities and Offerings in the New Video Age Executive Summary A new model for video usage is emerging that is mainstream, user-oriented, ad hoc, on demand, desktop-based, and integrated into the daily workflow. Video telephony provides desktop video devices the same call control functionality usually found in voice telephony solutions, including call transfer, call hold, call forward, mute, and conference. Because video telephony integrates into the voice telephony infrastructure and network, placing a call with video becomes as easy and reliable as making a phone call. Video telephony is very different from group videoconferencing, and we explain these distinctions. We describe the technology and market forces that are combining to drive wide scale video telephony adoption by enterprises and consumers. We describe how video telephony is deployed using telephony platforms like that from BroadSoft, and we provide a glimpse into new products and services offerings that video telephony makes possible. Introduction People will change their habits quickly when they have a strong reason to do so, and people have an innate urge to connect with other people… And when you give people a new way to connect with other people, they will punch through any technical barrier, they will learn new languages…people are wired to want to connect with other people and they find it objectionable not to be able to. Thomas L. Freedman, “The World is Flat”1 To satisfy the innate need people have to connect with other people, a new kind of communications paradigm is emerging based around the concept of unified communications.
