The UC team at Exertis has notched up record conferencing sales over the past year following a programme of partner education designed to help resellers attach more conferencing solutions to existing and new UC system installations.
Demand for all kinds of conferencing solutions, from traditional audio conferencing to high end video conferencing and collaboration, reflects the estimations of industry analysts who forecast the global video conferencing market to grow to over $6bn by 2020.
Michael Thompson, Head of UC Devices, said: "Conferencing is at the heart of modern UC&C solutions. It has to be the centrepiece of any enterprise strategy and there is a growing need to integrate audio and video conferencing devices into the overall communications solution."
Key growth areas include a number of vertical markets including education, where distance or web based learning adopt video as part of the delivery mechanism; healthcare for remote patient monitoring and consultation and media industries where the streaming of interactive events is in ever increasing demand.
Exertis has also witnessed increasing demand for a new breed of products for remote meetings, the personal speaker phone, a portable unit designed for mobile workers who need to attend online meetings 'on the go'.
