Sify Technologies and Vidyo, Inc today launched Sify videomeet, a new-generation video conferencing-as-a-service for enterprises and emerging businesses.

This service, powered by Vidyo, allows users to initiate and experience high-definition, multi-point video collaboration beyond conventional conference rooms, without dedicated networks and on multiple devices – mobile phones, tablets, desktops, laptops and room systems. The adoption of this service does not entail any capital expenditure for the customers.

This service offers a telepresence-quality experience to users on the move, from any device (mobile/tablet/laptop). The highlight of this offering is the seamless adaptability to network vagaries.

Sify videomeet will enable emerging businesses and enterprises to have video conferencing at less than Rs 3 per minute. Customers could pay a fixed rental for getting unlimited video conferencing access or avail themselves of the ‘pay-per-use’ option. This service also eliminates the need for any other video conferencing device at the premises of the customer.

Mr Daniel Alex, Senior V-P, Network services, Sify Technologies, said: "This new-generation service will empower enterprises of all sizes to collaborate cost-effectively and in a secure manner."

Mr Ashish Gupta, CMO & SVP of Corporate Development, Vidyo Inc, said: "With the growing penetration of smartphones, laptops and tablets in the region, Vidyo’s software-based approach to video conferencing on multiple devices over non-dedicated networks is the ideal solution for the market in India."
