Nestlé reduces costs with video conferencing
By Asavin Wattanajantra,
Nestlé offices around the world plan to communicate via video conferencing rather than travelling to meetings, reducing both costs and environmental impact.
The company, known for some of the UK’s popular brands, including Nescafé, KitKat and Shredded Wheat, has called on BT to help roll out the technology from Cisco.
It’s claimed that high definition (HD) video and multi-dimensional sound will give Nestlé employees the feeling of being in the same room as other workers around the globe.
To do this, Cisco TelePresence technology will run on BT’s Multi Protocol Switching (MPLS) network.
Nestlé also expects the system to reduce travel costs as well as improve productivity thanks to better collaboration among teams in different countries.
Recently, BT Business opened three HD telepresence centres in London, New York and Denver, showcasing software that allowed different companies to connect with each other using Cisco Telepresence connections.
