INFOCOMM 2012, Las Vegas – June 13, 2012 — Vidyo, Inc., the first company to deliver personal telepresence, today announced it will deliver extended interoperability with Microsoft Lync, which will enable organizations that use Microsoft Lync to offer employees the benefits of the Vidyo platform. The VidyoConferencing™ infrastructure provides continuous presence video layout to the Lync client as well as enables Lync interoperability with legacy systems and Vidyo endpoints at price points and scale not available in the market today. This enhanced support will allow Lync users to work with Vidyo’s award-winning multipoint, HD video conferencing with the choice to use the most suitable endpoint for their collaboration meetings.
“The requirement for IT organizations to support hybrid environments for video conferencing with disparate desktop and mobile devices, room systems from multiple vendors, and geographic locations is increasing,” said Ashish Gupta, Vidyo’s CMO and SVP Corporate Development. “Extending the VidyoConferencing infrastructure to support Microsoft Lync will deliver multipoint conferencing and interoperability to Lync users at a lower cost than hardware-based legacy systems with up to seven fold savings.”
With the increasing number of people incorporating visual communication into their daily personal and work experiences, HD-quality video conferences are becoming the norm to many. In addition to delivering HD-quality experiences on a full range of devices, from smart phones and tablets to immersive telepresence rooms, Vidyo’s interoperability with Lync will allow organizations to have users join a Vidyo conference from any device.
“Different work roles have different needs in terms of video conferencing,” said Zeus Kerravala, Founder and Principal, ZK Research. “Vidyo meets the demands of those employees looking for multiparty conferences from heterogeneous endpoints and networks. The addition of Vidyo’s interoperability with Microsoft Lync gives a company’s CIO the option to provide the Vidyo solution to those who need to engage in HD-quality multipoint conferences, while at the same time gives them the ability to connect easily with other users on Lync or traditional VC solutions.”

- Ease of dialing into multi-party, multi-device and multi-vendor video conferences
