Cost-effective video conferencing is penetrating deeper across the country thanks to a new ‘pay monthly’ plan from Videonations.
The audio, visual and video conferencing specialists have teamed-up with Lifesize, a global innovator of video conferencing technology, to remove traditional barriers of adoption caused by upfront, large financial investments. Instead, customers can now take advantage of a monthly payment plan through Videonations that makes paying for cloud-based video conferencing as easy as using it.
Adam Feakins, Head of Sales and Operations at Videonations says when video conferencing works well, it naturally becomes a part of every meeting – and thanks to Lifesize technology, a lifelike and natural meeting experience is always created.
“If you’ve got a phone, tablet or a laptop, you’ve got a seat at the virtual meeting, wherever you are. From the meeting room, to the office and on the go, Lifesize video conferencing and collaboration solutions let you stay connected and meet the way you want to meet.”
He added:
“In the past, many organisations were put off by a large financial outlay, but now we can make paying for video conferencing as easy as using it. In response to the changing face of video conferencing, Videonations have now decided to offer Lifesize app subscriptions on an OPEX model allowing our clients to consume video conferencing on a pay-monthly basis.
Historically, video conferencing has been seen as a CAPEX purchase which has limited the potential client base and meant video conferencing was seen as a large and costly expenditure dealt with as a project.”
Adam concluded:
“Now that the technology can be purchased through operating expenditure, many of the traditional barriers of deployment have been removed. As a result, the appeal and penetration of video conferencing is spreading to all areas of the country with organisations big and small embracing high-definition video communication, often for the first time.”
