MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 12, 2016) - BlueJeans Network, the global leader in cloud-based video communication services, today unveiled the Enterprise Video Cloud, a comprehensive platform built for today's globally distributed, modern workforce with video communications at the core. New global research shows that 85% of employees are already using video in the workplace and 72% believe that video will transform the way they communicate at work.
"There is a transformation happening among business today -- face-to-face video is quickly rising as the preferred communications medium, offering new opportunities for deeper personal relations and outreach, as well as for improved internal and external collaboration," said Krish Ramakrishnan, CEO of BlueJeans. "Once people experience the power of video, they 'hang-up' on traditional conference calling. We are seeing this happen with the emergence of video cultures that power the most innovative cultures -- from Facebook and Netflix to Viacom and Del Monte."
Current video solutions are fragmented, siloed and prohibitively expensive, or not secure and reliable enough to be trusted by larger businesses. They are also simply too hard to use, forcing consumers of video to face steep learning curves and the "video tax", 10-15 minutes of lost time associated with setting up a video session before every meeting.
The BlueJeans Enterprise Video Cloud is a secure, global platform and extensible architecture that extends a video culture internally and externally. Uniting single-click video experiences, powerful IT management tools and a rich ecosystem of integration partners, the BlueJeans Enterprise Video Cloud delivers business video communications on a global scale.
