ITG and Video Conferencing Technology

By Douglas Miller


The evolution of a video conferencing technology, the cost reductions, the growing scale of communication solutions, and the savings in travel costs, are making Video Conferencing widely recognized for the contributing to profit margins, employee retention and increased productivity. As well, the wide availability and quality of the technology has made significant inroads into public administration, as demonstrated by judiciary systems which have adopted it for attendance and testimonies.

Video Conferencing is in high demand for the best hiring practices. It saves the travel cost for both parties and expands a search pool for the best possible job candidates. Video teleconferencing broadens the possibilities for educational forums, in the medical field for communication between patients and medical professionals and in the media relations for press conferences, among many others.

Government and Business leaders see improvements in productivity as diverse teams are able to work together in a more collaborative environment using integrated video/data/voice communications. Using the available technologies, training sessions are delivered more frequently, improving performance and driving increases in productivity across all departments.

As business and government needs have become more global in nature, the requirements for integrated communications have increased considerably. Fortunately, the technology has advanced at the same rate. Government and commercial users are well on their way in migrating from ISDN based solutions to IP implementations which now are far more affordable and fit their unified communications strategy.

Being a world class IT services provider and a certified partner of all major VTC related manufactures ITG has all the right components to provide the highest quality, robust VTC solutions that fit a wide range of strategies and budgets.

ITG is taking a pride in its highly qualified staff of engineers and installation technicians. ITG has designed, tested, documented, deployed and supported some of the largest and most complex VTC enterprise implementations in the federal government. As an Audio/Video integration specialist, ITG also provides large scale room design, installation, custom engineering and support across the government and commercial markets. A/V integration was performed by ITG for the US Department of Defense at the Pentagon, to include secure switching; ISDN and IP based video collaboration rooms, or so-called "war rooms".

ITG was selected for a five year contract supporting a video conferencing enterprise for the Defense Contracting Management Agency, (DCMA). ITG provides all hardware, installation labor, onsite and helpdesk support for this project. ITG has successfully installed and currently supports more than 300 VTC rooms for DCMA.

With a global presence including operations throughout EMEA and APAC, ITG also supports all video communications efforts for DoDEA Schools. Over the past 12 months DoDEA schools has rolled out more than 100 new VTC rooms extending the reach of its teachers, optimizing the delivery of coursework to its most remote students.

For Government and Industry Leaders who are aware of the significance of state-of-the-art technologies to the accomplishment of their objectives, the VTC Industry and related technology should be at the forefront of their investment plans.
