For the 3rd year in succession, Network-i has seen its Videoconferencing Network usage double over the course of the year.

The company has seen two major developments in 2007, extending the breadth of offering to encompass homeworker solutions and a fully managed offering designed to deliver 100% succesful video meetings across a large number of sites.

The managed service proposition underwrites the promises that a sponsor makes to the business. End user adoption increases dramatically as a direct result of the enhancedt ease of use when the service includes call launching capabilities for room based systems and 24/7 support.

Network-i's homeworker package is based on the BT Max Premium service which allows a video service to be cost effectively rolled out to remote sites with limited budget allowances. MCU's and Gateway services located at Network-i datacentres are made available over a highly tuned ADSL environment. Network-i's solution is engineered to take priority over ADSL Max products at the exchange and to avoid conflict with general data traffic on the Network-i backbone.

Commenting on the years progress, David Lucas-Smith, Vice President of Sales was quick to praise the efforts of Network-i's reseller partners. "We are fortunate to have prolific partners that are comfortable in a solutions sale environment. We have made significant gains in all market segments, notably Law, Government and Medicine and I am delighted with both the quantity and quality of the contracts we have written this year." On the prospects for 2008, he continued "We have some exciting new developments round the corner and there is every chance that 2008 could completely eclipse this last year.
