-LifeSize have exhibited unified communications for three years now, and here to tell me why
it's such an important event for the company is Mike Stephens who is UK Sales Director
for LifeSize, why is this an important event for you?
-Unified communications are becoming increasingly more important to people, as we work more
away from home and in a different environment, having efficient
Communication back to either employers or employees or customers is very important.
Video provides an enhancement to that, allowing you to have better communication and to be
more productive so weíre here exhibiting our products and hope that people will adopt
them and become more productive.
-Now LifeSize have recently introduced the second generation LifeSize phone, now what
new features does this have?
-The really important thing for us is ease of use, people donít use technology if it's
not very easy to use and consumerism now is driving users to expect very simplified interfaces
in terms of touch pads and ëslideyí menus and things that work. So the new feature of
our phone is effectively that: the interface is based on a touch screen that allows you
to easily connect to people by name rather than having a remote control.
-Now the introduction of smart phones and mobile tablet devices is making the work force
much more mobile, and so what products do you have to help those types of people?
-The important thing is quality of communication that you have, so many people are running
around with different devices now but what we allow them to do is introducing video into
that communication, and most of our communication is in visual gestures and things that we use
so if we give them video communication across their devices, it improves their productivity.
So the products that we offer provide video on your mobile device be it smart phones,
be it tablets, be it iPads. Itís an increased level of communication.
-Do you find that your customers are almost expecting that now as standard?
-It's becoming more and more, as the number of manufacturers introduce video on all of
their devices be it phones or anything else customers are coming, people coming to the
workplace expecting that they use the same tools they can use at home. Generally employers
havenít provided them so we try to give them the same services that they get outside of
work, in work.
-Well Mike Stephens UK Sales Director for LifeSize, thank you very much.
-Thank you.
