Terrence Higgins Trust chooses mvision video conferencing system for training and collaboration

The Trust is also using its video conferencing products to deliver new government information governance and health and safety training to staff and volunteers across the UK.
 
Phil Williamson, ICT & programme management director at Terrence Higgins Trust explained, “With numerous locations across Britain, and with the NHS outsourcing more and more contracts to us, we really needed a tool to bring co-workers together more often and with greater ease. And video conferencing has done just that. We now have more meetings, that are shorter and more focused,” continued Williamson.

mvision installed Cisco-Tandberg desktop units across 18 of the charity’s offices, all connected to the mvision dedicated network. This enables video conferencing to be run completely independently of the main IT network at Terrence Higgins Trust, using separate bandwidth and connectivity.
 
Business travel has also reduced, replacing many of the regular journeys between Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness with video conferencing the Director of Services in Scotland at Terrence Higgins Trust has reduced the amount of time she spends on the road by around two thirds.
 
Over the coming months, Terrence Higgins Trust plans to deploy a Cisco-Tandberg Content Server for the chief executive to record messages and sessions for the entire team and international partners to view on-demand.
