MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blue Jeans Network, the leader in interoperable video conferencing services, today announced that at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference, it will demonstrate a single video conference that connects users on Skype and Microsoft Lync to each other and with other video conferencing endpoints (such as Cisco/Tandberg, Polycom, Lifesize, Google, etc.). The Enterprise 2.0 Conference will take place at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California, on November 14-17th.
Blue Jeans Network’s demonstration at its booth at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference will be the first public display of Microsoft Lync working with Skype in a single video meeting. The demonstration will take place just one month after the acquisition of Skype by Microsoft was completed.
Blue Jeans Network is a cloud-based video conferencing service that makes video meetings as easy, interoperable and affordable as audio. It’s the first video conferencing service to bridge together business solutions from Cisco/Tandberg, Polycom, Lifesize, and now Microsoft, with consumer solutions such as Skype and Google. For the first time anyone with access to Skype and a video-enabled desktop or mobile device can participate in high quality video meetings with those using traditional video conferencing room equipment.
“Not only will we provide increased flexibility for our users with the addition of Microsoft Lync and OCS to the Blue Jeans Network offerings, but for the first time, nearly a billion people worldwide will have the ability to video conference with others thanks to Blue Jeans,” said Krish Ramakrishnan, CEO of Blue Jeans Network.
By offering interoperability between so many popular business and consumer platforms, Blue Jeans Network is creating a “network effect” for video conferencing. Blue Jeans Network is enabling more people to communicate easily with each other and expanding the reach of video communications beyond corporate boardrooms and across the enterprise to telecommuters, remote workers, travellers, suppliers, partners and customers.
The Blue Jeans Network service launched in June 2011. Since then it has grow rapidly, expanding to over 1,500 cities in 150 countries, providing video collaboration solutions for businesses of all shapes and sizes.
