Telepresence Solutions for Public Sector

Governments around the world are faced with the challenge of addressing limited resources, the need for real-time collaboration and broad geographic reach. Cisco TelePresence solutions can help governments address these challenges by enhancing citizen services, simplifying collaboration with vendors and contractors, improving inter and intra-agency communications and reducing travel. The Cisco TelePresence portfolio integrates easily with existing network infrastructure and productivity tools, creating a transparent video experience. Interoperability with other video conference platforms, voice and data systems helps ensure maximum return on investment, making the most of personnel and financial resources. Cisco TelePresence can play an important role in reinventing government services and the way government runs.

Featured Case Study: The Australian Government

The Australian government, considered the biggest business in the country, adopted telepresence as a means of operating more efficiently. That included reducing travel to better accommodate the busy lives of ministers and other officials throughout the country. Cisco TelePresence helped the government save more than 5 million Australian dollars in 18 months, and reduce greenhouse gases by 1 million kilograms.
