IVCi’s IntelliNet Earns Frost & Sullivan’s 2002 Best New Video Conferencing Service Award
Hauppauge, NY - August 12, 2002 - International Video-Conferencing, Inc. (IVCi), (www.ivci.com), ranked 81 on the Inc 500 list of the nation’s fastest growing
privately-held companies for 2001, today announced that the company has been
awarded the prestigious 2002 Market Engineering Product Award for the Best
New Video Conferencing Service by Frost & Sullivan for the IntelliNet
IP video conferencing service. IVCi’s IntelliNet was judged against
other offerings in the industry and was selected for, among other items, its
easy to understand pricing plan, robust feature set, and strong technological
foundation.
“Our research into this market reveals that IVCi's IntelliNet offering
has more innovative qualities and benefits than competing service plans,”
explains Roopam Jain, strategic analyst at Frost & Sullivan. ”This
is exactly the kind of innovation this industry needs to facilitate the overall
adoption of video conferencing.”
First conceived in mid-2001 and officially released in early 2002, the IntelliNet
IP video conferencing service is the only turnkey offering that lets organizations
conduct unlimited video conferencing calls for a flat monthly fee. “The range
of services and cost-effectiveness included in the IntelliNet offering simply cannot
be matched by any of our competitors,” reports Adam Zeitsiff, CEO of IVCi.
“We are honored to receive this award because it recognizes our ability to
understand customer needs and introduce products and services that meet those
requirements. This has been, and will remain, the cornerstone of our company.”
“What makes the IntelliNet offering so powerful is the seamless integration of
a variety of ‘best of breed’ tools and services including Forgent
Networks’ (NASDAQ: FORG) Global Scheduling System (GSS) & Video Network
Platform (VNP), SAVVIS’ (NASDAQ: SVVS) Intelligent IP Network, and IVCi’s
experience in video conferencing and customer service,” explains Chris Böttger,
VP of IVCi. “This technological teamwork allows us to provide a host of unique
services including unlimited point to point and multipoint video calls, web scheduling,
automatic call launching, real-time network diagnostics, and pro-active end-point management.
We thank Frost & Sullivan for recognizing the fruits of our labor.”
“The award winning SAVVIS global IP network plays a major role in the IntelliNet
service,” reports Alivia Tagliaferri, Partner Development Manager at SAVVIS.
“Available in 45 countries and able to deliver true Class of Service directly to
the customers’ premises, our network is ideally suited to carry IntelliNet’s
high performance video traffic. Working with IVCi is a pleasure and continues to be a
win/win situation for both companies.”
According to Jain, “Based on our research, we believe that the range of services
and guaranteed performance of the IntelliNet network will serve to establish IVCi as a
leading force in the managed video conferencing services market.”
