BT Conferencing, a provider of audio, video and web collaboration services, has extended its Unified Communications (UC) portfolio through the introduction of Kontiki’s enterprise video offerings, including live video webcasting and video on demand services.

The company said that its UC portfolio is designed to enable users real-time access to all forms of communication and collaboration services from multiple devices. The new services enables users to quickly and cost effectively send broadcast quality video content to their employees’ PC’s; and provides Live video webcasting, without requiring any network infrastructure upgrade.

BT said that Kontiki’s Enterprise Video Platform enables live video webcasting and video on demand. It provides video content through a consumer-style video community for searchable and user-generated content with familiar social networking capabilities.

Aaron McCormack, CEO for BT Conferencing, said: "Video is becoming a ‘must have’ tool for business communication programs, and the new BT solution offers a natural step for customers who are already using collaboration services and want to add or expand the use of live video webcasting or video on demand to their company-wide events.

"With this latest offering, BT Conferencing becomes the only player in the market that can provide this complete Unified Communications portfolio. Our customers are able to communicate instantly and uniformly to their employees around the world with high-quality video."
