Highlights
With 6,500 employees across more than 50 locations, this
organization consumes more than 10,000 conferencing
meeting hours per month, with twenty five percent of
meetings including video from 150 video conference rooms.
Given its extensive video usage, an on-premises deployment
is a better option as it avoids large bandwidth costs resulting
from video traffic traveling off their locations, into the cloud,
and back again.

This organization offered high remarks for platform
virtualization and security and chooses not to deploy public
cloud based conferencing due to security and compliance
requirements. It anticipates extensive use of iPads as
conferencing end-points, and is eager to integrate its web
and video conferencing solutions to yield a single scheduling
system across both systems.

This beta candidate expressed concerns about CWMS third-
party integration, specifically in the area of directories, and
decided to wait until LDAP integration is available before
deploying CWMS; however, it does expect to move forward
with a CWMS deployment thereafter.

The servers in our data center are increasingly more
virtualized, and we benefit from having a conferencing
system that runs on virtualized servers.
Given our organizational security policy, we cannot
have any sensitive data moving through the
public cloud from an internal meeting.
The user experience is good, and the integration of
the iPad is great, as is the ability to video-conference
and share content at the same time.
