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.
