Blue Jeans for IT

The roles within the corporate IT function are more challenging and complex than ever before. IT professionals today are tasked with architecting and maintaining operational excellence of the company’s networking and communications infrastructure while responding to growing pressure to reduce costs, enable business innovation and improve business processes. Add to the mix internal and external stakeholders’ requests to use video conferencing, and already-overloaded IT resources become even more strained.

To complicate matters further, employees are now bringing their consumer technology into the workplace, with roughly one-third of U.S. information workers using a personal mobile phone for work.[1] From iPhones to Android tablets, the consumerization of IT is quickly making the IT landscape more complex than ever before.

To support the growing trend toward using video conferencing, many IT professionals are exploring ways to support consumer applications like Skype and Google within their existing communications infrastructure. The value of mobile collaboration is clearly evident — but finding an affordable, secure and interoperable solution that’s scalable and requires little or no IT support has long been a challenge.

Blue Jeans solves the video conferencing challenge, giving employees the service they desire along with the secure infrastructure IT demands.
