VCST Video Communication & Collaboration

toshiba-vcs_image_2007_72dpiToshiba VCST Video Communication and Collaboration solution has made video applications virtually as easy to use as a traditional telephone, and because it’s compatible with Toshiba’s Strata® CIXT IP telephone systems and telephone handsets, VCS offers a very affordable entry point into video communication and collaboration.

VCS provides affordable point-to-point, three-party video communication, desktop/application sharing, file transfer, and message board capabilities. VCS brings video telephony to Strata IP telephones, digital telephones, and SoftIPT® soft phones by adding video communications to traditional voice conversations.

Maximizes Productivity via Remote Video Communication and Collaboration

VCS applications take productivity to a new level by allowing remote workers to see, hear, interact, and collaborate on projects together, no matter where they’re physically located. Whether it’s used for daily organizational calls or VIP communication, you can conduct remote in-person meetings, virtual work group discussions, field engineer support, sales staff support, product prototype demonstrations, and much more.

From the Session Member List, users can view all VCS members and can easily select those members they wish to take part in their collaboration sessions. Users can share their Windows® desktop and applications with each other, allowing them to enjoy a multimedia collaboration experience.

VCS can take the place of face-to-face meetings and therefore can dramatically reduce the cost of business travel and can enhance productivity and quality of work.
