TERACAI Partners with Generations Bank to Develop Smart Office

SYRACUSE, N.Y., May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TERACAI has partnered with Generations Bank to develop a smart office at its newest location in Farmington.

Through its partnership with TERACAI, Generations Bank has achieved the following outcomes:

• Enhanced customer experiences through Cisco TelePresence solution at new Farmington
  smart office
• Improved organizational efficiencies and reduced travel costs by connecting team members at multiple locations through videoconferencing
• Enriched communications between employees and clients enabled by upgraded Cisco
  voice infrastructure

"Video has the power to connect organizations and people in incredible ways, and we enjoyed working with Generations Bank to help bring the vision for this smart office to life," said Peter Belyea, president of TERACAI. "As a technology partner, we believe it's essential to understand the business needs first, and then determine the most effective way to create a solution with the technology."
