Key Law Firm Benefits:

• Increased attorney-client interactions
• Reduced annual travel budget
• Improved business continuity (during unpredictable travel delays) and efficiencies
• Minimized time out-of-office for monthly partner meetings

"We started with eight units and now have at least 20 dedicated rooms," said a representative from the firm. "During the volcanic ash crisis, which caused travel cancellations, we simply had our executives in Paris join our monthly, all-partners meeting over a video conference call as if they were in the same room. We use our video system for everything from training sessions, to communicating with outside clients, to communicating with attorneys at other firms as well."

Highlights of Glowpoint's Managed Services for the Firm:

• Five interconnected offices: New York; Washington, D.C.; New Jersey; Florida; and Paris
• Support for 14 locations; rooms ranging in size from eight-to-eighty seats
• Operator supervision – on-demand – for conferences involving multiple locations
• Access to Glowpoint's cloud-based, hosted infrastructure that supports Codian, Polycom RMX, and Radvision bridges

Glowpoint's Vice President of Marketing Jonathan Brust said, "We know that as video communication becomes increasingly popular for international dealings, technology must work seamlessly to meet high-level expectations. Glowpoint currently provides services for more than 30 firms in the legal industry because our team and service platform are uniquely suited to achieve high-quality communication and cost-savings results for our clients."
