Video Is the New Voice

Accenture’s Expanding Global Videoconferencing Ecosystem, With Tools for Every Situation

Advances in 2012-2013:

• 150,000 Accenture professionals enabled with Lync desktop video.

• More than 43 million videoconferencing minutes per year.

• 23 new Telepresence systems added, expanding the network to 126.

• 140 EX Series videoconferencing devices added, bringing the total in use to 235.

• New high-definition Jabber desktop videoconferencing introduced.

Videoconferencing anytime, anywhere is changing the way we work. As video becomes the new voice across corporate enterprises, Accenture is leading the way, expanding the video ecosystem to link our employees with one another and with our clients.

Many of our people are already able to add video to an existing audio call with a single click. Before the end of fiscal year 2013, the number of video-enabled professionals will surpass 200,000. Video is quickly becoming the new “voice” across Accenture.

Last year, there were nearly 7,000 Accenture videoconferencing meetings held around the world. Our total number of videoconferencing meeting minutes now runs into the millions annually. We already use many different systems, including high-definition Telepresence video, EX Series personal video, Roundtable team videoconferencing, and Lync and Jabber personal video devices. The actual tool matters less than the impact videoconferencing as a whole is having on productivity and performance.
