Case Study: Portman Holdings reduces travel and improves collaboration with IVCi HD video conferencing

Portman Holdings Uses High Definition Video Conferencing for Long Distance Collaboration

Portman Holdings, a global real estate development firm, needed a better way to collaborate across its U.S. headquarters and international offices. Frequent travel for project meetings was costly and time-consuming, and audio conferencing didn’t provide the face-to-face connection needed to review architectural models and design drawings. IVCi helped Portman Holdings evaluate a video conferencing approach, including high-definition systems for clearer visual communication.

IVCi implemented TANDBERG 3000 and 6000 MXP video conferencing systems, along with Natural Presenter Package software, MultiSite capabilities, and secure infrastructure products to support firewall traversal. With installation, training, and managed care services from IVCi, Portman Holdings reduced the need for international travel, saved significant time, and improved internal adoption thanks to the system’s sharp image quality. The company reported that the solution helped turn skeptics into supporters and made remote collaboration much more effective.
