Case Study: Bateman Engineering achieves reduced travel and improved global collaboration with LifeSize

Bateman Engineering Connects Global Counterparts across Continents via LifeSize

Bateman Engineering, a 90‑year global engineering firm with offices across Australia, China, India, Russia, the Americas, Southern Africa and the UK, faced costly, time‑consuming travel and limited remote communication—especially in low‑bandwidth locations. The company needed a high‑quality, simple and cost‑effective alternative to face‑to‑face meetings to improve collaboration and reduce travel.

Bateman deployed LifeSize HD video endpoints (Passport, Room, Team, Express) and LifeSize Networker for seamless IP‑to‑ISDN connectivity. The solution cut travel significantly, increased regular face‑to‑face collaboration across executives, engineers and clients, became the preferred communication method for project work (including ERP reimplementation), and delivered a rapid ROI by using existing network capacity.
