Case Study: French consulting and accounting network Cerfrance achieves reduced travel and boosted collaboration with Lifesize

Cerfrance takes up Lifesize video conferencing for its 700 agencies throughout France

Cerfrance is a network of 64 regional consulting and accounting associations in France serving 320,000 customers across sectors like agriculture, commerce and services. Although regional entities operate independently, they share a common brand and frequently hold national meetings that required members to travel to Paris or other sites. To cut costly, time-consuming travel while maintaining meeting quality, Cerfrance evaluated several video conferencing options and selected Lifesize for its interoperability and cloud-based approach.

Cerfrance standardized on Lifesize at the end of 2016, deploying meeting room systems in 12 locations and creating hundreds of virtual meeting rooms that external guests can join without installing software. In the first six months they ran more than 80 video trainings and now average over 200 group video calls per month, significantly reducing travel and lowering meeting costs while becoming the network’s primary video solution.
