Case Study: Community Telco achieves 50% reduction in travel time and 60% travel cost savings with LifeSize HD video

Community Telco connects regional Australia with LifeSize HD video

Community Telco Australia is a Bendigo‑based wholesale franchise group that provides mobile, landline, internet and data services to regional communities across eight offices. Faced with frequent interstate meetings, the company spent about $350,000 on travel in 2007 and needed an easy‑to‑use video communications solution to reduce travel time and improve clarity in meetings and training.

Community Telco deployed LifeSize Room at head office and LifeSize Team units at seven franchise sites (implemented in two weeks), with minimal training required. The HD videoconferencing solution cut employee travel time by 50% and travel costs by 60%, delivered a six‑month ROI, improved productivity and work/life balance, and became a product the company now resells to regional customers.
