Case Study: DevFactory achieves improved international collaboration and recruitment with LifeSize

Global Software Factory Improves International Collaboration, Recruitment Following LifeSize Implementation

DevFactory, a global software “factory” with more than 40 supply partners and 600 contractors serving clients across the US, India, China, Europe, Southeast Asia, South America and Dubai, needed a way to collaborate reliably across long distances. As the company grew it was outgrowing partner-based communication systems and costly travel; leadership required a lifelike, scalable and cost-effective video solution that preserved in-person interaction without the expense and disruption of frequent trips.

DevFactory selected LifeSize for its high-quality HD video and competitive price and deployed a mix of endpoints (Passport for teleworkers and Express, Team 220 and Room 220 for offices) supporting 1080p/720p and multipoint calls. The rollout eliminated most business travel (previously up to ~40 trips/year), produced a rapid ROI (one unit ≈ cost of a trip), enabled 4–5 hours/day of video collaboration and expanded hiring beyond geographic limits, improving recruitment, productivity and global teamwork.
