Case Study: Idaho Department of Fish & Game achieves $7,000 travel savings per field video call with LifeSize

Protecting Wildlife, One Video Call at a Time: Idaho Fish & Game Stays Connected with LifeSize HD Video

The Idaho Department of Fish & Game, which manages wildlife across a rugged, widely dispersed state with seven regional offices and roughly 1,000 staff, needed to reduce costly travel and bring remote teams together for more effective, face-to-face communication. Long travel times to meetings — often a full day each way — and limited budgets made scheduling and collaboration difficult, so the agency sought an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-maintain HD video solution that could connect multiple locations simultaneously.

After evaluating vendors, Idaho Fish & Game deployed LifeSize Room HD systems for their quality, ease of use and price performance, and trained staff across regions. The implementation led to more frequent, shorter meetings, improved statewide communication and significant cost savings — about $7,000 in travel costs and two travel days saved per field-staff video conference on average — while reducing overall travel-related expenses.
