The IBM Lotus Awards recognize exceptional IBM PartnerWorld members that specialize in Lotus software solutions and have excelled at providing quality products, innovative solutions and superior services to customers. For the 2009 Lotus Awards, hundreds of applications were received from more than 30 countries around the world.
In winning the IBM Lotus Award, Avistar's software was recognized for delivering unparalleled desktop video communication and collaboration functionality with industry-leading bandwidth management, connectivity and quality of service.
In addition, Avistar is working with IBM to provide bandwidth management for IBM Lotus' unified communications and collaboration solutions, which include IBM Lotus Sametime, an award-winning and market-leading platform that offers integrated, enterprise unified communications tools such as IM, VoIP, video chats and web conferencing. Avistar's patent protected dynamic bandwidth management is a key feature of its C3 videoconferencing technology, making intelligent and automatic adjustments to support connections with external VoIP services, video within web-based instant messaging clients, room-based videoconferencing systems and high-end, high-definition telepresence environments.
"Desktop videoconferencing offers significant opportunity for cost savings
and productivity gains, especially when it is used in conjunction with other
unified communications applications. To take advantage of these technologies,
companies must pay attention to performance and bandwidth management to
achieve maximum success," said
"This recognition from IBM Lotus illustrates Avistar's continued
leadership in business-class videoconferencing," said
IBM will recognize all award winners at the Lotusphere Business
Development Day 2009 and during the Lotusphere Opening General Sessions.
