Videoconferencing Network for USAID

Challenge

Business organizations need to maintain secure and reliable communication across their geographically dispersed offices, videoconferencing solutions enable organizations in all business disciplines to hold secure, distance meetings and collaborate with remote colleagues, share information and reach critical decisions quickly as if they were in the same room. Realizing this fact the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) bureau in Egypt, decided to utilize videoconferencing technologies to overcome the geographical barriers and conduct regular face to face meetings with their counterparts in USA

Solution
