A Virtual Fit

Like many other leading global brands, worldwide working is tricky at the best of times, but bring in rising travel costs, carbon emissions and a volcanic ash cloud, and big names can swiftly become talked about for all the wrong reasons.

Luckily, face-to-face meetings no longer mean long-distance flights. Telepresence, thanks to mobile cameras and secure networks, is making businesses much more agile and competitive. Now employees can have better and more regular communication between offices, the entire business can benefit: and Tommy Hilfiger has become one of the latest winners.

After incorporating virtual fitting rooms, formed with the help of BT’s Unified Communications Video solution coupled with Cisco’s TANDBERG technology, the company can now take a more innovative approach to collaboration. This not only means that its offices can communicate on a daily basis, but the possibilities of virtual design can be taken to the next level.

Fredrik Halvorsen, senior vice president, TelePresence Technology Group, Cisco believes that videoconferencing can mark a turning point for any business, large or small.

‘Like many other leading companies, Tommy Hilfiger has recognized that high quality telepresence can make their processes faster and more effective, delivering a distinct competitive advantage,’ he explained.

But this form of technology isn’t just about large companies, small and medium-sized firms can benefit too. No matter how large or small your business, we no longer just pay the price for travel through fares and hotel bills, but critically, it is time that firms cannot afford to waste.

It enables a wider range of people to work closer and more effectively than ever before and at little cost to your business. You never know it could be the perfect fit you’ve been waiting for.
