Orange Business Services (OBS) has launched the pilot of a managed videoconferencing service that connects companies regardless of the vendor of their equipment or the type of network they are using.Open Videopresence, which will be available on a monthly subscription, was unveiled at an event in Paris on Wednesday. The service can be used within and between companies, with meetings set up using an online portal or Microsoft Outlook. Orange can supply compatible equipment, although interoperability with other and older devices is part of the service.Once a videoconference is set up, it will start automatically at the designated time. Administrators can use the web portal to monitor their company's usage, while OBS will also check before the meeting that the necessary equipment and connections are ready for action. Online support will be available throughout the meeting in case of problems.The concierge service will initially operate from Mauritius, with further contact centres planned in France, India and Egypt.
