1 Alcatel-Lucent Visual Collaboration Suite Anyone, anywhere, on any device: Cost-effective, effortless, rich video collaboration

2 Video improves collaboration across enterprises and beyond Currently, collaboration is limited to sharing data while video conferencing is only about high-quality images. For businesses struggling with their return on investment (ROI) for unified communications (UC) and video conferencing, contextual communications must be embedded in the business processes. With the enterprise-network transformation underway, businesses are well positioned to take full advantage of their collaborativeinfrastructure investment, deploying multimedia applications to reduce costs, improve efficiency and fully realize their ROI. These applications include integrating video into the enterprise-communications infrastructure, making it simple to use and access, open to all devices at any location, creating a seamless and effortless collaboration experience. 2 Alcatel-Lucent Visual Collaboration Suite

3 Drivers for visual collaboration Visual collaboration is more than video conferencing. Many factors compel a company to adopt video in the constant struggle to stay competitive and efficient while fully realizing their network-transformation ROI: Cost-reduction requirements: Reduce business travel cost airfare, hotels, restaurants, taxi $$$ Reduce operating expenditures (OPEX), including network operating costs Workplace dynamic change: Increase virtual cross-functional teams across locations Meet the challenge to keep people engaged and connected across dispersed and remote sites Meet user expectations and demand for ubiquitous video access in the workplace Pressure to implement green IT initiatives and deployments to reduce the carbon footprint Benefits of visual collaboration Video complements UC tools, enhancing the collaborative meeting experience through increased interactivity and nonverbal communication. UC offers general benefits, but specific benefits are experienced when video is integrated into UC: spontaneous communication spontaneous nature of UC (presence based by definition) makes video communications usable. It s there, it works, so why not. Now that I use video for every call, I get the benefits noted herein. Builds stronger trust, the key to smooth and effective working relationships, achieving it more cost effectively with high definition (HD) video implementation Makes HD video readily available to employees, customers, partners and suppliers, among others, as a viable alternative to physical meetings, providing cost and time savings through reduced business travel and higher-quality communications Enhances productivity and efficiency by breaking down communication silos Maintains and diffuses the corporate culture among dispersed workforces Offers business continuity during a crisis Alcatel-Lucent Visual Collaboration Suite 3
