Agile Enterprise Video Platform Used to Facilitate Collaboration in Third Annual Conference: Veodia's Executive Team Shares Insights on Technology Leadership
San Mateo, Calif., September 4, 2008 -- Veodia™, an agile business-ready enterprise video platform that enhances daily work communication, today announced their sponsorship of the 2008 Office 2.0 Conference, being held September 3 -- 5, 2008 at the St. Regis in San Francisco. Office 2.0 will rely on Veodia for the instant DVD-quality video recording and immediate availability of all sessions. Attendees can further engage in the unique dynamic of the conference by using Veodia to contribute their own videos to the sessions.
Dubbed "one of the largest experiments in mobile productivity and real-time collaboration," the Office 2.0 Conference 2008 program will focus on large, enterprise organizations adopting Office 2.0 technologies. Each session will be directly recorded from within Clearspace and available online or through mobile devices--such as the iPhone and HP 2133 Mini-Note PC--to global audiences.
"My team and I are proud to sponsor the Office 2.0 Conference. Premier conferences such as this are critical to understanding the shifts in how people communicate, work and learn from each other," said Guillaume Cohen, founder and CEO of Veodia. "As businesses expand globally, the need for mobility, efficiency and meaningful interaction has grown. Veodia.s technology taps right into the heart of this need. Video captures the natural expressiveness of people in a more complete way than you can get from text or audio alone. This added dimension enables people and organizations to communicate and collaborate more effectively."
The theme of enterprise adoption will be reflected by both conference sponsors and end-user presenters, which will include large enterprise customers sharing their success stories and use cases. Members of Veodia's executive team and clientele will be participating in various sessions of the conference, including:
- Guillaume Cohen, founder and CEO of Veodia, is a panelist in the session titled "Meeting without Traveling." He will share his insights on leveraging video technology to reduce costs and foster communication within the enterprise;
- Etay Gafni, vice president of products at Veodia, will speak on the panel for "Office 2.0 Setup"--discussing Veodia's technology and application for the conference; and
- Charles Beckham, CTO of Sun Learning Services, will be presenting the Sun Microsystems Case Study to discuss Sun's initiatives, technologies and use cases for collaboration.
"The initiatives and culture of Sun Learning Services are about sharing knowledge and building equity in our communities," said Charles Beckham, CTO of Sun Learning Services and a speaker at the Office 2.0 conference. "Adopting disruptive and innovative technologies that enhance the richness and efficiency of communication, like Veodia's enterprise video platform, is how our organization will continue to be on the leading edge."
Conference attendees can expect to hear from over 50 speakers, including representatives from organizations such as General Electric, Genentech, Stanford, Sony, Tesla Motors, Wachovia, Xerox and others.
