Qualcomm Driving Collaboration, Productivity and Efficiency via Telepresence
Qualcomm recently announced that it will be integrating state of the art Teliris telepresence technology into its R&D program to help drive employee collaboration, productivity and efficiency.
The trial program, which will utilise Teliris’s VirtuaLive™ Modular Systems, is designed to foster deeper integration and increased communication between engineers at its headquarters and research facilities.
Barbara Noerenberg, vice president of corporate R&D program management, Qualcomm, comments, “Research and development are cornerstones of Qualcomm’s long history of technology innovation, and collaboration among our various remote locations has been an important part of our success.
“Teliris’ telepresence solutions provide us with a new layer of communications that will help us bridge the geographic gaps and work more closely across our offices.”
Marc Trachtenberg, Teliris CEO, comments, “This trial collaboration demonstrates Qualcomm’s commitment to managing a multi-site business in the most streamlined way possible.
“We are thrilled that such a respected technology mainstay recognises the value of telepresence in enhancing their business communications.”
Founded in 2001, Teliris develops, implements and manages the world’s most widely deployed telepresence systems, realistically replicating the human dynamics of a live meeting. Teliris has deployments in over 19 countries with the largest installed base of Fortune 500 companies, including Pearson plc, GlaxoSmithKline, Royal Bank of Scotland and Qualcomm, among others.
Headquartered in New York and London, the company combines a fully managed service with end-to-end integration that offers businesses a 24/7 multipoint capability with a 99%+ availability guarantee, ensuring they can respond and collaborate as needed.
According to Harvard Business Review study of Project Management Best Practices in Global 500 Enterprises:
- Fewer than 4% of teams ever meet physically as a whole
- Fewer than 17% even have individual team members from at least 3 time zones
- 57% are cross-functional
- 48% extend beyond company walls to include outside contractors, agencies, counsel, outsourcers and other third partie
