On September 17, the typical response at the IT Summit in Phoenix, AZ to first experiencing LifeSize HD videoconferencing was, “Unbelievable!”  It was such a shock to the system that many felt that the live conferencing either was a recording or was staged.  In reality, it was a simple connection between Phoenix and the Face to Face Live headquarters in north Scottsdale.  The next day the corporate office received an order to buy three systems.  Truly, businesses and organizations are finding out that they cannot remain on the cusp of their industry without HD video conferencing.

The amazing part was that most of the attendees of the conference were executives and IT network engineers from local government entities looking for solutions for their long term networking, records management, security and software challenges.  For many of the participants, their previous experience with video conferencing was via webcams or standard definition video conferencing platforms.  It was amazing to see their reactions as we demonstrated the ease of use in switching between a/v inputs (PowerPoint, Document Camera, DVD, Secondary Camera), dual streaming presentations, and bringing in and out multiple participants without having to hang-up and redial.  Obviously, after experiencing the quality, flexibility, and effectiveness of the HD LifeSize experience, they were hungry for more and many scheduled their own private demonstration at our corporate headquarters here in Scottsdale.
