BizCompass is pleased to announce the arrival of high-definition video conferencing for the masses, to Maine.  By teaming-up with Vu Telepresence and becoming authorized as the Vu Portland, Maine location, business people all over Maine now have a choice when it comes to face-to-face business meetings.

Vu Telepresence is in the process of setting-up Vu TelePoints across the world.  With Vu TelePoints, clients can go to any location around the world and call another location using pay-by-the-hour facilities.  Now, instead of flying to New York for a 2-hour meeting, a client can come to our Vu TelePoint room in Westbrook, Maine while the other attendee goes to the TelePoint in New York City.  In less time than it takes to get through security at the airport, the two parties can have their conference and be on the way home.

Vu is not just for use in our facility.  The Vu Telepresence solution is also available for purchase with installation performed in client locations.  Now companies with multiple branch offices can utilize existing broadband connectivity (768KB is all that is needed for high-definition video conferencing) and communicate between sites in real time.

This is something you really have to see to believe.  If you are interested in a test of the Vu Telepresence solution, give BizCompass a call at 207-591-7700.  We’ll make arrangements to have interested parties come in and talk with others at any of the TelePoint sites worldwide.

Smart Style, the revolutionary new private cloud solution, is now in final testing.  Once deployed, Smart Style will offer clients the ability to host a private cloud computing solution in their own office or data center, or have their IT resources moved to the BizCompass data center for a hosted cloud solution.  Smart Style features an unbreakable storage solution and incorporates man features not found on traditional virtualization solutions offered by others.  Smart Style will not only virtualize desktops as well as servers, but both types of systems are automatically backed-up every 15 minutes, with the end-user able to use locally installed software to put their computer back to a previous state.

Pricing with Smart Style is incredibly affordable - in many cases Smart Style can be secured for roughly half the price of traditional virtualization hardware and licensing.  A small office with one server and 9 desktops can be put into a private cloud for less than $10,000.  Consider that a decent server and 9 desktops would cost around $15,000 under the traditional hardware model and you can see how much of a value the Smart Style is.
