Video Conferencing and Telepresence Solutions for State and Local Government
No longer limited to Federal government agencies with big budgets, video conferencing and telepresence systems are transforming the way state and local government agencies communicate. As costs have come down and reliability has improved, government agencies of all kinds are using this technology to increase productivity, reduce travel, and fulfill eco-friendly initiatives.
