Collaboration and enterprise-wide communication are the keys to success in today’s information driven environment. Yet many oil and gas companies still rely on fixed line telephone services that don’t include video and data services. By not having a scalable, centralized system, critical information can fall through gaps leaving the entire organization susceptible to miscommunication and inefficiency. These are not the only limitations oil and gas companies face when trying to develop better company-wide communications.

• Standalone voice and fax systems are not compatible with newer technologies, including cloud services and telepresence
• Having multiple systems incurs greater maintenance costs
• Using multiple terminals with different operating systems limits their ability to interface with one another, hampering inter-operability
• Cross-regional communications and remote networking are impeded by systems that can’t communicate with one another via multimedia so employees are forced to take expensive trips to meet face-to-face
• When out of the office or travelling, employees don’t have access to fixed line and traditional communications tools

The unified communications solution from Huawei for oil and gas companies reduces communications costs and improves service quality by providing ubiquitous access to the corporate network at any time. This all-in-one package enables oil and gas companies to support remote collaboration and training, mobile office, and HD conferencing in a secure environment.

Huawei IP solutions reduce costs while connecting the entire company

The IP-based solution integrates voice, video, data, fax and unified messaging through terminals that can access the system at any place or time, plus:

• Includes geographic redundancy and local backup services to provide service continuity with high reliability
• Supports cross-regional remote office and service hosting, ensuring that mobile employees have access to a consistent interface anytime, anywhere

HD Conferencing For Employees Around the World

The integrated conference solution allows users to join the same conference using fixed-line phones, mobile phones, PCs, mobile devices, or telepresence equipment:

• More than 5,000 concurrent users can be on a single conference
• Automatically adjusts the video bit rate based on the network performance and connected devices
• Allows users to view conferences from PCs in 720p while using no more than 1Mbit of bandwidth

Using either or both of these tools employees around the world can receive remote training, attend conferences, and improve cross-regional collaboration and communication. By having access to all the training, communications and office automation tools that on-site employees have they are able to work and collaborate more efficiently. Plus, the entire enterprise benefits by reducing business travel expenses and travel time.
