New Delhi: Tata Communications (TCL) announced the launch of its Telepresence services, to deliver both private and public Cisco TelePresence rooms to businesses across the world. This service will enable a broader ecosystem of connected rooms for enterprises and their partners.

Through our unique combined public and private room model, we are bringing our customers access to a unique ‘in-person’ experience to enhance their global real-time collaboration.”
Tata Communications is also collaborating with the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), India’s premier business association, to provide Cisco TelePresence services to Indian businesses with four public rooms at CII offices in New Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad.
Vikram Tiwathia, CIO of CII, commented, “Telepresence will transform the way geographically-dispersed global teams work by offering a viable virtual meeting solution for all enterprises in India.”
David Molony, principal analyst at Ovum, noted, “This new flavour of telepresence is an interesting one. Tata Communications distinguishes itself from other flavours of Telepresence by the hosting element of the proposition, reducing the complexity on site and the cost to manage these applications.
