IVA MCU Video Conferencing Platform Implemented in BARS Group

IVA MCU unified corporate platform for video conferences and webinars has been implemented in BARS Group to ensure effective remote interaction and interactive communication for employees in offices located in 17 Russian cities.

Russian developer IVA Technologies has implemented a project to create a modern video conferencing system in the head office of a federal IT company, as well as in its production, design and business divisions. The project aims to reduce the company’s travelling costs, increase the efficiency of internal and external communications, and improve the system of corporate training and staff development. The IVA MCU platform has increased the efficiency of decision-making and the effectiveness of enterprise management, allowing employees to participate in a wide range of events, like meetings, briefings, business appointments, webinars, trainings, presentations, lectures, seminars, corporate classes, etc., without personal attendance, in the format of live broadcasts or recordings.

Thanks to a modern business-scale video conferencing system that provides high-quality video and voice transmission regardless of the location of participants and the type of devices used, BARS Group has managed to reduce the number of business trips, and as a result, significantly reduce the company’s operating expenses, speed up managerial decisions, and introduce easily accessible distance learning programs for staff. 

Maxim Smirnov, CCO at IVA Technologies: «Our solution is ideal for large geographically distributed companies with many branches, such as BARS Group. Its advantage is maintaining the previously made investments in the enterprise’s IT infrastructure due to the platform’s wide integration capabilities, allowing for connection of hardware terminal users, video conferencing software clients, and subscribers of corporate PBXs of any origin.»

Timur Akhmerov, CEO of BARS Group: «It is hard to imagine a large IT company of the 21st century without remote communication. Interaction with 1,600 employees located throughout Russia is quite a problem, which we successfully solve thanks to this platform. Moreover, the company’s geography is currently expanding, we have opened three new production offices across the whole country — in Krasnodar, Nizhny Novgorod, and Vladivostok, with whom, of course, we need to be in touch 24/7.»
