Challenge
The holding needed video conferencing on its own infrastructure: depending on a foreign cloud service was no longer acceptable, and the switch could not interrupt meetings between sites.
What we did
- Deployed TrueConf Server on the client servers with redundancy
- Set up Active Directory sign-on and groups by department
- Remotely configured existing meeting room equipment and mobile clients; physical work was done by client staff
- Moved departments over in stages, running in parallel with the old system
- Trained the IT team and ran introductory sessions for users
Outcome
All departments switched within 6 weeks, and not a single meeting was cancelled because of the move. Video calls now stay inside the holding network, with no external cloud service needed.
