The Department of Education and Training of Thái Nguyên Province in Vietnam recently implemented TrueConf Server, freeing more than 200 employees from face-to-face weekly meetings. Video conferences have replaced on-site meetings, cutting transport expenses and saving time and money.
The Department of Education and Training of Thái Nguyên consists of nine branches situated in different parts of the province. The Department manages the operation of 20 higher education institutions, 180 schools and all preschools of Thái Nguyên.
Before TrueConf, the Department’s employees had to visit their headquarters to attend weekly meetings. The long distance between branches made it difficult for employees to reach the meetings, with travel often taking long time.
The Department’s management decided to replace this resource-consuming commute with video conferences so that employees could participate in meetings from their workplaces without digressing from their official duties.
Ensuring sufficient performance of a Unified Communications system over low-speed Internet was one of the main challenges faced by the Department. Initially, its IT specialists tested the operation of popular video conferencing services such as Skype, Hangouts and ooVoo. As it turned out, cloud solutions could not provide the required quality of communication for offices with slow Internet.
HaproInfo, the official partner of TrueConf in Vietnam, introduced the Department’s management to TrueConf Server. After deciding on implementation, HaproInfo experts deployed TrueConf Server and integrated it into the existing infrastructure of the Department.
