Telework

The Office of Personnel Management defines telework as "work arrangements in which an employee regularly performs officially assigned duties at home or other worksites geographically convenient to the residence of the employee." Essentially, Telework is working effectively in a location other than the traditional office.

Studies indicate that Telework improves morale and productivity of the work force. Couple these benefits with recent government mandates increasing the focus on telework in the Federal Government, and it is clear that agencies have a need to optimize Telework solutions.

LifeSize solutions enable teleworkers to have effective communication with peers and management – both in the agency office and in the field. Our video conferencing solutions allow for face to face communication and collaboration which is essential to successful Telework and COOP plans.

Continuity of Operations – COOP

The ability to effectively communicate and perform mission essential functions are critical elements when planning for Continuity of Operations (COOP). Today more than ever, agencies are tasked with the need to be able to perform in the midst of natural disaster, technological attacks, pandemics, and more. LifeSize Solutions can help ensure that in the event of an emergency, your lines of communication with your agency personnel as well as between agencies remain open. LifeSize video solutions, you will also provide the ability to have secure, face to face communications – essential when live meetings are not an option.

Training and Communication

Government and military organizations have resources and team members spread throughout the US and often around the globe. Decisions and collaboration efforts however are not contained within the walls of headquarters - agencies today need the ability to connect and communicate in real time and frequent travel is often not an option. "Immersive" is the word that is used to describe an HD video experience that LifeSize provides. The stunning video and audio quality makes your disparate teams feel as if they are in the same room, giving them the freedom to interact naturally – and make effective decisions.

Natural, interactive discussions and communication are also essential in knowledge transfer and education. In today's fast paced environment, continuing education is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. LifeSize standard-based HD video solutions help speed the learning process and provide low cost options for effective training – regardless of location.
