Konetica telepresence partnership slashes travel costs and maximises billable time for legal sector
Published 5th December 2008
Managed IT service provider to the legal sector, Konetica today announced a new partnership with Teliris, the leading provider of immersive telepresence solutions, to help law firms cut travel costs and increase efficiencies through the use of the most advanced telepresence technology available on the market today.
The partnership with Teliris underlines Konetica’s commitment to delivering the most comprehensive and dynamic IT services to the legal sector. Through the partnership, Konetica customers will have access to Teliris Telepresence as well as Teliris’ fully managed service that guarantees over 99 percent reliability and provides customers with enhanced business continuity.
Based on Teliris and Konetica’s shared belief that telepresence acts as a differentiator for client service, the strategic partnership will change the way lawyers work with their clients through increasing efficiency, cutting travel costs and carbon emissions, as well as improving work-life balance for employees.
Malcolm Simms, Founder and director of Konetica, comments, “Our partnership with Teliris will help legal firms drive profits by building client relationships and expanding the amount of time legal firms have for conducting business both locally and internationally.”
“A typical Teliris Telepresence room is used on average for up to eight hours and over five meetings per day. This translates not only into savings on travel and accommodation but also into more billable hours available to the firm.”
Martyn Lewis, EU Chairman of Teliris, adds, “We are excited to be working with Konetica because it understands the legal market and the value our technology brings. This is a solid partnership in that we both offer premium services that enhance our client’s reputations and deliver commercial and operational value as well as flexibility.”
Teliris and Konetica are already working collaboratively on a number of joint pilots within the legal market and will be hosting a legal round table interest group early in 2009. For more information please visit www.teliris.com or www.konetica.com.
