QONCERT ANNOUNCES TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP WITH TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
TAMPA, Fl, September 7, 2011. . . Qoncert, a leader in systems integration and unified communications, today announced a multi-year partnership with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League.
Included in the agreement is the installation of Cisco Telepresence systems throughout the country and Manchester, England, home of the Manchester United Team, also under the same ownership as the Buccaneers. Cisco Telepresence simulates an in person experience and allows for sharing of interactive presentations and multimedia. This will facilitate communication and collaboration between the Tampa Bay Buccaneer organization and the NFL, as well as, other teams in preparation for upcoming games, while saving time and travel costs. Furthermore, the organization can host meetings remotely between the Tampa and Manchester offices without the burden of international travel.
“This project will significantly enhance the Buccaneer organization’s ability to communicate both internally and externally, says Qoncert President and CEO, Lou Rossi. “Using this technology will dramatically improve the level of interaction equal to that of an in-person meeting, while significantly reducing travel costs and increasing overall organizational efficiency. We are confident in the benefits our partnership will bring the Buccaneers.” “We are proud to team with one of Cisco’s Gold certified partners in Qoncert,” said Bryan Glazer, Buccaneers Co-Chairman. “We look forward to activating their business-to-business objectives”.
With today’s announcement, Qoncert now has partnership agreements in place with all three major professional sports franchises in the Tampa Bay area, including, The Tampa Bay Rays and The Tampa Bay Lightning.
