CHICAGO?(BUSINESS WIRE)?InterCall?,
a subsidiary of West Corporation and the world?s largest conferencing
and collaboration services provider, and Blue Jeans Network, the
leader in interoperable
video conferencing services, announced a partnership today that will
allow InterCall to offer the Blue
Jeans service to its customers worldwide, supplementing InterCall?s
leading portfolio of audio and web conferencing services with Blue
Jeans? robust multi-party video conferencing.

?By allowing users to join
a meeting from various devices and platforms, video conferencing is now
a more viable meeting choice than ever before.?

Through this partnership with Blue Jeans Network, InterCall allows users
to connect to meetings via services such as Cisco, Google, Microsoft
Lync, Polycom, and Skype, regardless of the hosting platform. The
service is cloud-based, and customers familiar with InterCall?s Reservationless-Plus
audio conferencing platform will find it just as accessible and easy to
use.

?This new service eliminates the challenges that often make video
conferencing difficult,? said Robert Bellmar, Senior Vice President of
Conferencing and Collaboration for InterCall. ?By allowing users to join
a meeting from various devices and platforms, video conferencing is now
a more viable meeting choice than ever before.?

The Blue Jeans conferencing service provides a cost-effective, scalable
solution that enables workers to collaborate within the enterprise and
beyond. The secure service extends the reach of video conferencing
beyond specialized rooms so colleagues and clients can connect without
worrying about location or device, including any video-enabled tool or a
standard phone line. As a cloud-based offering, Blue Jeans lets
customers avoid the high costs and complexities associated with
traditional on-premises bridging solutions (commonly known as multipoint
control units, or MCUs).

?Partnering with InterCall allows us to serve more customers who are in
need of easy-to-use and accessible video conferencing solutions,? said
Krish Ramakrishnan, CEO of Blue Jeans Network. ?Since the Blue Jeans
conferencing service is cloud-based, there is no new hardware to deploy
or software to download. A few clicks is all it takes to schedule, host,
join and run meetings.?

The partnership marks yet another significant business relationship for
InterCall, which works with the top companies in the conferencing and
collaboration field, including Adobe, Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, Polycom and
Tandberg. These partnerships helped InterCall maintain industry
leadership, evidenced by receipt of the 2011 North American Market Share
Leadership Award from Frost and Sullivan.
