Video Guidance Partners with Connecting Point Computer Center for More Effective Video Collaboration

Video Guidance will now be able to create a more visually collaborative workspace for its customers through a strategic partnership with Watertown, S.D.-based Connecting Point Computer Center.

Through their collaboration, Video Guidance will be able to increase its sales presence in its current markets and expand its geographic reach across North and South Dakota.

Internet, mobile and broadband technologies have redefined our way of life to a great extent in the past decade. At the same time, visual communication tools have become critical to a business’ efficiencies.

Video Guidance is an independent partner of Cisco (News - Alert), Polycom and LifeSize. For five consecutive years, Video Guidance has been named to the "Inc. 5,000" list of the nation's fastest growing private companies. It is among the top privately held companies in Minnesota and one of the top 150 telecommunications companies in the U.S.

“Our joint partnerships utilize and maximize resources to offer more comprehensive collaboration and visual services to businesses and organizations,” said Michael Werch, president of Video Guidance. “The program is designed to help value-added resellers (VAR) succeed in the highly lucrative video conferencing market, enabling them to take advantage of high-margin sales opportunities with our best-in-class video conferencing solutions.”

Connecting Point has been helping organizations of all sizes install and manage servers, desktops and notebooks from a centralized location. The company is recognized for its proactive, preventative approach to IT management that stops problems before they affect a network with off-site backup and cloud computing.

The company also provides Cisco unified communications solutions (UC), connecting people, information and teams to help them collaborate more efficiently.

“We are excited to partner with Video Guidance to expand our collaboration portfolio,” said Bryan Waege, president of Connecting Point. “Together with Video Guidance, we will maximize our customers’ technology investments to help them meet their business objectives rather than react to IT problems.”

Video Guidance was recently in the news when Video Guidance integrated its VG Connect service to support Microsoft (News - Alert) Lync. VG Connect is Video Guidance's comprehensive, multipoint video communication solution that connects different videoconferencing systems, standards and devices together.
