CityIS, a Viju Group Company, Launches Cloud-hosted Video Subscription Services
LONDON, April 25, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
City Information Services Limited (CityIS Ltd.), the global video communications
company, has today launched a complete portfolio of cloud-hosted video subscription
service offerings, bringing high-quality, on-demand, consumption-based video services to
any size of organisation.
Powered by Videxio, the portfolio of services includes Video Subscription Services,
Virtual Meeting Room and Cisco Jabber Video. Video Subscription Services includes Basic,
Plus and Premium plans, a Virtual Meeting Room can join multi-user/system video meetings
from standards-based video devices, and with the simple installation of a software client
on a PC or Mac, Cisco Jabber Video is a personal solution that enables easy and reliable
connections to soft client users, desktop video systems and telepresence meeting rooms.
Moving video services to the cloud reduces the complexity of deploying business video.
Compatibility between equipment is no longer a barrier and a pay-per-use consumption model
delivers maximum business value with minimal IT and capital cost impact.
The ability for organisations to connect via video with colleagues, partners,
suppliers and customers has never been simpler or more cost effective. With high-quality
video services starting at GBP39 per user per month, cloud-hosed video services are
designed to simplify the adoption of video and dramatically improve the user experience.
"CityIS' announcement today adds an additional layer of services to its managed
services portfolio, which is focussed on expanding the use of video communications in the

processes and people work," said Victoria Kemp, Head of Managed Services. "Partnering with
Videxio augments our strategy and helps customers extend the benefits of video
communications throughout their organisation and beyond."
"We believe that video is a game-changer for people and businesses, and we enable our
