Reimagining Collaboration: Using Video as the Currency for Trust
At Enterprise Connect this week, I will be hosting the session "Use Video Collaboration as a Tool to Become a Trusted Advisor to Your Business." I will be joined by Jeremy Stubbs, VP of business development from Sabre Holdings, and Matt Benefiel, Chief Court Administrator from the 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. In addition to these panelists, you will hear first hand from two customers about the video collaboration strategies they've used to differentiate themselves by strengthening trust relationships.
Using video collaboration to help build trust with colleagues, customers and partners has been my passion for most of the past decade. What better way to make a deep connection than to look at someone in the eyes and say, "I've got you covered." Short of being physically in the room and shaking hands when you say this, high-definition video is today the most effective communications tool to impart this message.
The set of technologies we're introducing this week is all about making video collaboration so compelling that trust and confidence can be easily exchanged – and at every level, not just the corner office. As Rowan Trollope says in a previous post, we're "reimagining collaboration." What this means is we're making video more consumable: easier to use and access, offering the right quality and features for business efficacy, and more affordable so that they can extend to every part of the organization and companies of all sizes.
When everyone can have access to this type of video experience, it becomes the currency for trust in business. And that's what we aimed to do with what we've announced and are showing at Enterprise Connect this week:
- New MX Series integrated video collaboration systems that are not only beautiful to look at and effortless to use, but are video and audio thoroughbreds. High definition video and stereo-quality sound come together in units that easy to install and deploy – in some cases in as little as 8 minutes.
- The SX10 Quick Set, a codec-in-camera unit, that can turn any flat panel into a video collaboration solution – to outfit any small room or huddle space with business-quality video, and priced to scale at about the cost of a PC.
- A new integrator platform in the SX80 delivers the industry's first support for H.265, supporting bandwidth efficiency, and powerful enough to create video collaboration solutions for the largest and most complex scenarios.
- New Intelligent Proximity capabilities that let users leverage their mobile devices, such as iPhones and iPads, to synch with Cisco video systems and enhance their collaboration experience.
- The SpeakerTrack 60 dual-camera system offers intelligent facial recognition and voice triangulation technology to detect and directly switch between active speakers on the far side. This direct active speaker switching approach is unique in the market for bringing greater focus to the discussion and a better-than-being-there experience.
And all this is delivered at price points that are between 20 and 30 percent less than our previous similar systems. You can see these technologies at work in a new video called "Be Everywhere with Video Collaboration."
If you're at Enterprise Connect, please stop by our booth to see how we're reimagining collaboration. Or stop by my discussion and hear more on how to use video collaboration as a tool to become a trusted advisor to your business. The session is on Tuesday, March 18th from 2:30-3:15pm, located Sun C (Convention Center). I look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks for this post. Agree that video is the next best thing to in-person interaction. Plus the benefit of video is the ability to connect from anywhere.

Established in 2009, the homestay holds the reputation of being one of the first homestay around Jodhpur today. Prajapats are the weaver class.
Homestay is a home away from home. Our homestay is situated Salawas which is situated on the outskirts of Jodhpur, around 20 Kilometers away from the heritage city which is known for its vibrancy and culture homestay, is easily accessible to Jodhpur. We offer contemporary dwelling and a mesmerizing experience to our guests that truly match the real purpose of tourist visit in Jodhpur. It is believed that the soul of a country lies within its villages. Salawas, a part of Jodhpur City, is one such village where the tourists get attracted towards the archaic lifestyle of the dwellers who have managed to maintain and live with the unwavering soul of the land.
As we belong to the Weaver class, durrie (rug) weaving is our family business which we have been practicing since ages. We earn our daily breads from this business only. Earlier, we used to serve the noble families, for maharajas and landlords. As time passed, our families got involved in other businesses but were badly exploited by the business man. Chhotarams father, Pukhraj Ji setup a co-operative with 45 families involved in it. Pukhraj Ji has a lavish house in Salawas and has been converted in to a home stay for guests in the form of huts which stay cool in summers and warm in winters.
Apart from all this, Bishnoi Village Safaris are arranged by our family at very economical rates. Trekking is also one activity which you can enjoy here in nearby villages.
Welcome to our Homestay and feel the difference yourself!!
Come as a guest and leave as a family member.
CheersBye © 2019

However, I have a slave that is hung with "Unable to connect to mysql server" it prompts for the master server hostname, password, dbispconfig database (which exists). I can telnet to the master on port 3306 and can see that MySQL connects, but alas the loop of "Unable to connect to mysql server" persists. I've verified the root password and can get to the master's MySQL with root via phpmyadmin. I've tried temporarily turning off the firewall on the master. Is there something else that could be causing this error message on the slave upgrade? Help, clues appreciated! *Update I've checked the privileges table and appears OK. root has all privileges for dbispconfig, including the hostname of the master/slaves in MySQL. However, I just tried to connect via one MySQL Admin from the slave to the master and access in indeed denied for [email protected]. Yet the slave is apart of the access table with all privileges. Curious.

But it came as a hell of a shock to me. This was 16 years ago and I was daydreaming, as usual, only this time I had some cause; my entire life was about to change and it demanded some mental turning over and looking at. After seven years of scratching a living as a radio presenter, I had thrown in the towel and got a job in the real world.Well, nearly. I was driving down south from rainy Lancashire to become a press officer for a car company. This meant two things\: I would need a suit and I could meet and schmooze the editors of TV car shows, and maybe one day hop back over the fence to the media and do the thing I'd dreamed of since watching TopGear as a kid.It was a long shot, it almost certainly wouldn't work, my radio friends were disappointed in me and I didn't actually have a suit, but selling out was my best option if I wanted to do stuff like eat and live in something that wasn't a brown-painted bedsit.And so, with these thoughts and others churning around the cramped confines of my little Brummie mind, it came as a mighty shock when my beloved, charcoal-black Scirocco GTX came to a very, very sudden stop. I'd hit the car in front of me at a roundabout. It was a bump and no more. There was apologising, writing down of details and a twinge as I surveyed the crunched front end.It had taken me through many an adventure, my old Scirocco... well, almost. It had mostly broken down on the way, but I was proud of it and surveyed its deep, glossy paint beneath characterful layers of peeling lacquer with affection. It was the end of the road for this car in every sense.With the new job came a company car. It was small and underpowered, but it was brand new and would always work. After this journey, the old VW could look forward to a brief moment of fame in a small box on the pages of Auto Trader before being placed in new hands for less than asked for, but more than it was worth.The thing is, this could have been so different, or maybe not happened at all. My Scirocco was the third I had looked at. I wanted one because the drummer in our band had one and I figured that if he could fit his drumkit in something so much cooler than the usual Escorts and Golfs, I could sure as hell fit my bass rig in.Having rejected the first Scirocco I went to see (ruined leather seats and a smell in the boot that would have aroused the interest of the police) I viewed a second. It was the smaller-engined GT version and it was immaculate. The owner had every scrap of history, it had covered barely a quarter of the miles a Scirocco can look forward to, the interior was perfect and the body glowed with health and vitality under its lustrous, flawless paint. But the paint under which it glowed was a vivid, in-yer-face orange. My rusty, silver-grey Opel Manta sat and dripped oil on the kerb behind me as I surveyed the Scirocco and tried to imagine how I would feel turning up to gigs or college in an orange car.I couldn't do it. I turned it down and bought the next one I saw, the one I crashed on a roundabout in Surrey. I bought it because the colour, a mean and moody dark grey, looked great and it had the larger, 1.8-litre engine. I bought it despite the fact that it was clearly crap and only hours from death. It took constant nursing, it played on my mind, it kicked the crap out of my budget and let me down. But I loved it. And therein lies an interesting question.Was my willingness to put up with the foibles of what I perceived to be the more glamorous car driven by something innate in me? Did I crave the chaos and glamour of a broken-down but good-looking car over the boring reliability of the other one? And if so, how might it have affected me if I'd gone for the orange one? Would the dependability of it, the ability to plan a journey and know I'd get there have influenced my young, developing mind? Might I have gone on to become a respectable, respected and responsible member of society, instead of a co-presenter of an ambitious but rubbish TV show?The fact is, an orange Scirocco is probably rather a desirable, retro-cool thing now. Its groovy persona might have seeped into my artistic mind and turned me into a designer or architect. And this is why, love or hate cars (I'm assuming it's the former, given what you're reading), they are such an endlessly fascinating, controversial subject. We sometimes define ourselves by them and maybe sometimes they influence who we are. And there are probably not many objects we can say that about.

Vanessacroyconsulting necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 234 diseños de 45 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for an original badge style logo for a new carbon offset company called completeoffsets.com
The company offers carbon offsets branded as benefiting the environment in numerous ways - i.e. environmental offsets. The offsets are aimed and individuals and companies seeking to reduce their personal and corporate environmental footprint. Once complete the logo would be used in a variety of web and print based applications. The logo would signify that a given home or business was not only carbon neutral but had offset its complete environmental footprint.
Our target audiences are primarily commercial/business with some retail sales based on flights/vehicles/homes.
The bulk of business would be offsetting the building process such as new apartment buildings, industrial manufacturers, to energy intensive smaller businesses such as hot yoga studios.
For example, it takes a lot of energy to make fiberboard or heat a yoga studio. Our credits allow a business to offset that energy consumption and create a greener product.
Ideally the logo would be circular or contain a circular element. However, if a particularly good square options was generated it would be entertained.
Vibrant Blue, greens, white etc. The logo would be frequently placed against vibrant natural photography so that is a consideration.
Trees etc.
Greek symbols - a lower case "Theta" may work for example.
completeoffsets.com - and ideally in a sans serif text.
We're looking for something unique. Something that distinguishes our brand from other environmental companies. So we're looking to go a step beyond a leaf with the stem arching into a circle.
