Flexible solution delivers new way of working and globally
connects Hilti employees on multiple devices
Hilti Group has chosen Orange Business Services to implement a
global fully-managed video conferencing service. The flexible
solution improves collaboration and productivity across Hilti’s
highly-distributed global teams – and significantly cuts travel
costs.
Headquartered in Schaan, Principality of Liechtenstein, the
Hilti Group is a world market leader for professional fastening and
demolition technology and supplies the global construction industry
with leading-edge tools, systems and services. Hilti employs some
22,000 persons in over 120 countries.
Seamless communication and collaboration between globally
dispersed team members is a key success factor in the quality and
innovation of Hilti’s solutions. An early adopter, Hilti first
invested in video conferencing technology in the early 1990s to
connect employees in their offices all around the globe. When in
2010 the need for device and site-independent multi-point video
conferencing became more evident, Hilti turned to the agile video
solutions of Orange Business Services for a more integrated,
unified way of video communication.
Today, the fully-managed Orange Business Services video solution
is available at all of Hilti’s locations worldwide. The service
helps to preserve the company’s investment in legacy equipment by
connecting multi-vendor video conferencing endpoints. This includes
integrating more than 45 video conferencing rooms and multiple
mobile conferencing devices. Since 2014, Hilti employees have also
been able to connect to video conferences with their Microsoft Lync
Online clients, which have been globally deployed as part of the
Microsoft Office 365 suite. This ground-breaking step further
enhances the use of video communication in Hilti.
digital transformation and a new way of working
By integrating video and Microsoft Lync Online, Hilti has been
able to realize a new way of working. Employees can easily initiate
a video conferencing session from the desktop or mobile device,
from anywhere on the globe, via one client. No longer confined to
video conferencing rooms, this digital transformation has helped to
improve collaboration across the company. The project was delivered
jointly by Orange Business Services and its partner
VisionsConnected, which delivers end-to-end onsite and remote
support, covering both the service and video endpoints.
Tobias Roelz, Head of IT Workplace & Application Services in
Hilti Global IT, comments: “The Orange Business Services video
conferencing service has helped Hilti to connect their employees
across all locations along with external partners in an agile and
intuitive way. We have been able to lower our travel costs and
benefit from an increased productivity. The integration of
classical video conferencing with Microsoft Lync Online, which is
globally deployed to all employees, has further driven the adoption
of video conferencing in Hilti.”
“We are proud to be a core component of the Orange Business
Services video conferencing solution to Hilti,” said Raymond Alves,
CEO of VisionsConnected. “By leveraging the global capabilities of
Orange Business Services and our flexible, scalable and
customizable video conferencing service, we have jointly been able
to meet Hilti’s expectations: collaborate anywhere, anytime, from
any system, with anyone. We believe that the new Lync Online to
video conference integration feature is going to dramatically
amplify the business benefits of our enterprise grade
solution.”
“We are very pleased that we could provide Hilti this
cost-effective solution that meets their evolving global business
objectives and activities,” said Dr. Helmut Reisinger, senior
vice president for Europe, Russia and CIS, Orange Business
Services. “This worldwide managed video conferencing service
demonstrates the value Orange Business Services brings to its
customers by being a reliable and innovative global service
provider.”
