LONDON, September 30 /PRNewswire/ -- mvision, a UK Managed Network Service provider of video conferencing and telepresence solutions, was awarded TANDBERG's 2008 EMEA Managed Video Services Provider of the Year award. The award ceremony held during TANDBERG's Partner Summit in Barcelona recognised mvision for the way they have successfully developed, packaged and marketed their range of Managed Services.

The award is given to the partner who delivers the best user experience with a total end-to-end TANDBERG solution. With mvision, customers can choose their own service packages from a fully outsourced video network, video systems, full concierge service, call control, monitoring and reporting for a fixed monthly cost with zero up-front capital expenditure. The mvision solution has extended video usage with existing clients and into industry sectors that have traditionally shunned its usage.

"We're extremely proud to receive this award," said mvision Managing Director, Terry Dwyer. "Video conferencing has always promised an array of benefits, but never delivered on its full potential; mvision's Fully Managed Video Service Network enables our customers to reap those benefits. Essentially we have removed the high cost of ownership and capex issues as well as removing the issues of bandwidth and IT resources. In doing so, mvision has made video available to everyone."

"In a short space of time mvision has developed a world leading Managed Video Service", said Wayne Stephens, EMEA Vice President of Channels & Alliances for TANDBERG. "mvision's innovative approach to the supply of video conferencing demonstrates that VC is now considered a vital business tool adopted by businesses, both large and small. The partnership which combines the TANDBERG product range and the mvision Managed Network removes the traditional barriers that have prevented mass adoption of VC in the past. We are entering a new era of video communications which will see unprecedented growth in this market for both customers and suppliers alike, the successful businesses will be the fast adopters that set the standard".
