The Video Conferencing as a Service (VCaaS) provides high-quality communication, and the quality of the video in this format is much higher than in the video conferencing technologies that are familiar to us, the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies of Azerbaijan told Trend.
“The VCaaS service is available both for government agencies and the private sector. The system also has a high level of privacy. It is not intended for use by private individuals,” the ministry noted.
The ministry’s cooperation with the US’ Cisco company in the high-tech industry allows offering users a universal platform for organizing multipoint audio, video and web conferencing.
