AVON, OH — Jenne® Inc., a leading value-added distributor of IP telephony, audio and video conferencing, data networking and security products, announced that it has added LifeSize as a new vendor in its Jenne Solution Design online solution configuration tool. Lifesize, a division of Logitech, is a developer of award-winning video conferencing products and a major Jenne partner. LifeSize offers scalable, enterprise-quality client-server solutions that support high-end HD video collaboration -- a category in other words a foundational component of unified communications and quickly growing in both enterprise and SMB environments.

October 2011 report

According to an October 2011 report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., "the world video conferencing market is expected to reach $14 billion by 2017 and will be driven by factors just as an increase in enterprise mobility and subsequent rise in number of mobile workforce, growing prominence of telepresence and increasing adoption among small and medium sized businesses."*

The launch of LifeSize on this portal makes it easier for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) clients to add videoconferencing to their linecards; and in exchange, will allow existing video conferencing resellers to explore VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) solutions as a new possibility.
