Description
In 2017, the Illinois Department of Innovation & Technology is introducing Cisco's Video Conferencing Solution as the State of Illinois' video-conferencing platform. The Cisco platform will provide consolidated agencies the ability to take advantage of enhanced collaboration tools with existing services such as WebEx, Jabber and centralized scheduling that will provide an easy multipoint conferencing solution. This centralized scheduling will allow all consolidated users the ability to schedule video resources through their Outlook calendar. Non-consolidated agencies will maintain the same capabilities as they have today.
Video-conferencing is an efficient and cost-effective technology that can be used to conduct meetings, presentations or training sessions with minimal travel and lost time moving from one location to another. Through the use of video-conferencing technology, remote sites can see, hear and interact in meeting or training sessions without the inconvenience and costs associated with travel. In a video-conferencing meeting, a laptop or mobile device can be used to allow all parties in the meeting to view documents, images or websites on display. The State of Illinois Video Conferencing Network (IVN) is currently established across the State and at many agency and educational locations. This provides for the opportunity to video-conference with rooms full of participants each in different locations or with individuals from their own desktop systems. In addition, video conferences can be held with other participants across the city, state, nation or around the world.
Product Features
- Native integration of WebEx presentations and video as well as video-enabled Jabber clients.
- Outlook plugin for scheduling. Video-resource users will be able to book both point-to-point and mulitpoint conferences from their Outlook interface, eliminating the need to contact the video-conferencing help desk for scheduling matters.
- Cisco One Button to Push conferencing enables users to press one button and launch a scheduled video conference, eliminating the need for browsing through the directory to set up calls.

Videoconferencing to WebEx - Bridging and Scheduling
When fully implemented, the Illinois Video Conferencing Network will be integrated with the Cisco, cloud-based, videoconferencing scheduling and bridging. This integration will simplify the process for scheduling systems, automating the connection between systems and integrating systems with the WebEx user desktop. This integration will be tied to the refresh of the older videoconferencing system.
