to Orrick’s expertise is often critical to our ability to successfully=
address our clients’ legal challenges. By seamlessly integrating high-definition=
video into our existing Microsoft platform, the Advanced Media Gateway=
helps us significantly increase our lawyers and business professionals=
face time with each other and clients, while reducing travel and streamlining=
consultations. Giving our entire firm the ability to connect inside and=
outside of our network in the best quality makes it much easier to hire=
the best experts, regardless of location, and provide clients with immediate=
face-to-face counsel and access to our vast pool of dispersed specialists.”=
=0D=0A”TANDBERG clearly recognizes the power that unified communications=
has for driving video throughout the enterprise. However, one of the challenges=
enterprises face with mass video adoption is interoperability between desktop=
video, and high-definition group video and telepresence environments,”=

Advanced Media Gateway embodies a well-conceived strategy and an innovative=
solution to instantly enable the millions of desktops running Microsoft=
