, today announced being chosen as one of the best "Best Managed Conferencing Services Providers" by Telepresence and Videoconferencing Insight Newsletter. Companies were selected based on their "improved offering of managed telepresence and video conferencing services in 2009."
According to Telepresence and Videoconferencing Insight Newsletter Editor Richard Line, "Although the use of telepresence systems grew rapidly in 2009, the majority of video-enabled endpoints are still high-definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) video conferencing endpoints. Glowpoint has led the pack in enabling its customers to interconnect all of these video endpoints. Glowpoint was the first to have this vision of creating a global video community and doing what is necessary to make it possible.
That is why they won this award."
Telepresence and Videoconferencing Insight Newsletter is a well-established newsletter for the user of telepresence, video conferencing, and video-enabled unified communication systems. The editor recognized only seven companies worldwide for an award in 2009. Glowpoint was one of only two managed services providers located in the United States who are currently serving a global market.
