The exclusive offer provides the full benefits of Blue Jeans Network service, including scheduling, screen sharing and interoperable videoconferencing for room-based systems, tablets, smartphones and personal computers and telephones.

Blue Jeans and Tely Labs are changing the landscape of business communications:  Blue Jeans has captured over 30% of the worldwide videoconferencing services market while Tely Labs has rocketed to over 18% of the US videoconferencing systems market in less than a year.[1]   

Together, Tely Labs and Blue Jeans are a powerful combination that addresses the emerging need for simple, cost-effective and interoperable videoconferencing.  "There is a natural synergy between the goals of our two companies," said Krish Ramakrishnan, co-founder and CEO of Blue Jeans Network.  "Traditional conferencing has left many meeting participants in the dark, and we are eager to continue providing users with the opportunity to experience the benefits face-to-face collaboration provides – without being at the mercy of a physical location or device."

The pairing of simple, affordable videoconferencing appliances and cost-effective, cloud-based services is especially welcome among small-and-medium-sized businesses, where cost and complexity have prevented widespread adoption of video collaboration technology.

"More and more of our telyHD Pro users are finding Blue Jeans is the easiest, most cost-effective way to connect with smartphones, tablets, PCs and room-based systems from Avaya, Polycom or Cisco," said Sreekanth Ravi, CEO and co-founder of Tely Labs.  "We're very happy to partner with Blue Jeans to accelerate this growing trend."
