Vantage Systems (Vantage) and Global Videoconferencing Technologies (GVT) Announce Merger

Announcement posted by Vantage 13 Jun 2002

Vantage and GVT are delighted to announce that they have merged to form VantageGVT
Recent trends in the United States and Europe have recorded strong growth in voice, video and data collaboration. Australia is predictably following suit as the unique business benefits of virtual conferencing are embraced. With more than 11 years of combined experience in complex voice, video and data deployments, VantageGVT is uniquely positioned to lead the market in virtual conferencing solutions.

CEO Mark Buckley remarks, Im constantly surprised by the fact that many Australian companies do not have a clearly defined strategy on conferencing. As a result many companies waste money and opportunities because they are not maximising the power of all the resources they possess. Our vision is simple. Vantage-GVT is fully committed to creating solutions and assisting companies to link up their powerful human assets more effectively.

Vantage and GVT have been respectful competitors for many years and together hold the most exhaustive customer base in the country. Their respective market positions are solidified through the exceptional levels of service and support they offer with the joining of the two companies building further critical mass. This translates into unprecedented product, service, and support for their customers throughout Asia Pacific.

As the largest collaboration organisation in Australasia, their focus is to maintain leading edge collaboration services for enterprise customers through best of breed products and breakthrough services. The new VantageGVT has offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Gold Coast, and New Zealand providing an infrastructure and investment unmatched in the virtual conferencing industry.
