No other conferencing supplier has both the breadth of product offerings

“The key to Videré’s early success has been our hands-on,
customer focused service model and to do that properly we need to be close
to our customers,” said Videré co-founder and chief executive
Todd Luttinger. “With a well-respected industry veteran like Kent
Ramsay guiding our efforts in the Great Lakes region, we are excited and
optimistic about our ability to attract new customers and grow our existing

Ramsay has held sales and sales management positions with AT&T, Ernst

“Videré is filling a very unique and vital need in the conferencing
industry. It is a value added reseller that is completely committed to customer

building conferencing networks that can be "mainstreamed" in the
day-to-day operation of the business,” said Kent Ramsay, Videré’s

partners personally, so I know the team is highly experienced, professional,
