Quincy, MA. ­Videré Conferencing, New England's leading provider of video, audio and web conferencing solutions, announced today that LifeSize Communications has selected them as their direct regional reseller in the northeast United States. Videré will sell, service and support Lifesize’s suite of high definition video communications products.

Unlike traditional videoconferencing solutions, the LifeSize user experience relies on superior high definition video, high definition audio and intuitive real-time manageability, allowing users across continents to be more productive by successfully sharing important information and valuable insight.

“We are firm believers in the founders of LifeSize having known them from our days together at VTEL in the 1990's and what they later did in developing the Polycom videoconferencing systems,” said Todd Luttinger, CEO of Videré Conferencing. “We were also attracted to Lifesize because of the potential we believe their HD quality videoconferencing products will have in several key verticals that Videré specializes in such as Legal, Higher Education and Healthcare. These industries rely on videoconferencing and we see HD as a major enhancement to that experience.”

"We are excited to be working with a high caliber partner like Videré," says Craig Malloy, CEO at LifeSize Communications. "The combination of Videré’s vision, industry experience and superior customer service makes them an ideal partner for LifeSize.”
