Video conferencing

Virtual collaboration is a powerful and convenient way for our members to offer additional services to their patients and staff. SISU's comprehensive multimedia conferencing solutions and support provide multiple options for users to fully engage in point-to-point or multipoint meetings. Our members use the SISU Video Conference Network to interact with SISU staff, other SISU members, and outside organizations to decrease and in some cases even eliminate travel time and costs. Likewise, our members enjoy increased revenues and greater returns on investment when they use their multimedia equipment for Telehealth services.

SISU also partners with Minnesota-based organizations to support the Minnesota Telehealth Network. To learn more about the MN Telehealth Network, click here.

  • Education and Training
  • Opportunities with Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MNSCU)
  • Training sessions and workshops with non-member medical facilities and agencies

Collaborating virtually reduces travel expenses and environmental impacts. By reducing travel, we can reduce CO2 emissions. Click here to view Tandberg's online tools that teach us more about our carbon footprint. (http://www.seegreennow.com/)

Web conferencing

Web conferencing enables users to collaborate using their PCs and the Internet. Most often, web conferencing is complemented by video or teleconferencing. Tandberg See&Share, our choice web conferencing tool, includes options for desktop sharing, screen annotations, and more.

Teleconferencing

As a member of SISU you have the option of using our Cisco Voice Over Internet Protocol Telephony (VoIP) service. VoIP operates over an internet connection, and therefore is still available when local phone service is not. Multi-point conference calls are made seamlessly using Cisco Meet-Me software. VoIP-designated servers store data so that it can be retrieved at a later date if necessary.
