Video: 60-Second Pitch: Telepresence

Series 3, episode 7: The clock is ticking…

CIOs spend countless hours listening to suppliers pitch their technology, so silicon.com decided to make the process a lot more entertaining by putting the vendors on the spot. Welcome to the 60-Second Pitch.

Suppliers have just one minute to pitch their product or service to a panel of current and former heads of IT, who then have the opportunity to quiz the vendor before giving the technology a green or red light - just for fun, of course.

In this episode, Simon Farr, head of marketing at BT Global Services, pitches his company's telepresence technology to former CIO of Associated Newspapers, Ian Cohen; head of IT at Ecotec Research & Consulting, David Supple and IT director at law firm Norton Rose, Jeff Roberts.
