The system’s High Definition (HD) video helps team members collaborate better by providing clear visuals of presenters and detailed research images and demonstrations.
The Avaya Video Conferencing Solution (AVCS) enables researchers at Canary Foundation and Canary Center at Stanford broaden their research network, reduce travel, expand real-time discussion, and facilitate visual presentations of cancer research results. Canary Foundation receives numerous grants that require monthly or bi-monthly reviews and inspections, and the Avaya Video Conferencing Solution (AVCS) allows members of the Canary Center at Stanford to meet grant compliance requirements efficiently and protect funding for critical research.
The organization is working with Avaya and others to enable additional researchers and institutions to participate in sessions using videoconferencing clients, desktop units and room-based systems from multiple videoconferencing system manufacturers.

Supporting Quotes:
"Canary Foundation has set 2015 as the date by when we aim to deliver on our vision of simple, effective early detection cancer tests. The faster and more cost-effective the means that we can share research with our broad-based team, the closer we get to our goal. Avaya's video solutions help Canary Foundation and our research team save precious time and money and provide the quality we need to see minute detail in video formats."
Don Listwin, founder, Canary Foundation
"We view a lot of imaging presentations in our research. It's important for the collaborators to be able to see the details while the presenter points out critical areas. The video quality is great and the system is very easy to use – even for a novice like me."
Sharon Pitteri, PHD, Canary Center at Stanford
