Blue Jeans Network

Cloud computing has made videoconferencing easier from an infrastructure perspective, but it took Blue Jeans Network to tackle the interoperability hurdles. When you think it about it, it’s ridiculous that different video conferencing systems don't interoperate. Cisco room systems, for example, can't call Skype. What makes Blue Jeans Network innovative is that its cloud-based video conferencing system is the first and only service allowing anyone with a browser and camera to join video meetings with other participants on any combination of H.323 systems (Polycom, Cisco, LifeSize, Sony, etc.), Skype, Google, Microsoft Lync or audio connections.
LifeSize, a Division of Logitech

LifeSize Connections is the fastest way to add and extend HD video conferencing to your business, enabling secure, immersive communication between meeting rooms and desktops through an intuitive, cloud-based platform. Connect with up to nine participants via 720p30 HD video, all from the comfort of your desk, while you share data, instant message and more. LifeSize Connections is delivered via the cloud, allowing you to scale your solution quickly and easily as your organization grows.
noah pine productions

Because it is a very cool animated promotion (with a great original song "I'm on a Cloud" and it communicates the benefits of cloud based CRM better than any other promotion I have seen.

Vision Solutions/Double-Take 6.0

This original video, which debuted at the Microsoft Tech Ed, shows in a dynamic and compelling fashion how Double-Take has "evolved" to a "simple" solution. Visit http://youtu.be/1MVeN4dmags?hd=1.
WeVideo

Phones have gotten smarter. Powerful cameras lenses have gotten dramatically smaller and more affordable. Digital video recording is now the norm. This has led to an explosion in the amount of video content being captured by just about everyone. The problem is that much of that content sits on people’s phones or video cameras and is never shared. Likewise, business professionals understood the power of video communications, but their dependence on professional video producers creates a barrier to creating promotional, training or communications videos. Enter WeVideo, which puts the power of video storytelling into the hands of everyone. Our cloud-based video editing solution is accessible from anywhere, by anyone allowing individuals or groups to transform ordinary video clips into compelling stories.
