| Today while distances are bridged faster than ever before, providing a seamless learning experience between two separate cities was a challenge. For instance, the limited IIMB faculty could not travel between two locations. Yet, teaching in a distributed classroom was not to be significantly different from traditional teaching. And technology was to be simple enough to not impose any constraint on teaching style, or classroom interactions. |

| Actis suggested setting up identical video conferencing facilities at both Bangalore and Chennai and the use of high quality video conferencing equipment to ensure that ‘zero-distance’ real-time interactions and sharing of electronic presentations was possible. |
| Actis solutions helped create a high-tech training facility that seats 40 students and features state of the art presentation and communication aids. Students at remote locations can see and hear images, video and documents with minimal quality loss. An echo-cancellation system ensures voice clarity without disturbances due to acoustic echo and ambient noise. |

| IIM, Bangalore achieved its goal of extending the learning experience enjoyed by students at its campus in a way that transcends the borders of the institute in Bangalore. The institute’s vision of creating a distributed learning initiative was brought to life by helping apply technology that enables seamless learning across distant locations. |
