At work, we need to be able to video conference between 4-6 sites with a few people at each site and I am not very familiar with the options.

So far, I've looked at Tandberg Systems http://www.skccom.com/c-943-large-room-systems.aspx

GoToMeeting

At this point, I am trying to get more information on available options rather than picking something out. Anybody have any experience with videoteleconferencing? I believe we have been using the McKimmon TeleCenter so something like that, of course not to the extent, could work out. More details as to what we need and what we don't need will come along once I talk to the people above me and I get more information on the options.

It doesn't get better than that, but it is unlikely to be in your budget

haha thanks for that ^

although im sure everyone would love to have it, i believe your out-of-range prediction is fairly accurate.

and now for more budget friendly solutions....

Just need a few webcams to go along with the webex suite. Includes a 14 day free trial, so you can give it a spin with your coworkers to see if you like it or not.
