CCOMM argue the case for more videoconferencing
Video conferencing continues to rise in popularity and it should be obvious why. As the world gets ever-smaller and many companies have international branches, the ability to communicate effectively over huge distances is invaluable and video conferencing makes this possible. Removing the need to book large rooms and spend vast amounts of money on travel, accommodation and catering; video conferencing allows real-time meetings between any number of people to be set up quickly and easily. This means that every relevant person can be present at a video conference, whereas normal meetings are too expensive to send everybody to.
What’s more, the overall quality of a video conference is likely to be far higher than a regular face-to-face meeting, mainly because all the relevant information can be found on the individual computers that the participants are using to hold the conference. In this way, nobody can forget to bring any information to the conference and hence there is no need to arrange further meetings to cover issues for which the relevant information is not available. Not to mention the departure of ISDN has lead to much faster networks and higher bandwidth becoming available resulting is smooth, error free, high quality calls without all the troubles and fuss associated with video conferencing in the past.
Before making video conferencing an everyday part of your company’s routine however, there are certain issues that should be considered. Most importantly, everybody involved in video conferencing requires suitable hardware, software and an internet connection, not to mention training in the use the aforementioned equipment. To successfully take part in a video conference, participants require good quality computers with monitors, cameras and microphones at very least; low-grade equipment will greatly inconvenience the entire conference. Once all the equipment is available, participants must also be appropriately trained and in the use of the equipment and capable of finding a location suitable for a video conference – with good light, a fast internet connection and a lack of background noise.
The advancements in technology and the requirement for high standard, impeccable conferencing has paved the way for Telepresence– next generation video conferencing.
With fully immersive, high definition Telepresence conferencing now becoming more affordable companies like vpod solutions have taken the initiative and made optimum performance available and affordable to all companies.
Without doubt the huge savings that most companies can make from removing travel from the conference-cost equation will more than cover the need to provide employees with cameras, microphones and the relevant software. The need to train employees in the use of such equipment should also be considered a benefit; the skills will be readily transferable and a tech-savvy employee is something to be valued. As well as removing the cost of travel, video conferencing also saves the time that is spent travelling – allowing it to be better allocated. This ability to allow any number of people to attend a conference anywhere in the world - without the need to leave the office and waste time and money travelling to another location – makes video conferencing the perfect business tool.
