Video Conferencing

Perhaps one of the biggest draws of video conferencing is the ability to conduct

business meetings or lectures with people hundreds or even thousands of miles away. In a time where company spending is being curtailed, video conferencing offers an eco friendly and economically viable way to liaise with clients, where expensive flights, taxi's or other transport methods are not required.

Business can be carried out between different company offices throughout the world, negating the need to pay for hotels as well as travel and subsistence expenses. As well as between offices, video conferencing can be carried out between individuals, from the comfort of their own homes. This is ideal for those living in remote areas, without easy access to transport hubs and also for those who may have physical disabilities - for whom; conducting business in familiar surroundings can be more helpful.

As with a standard face-to-face meeting, video conferencing allows for visual interaction between individuals, who can interact simultaneously. It is widely thought that such interactions produce a more effective business meeting, as protagonists can see the body language of the other party and act accordingly, as well as feeling more comfortable in a 'real life' eye-to-eye situation.

Despite the innovative nature of the technology, you won't need a plethora of systems to facilitate video conferencing. Many dedicated companies will be able to set such systems up with ease, tailoring them to your business needs. Indeed, components for the system include standard technology such as a video camera or webcam; computer monitor, television or projector; microphones; loudspeakers and the internet or LAN.
