Does your company hold meetings, conferences or even seminars that would involve many people having to commute from all over the country to one central point? Would a conferencing phone service allow you to improve your business?
Although voice and video conferencing is not a new technology it is becoming increasingly popular. A person-to-person meeting can never be completely replaced, but in many situations being able to not only hear but also see distant colleagues can improve communications and reduce the time involved in travelling and also cut costs.
A conferencing phone solution is an ideal medium to hold meetings as well as give lectures and training sessions. Although this technology appears to be quite futuristic, costs have decreased dramatically in recent years making it available to businesses of all sizes and not just large corporate companies. Travel savings are immediately apparent, why should you travel to another country to meet your colleagues around the world, when the meeting can be held in the comfort of your own office.
With the use of a conferencing phone solution you will be able to hold your meetings in real-time. Remove the hassle of the commute and enable your Directors to attend the monthly board meeting from the comfort of their own offices or even homes.
Experienced salesmen are hard to find, and are not always within your company’s geographical location. When you do find one, they tend to be a long commute from your head office and have to travel back and fourth to attend important sales meetings. Why not make life easier on yourself and your team by providing people who live long distances away the opportunity to attend regular meetings through the use of voice and video conferencing, allowing them more time to travel to those ever important customer appointments.
Training sessions have never been easier. Utilising the skill sets of your key members of staff and sharing their knowledge base to the rest of your team can now be done quickly, efficiently and cost effectively by using voice and video conferencing.
By agreeing the date and time of your conference meeting people can be joined together at the click of a button. The new levels of simplicity mean that past frustrations of initiating video conferencing are long gone. By simply calling participants and initiating the call session, the image of your colleague will appear on your PC screen and allow your meeting to commence. The party that initiates the conference has complete control of the session and is able to add and remove participants as required. Video conferencing and VoIP Internet conferencing is now so flexible that it can be delivered to your desktop, and not just the boardroom.
Conferencing phone services are now widely available and are not only specific to dedicated manufacturers, but are now available in the market place from some of the leading telecommunications suppliers with branded products tailored to meet the needs of their telecommunications system users.
- In a very simple one to one meeting including full audio and video links.
- It can be used in a meeting environment as in one person linking with several remote locations, for example training sessions, again making full use of visual and audio technology
- And lastly, group-to-group communications utilising audio and video between more than two sites.
The equipment required to achieve this type of technology usually involves a camera, a microphone, speakers, a video board and a network card; not as much as you may have thought would be necessary to achieve what could certainly be a benefit to your business.
