Video Conference - Corporate Tool or Toy?

There are many advantages to having a Video Conference Solution - big or small organization.  Even with more and more home based staff, the tool is essential.  Communication, collaboration and effective meetings. 

Video conferencing has long been thought of as the technology for the big guys, the ones handling mergers and acquisitions and the like - not something the average business could afford or make use of.  In the last few years, the advancement in technology, bandwidth affordability, and the business capability drive has changed a few notions around this tool.  Video conferencing is not only a viable technology for business of any size but a necessity.

The technology of many video solutions today will interface with other solutions, making it a more open use, and not just a closed or proprietary toolset.  That opens the door to many more applications of use and leverage - more than just meetings. 

We always hear many customers say that video conference solutions are to complicated, to expensive, and not worth the investment.  We always say, stop, take a moment to see how far these solutions have come, how more user friendly they are, the simplicity and quality.  Plus the cost has come down - there are more solutions on the market today.

In my opinion, this technology has gone from corporate toy to a real business tool.  SMB can really benefit from the many new video solutions on the market today.  Let's us not only show you, but build some process and organizational function around the tool to get your ROI. 

Keep it positive!
