What is Videoconferencing?
Videoconferencing
provides a complete simulation of a normal meeting environment, enabling distant parties to see, hear and present material,
just as if they were in the same room.
What are the advantages?
Live, moving pictures provide participants access to the visual data we rely on so much for nonverbal cues in communication,
especially when dealing with sensitive or divisive issues, seeing more than the people. Conferees can also jointly view and
discuss objects, documents and PC data, making the videoconference much more like a face-to-face meeting.
What are the benefits?
Videoconferencing
can speed up business process and procedures in the same way that the fax and the e-mail have revolutionized the way we share
information. Tangible benefits are most easily related to actual cost savings. The most obvious quantifiable saving is the
cost of travel and the cost of the time wasted during travel.
