Video Collaboration

• A virtual meeting service using video collaboration software
• Anytime, anywhere virtual meetings

Overview

Virtual meetings are becoming increasingly important as companies expand, travel budgets decrease, and travel becomes more expensive and socially unacceptable. There is a need to Connect, Communicate and Collaborate to remove the barriers of distance and time and to enable people to make decisions faster and accelerate innovation. Virtual Meetings can close the productivity gap created by using dispersed teams

What Is Video Collaboration?

Video Collaboration provides you with a software application which turns your Windows PC or Laptop into a powerful conferencing and collaboration tool. By adding a Web Cam, microphone and the software to your laptop computer you have an instantaneous, fully featured video conferencing and data collaboration endpoint that you can take with you and use wherever you are. Video Collaboration is an effective alternative to travelling for business meetings.

One of the major innovations to come to the video collaboration market is the advent of floating point, or concurrent, licenses.  An organization need not purchase a license for every possible user, but rather need only purchase enough licenses to facilitate the maximum number of concurrent calls likely to take place at any time.  Not only is this a cost effect method for deploying video collaboration technology, with just a few floating point licenses any organization can equip every member of staff with access to this powerful communications medium; and as with any communications network, the more users that have access to video collaboration the more useful the medium becomes.

Why Consider a Collaboration Service?

We are seeing an increase in the number of instances where organisations are starting to use a virtual meeting service routinely as part of their flexible working policy, thereby reducing travel and focusing on productivity. All too often existing tools such as audio conferencing, web conferencing and video conferencing do not provide the productivity among dispersed teams that they require. Video Collaboration has all the features needed to create a productive environment among dispersed teams in a virtual environment, but with IT groups overloaded and restrictions on capital budgets deployment can take too long. The answer is often for these enterprises to start using a Hosted Service.
