What is Conferencing?

Video Conferencing

The most formidable and technologically advanced of all conferencing solutions, video conferencing is the closest one can get to a face-to-face meeting without leaving one's office.

Why use Video Conferencing?

1. A video conference is as close as you can come to an in-person meeting without traveling. It is most appropriate for important meeting, discussions and negotiations when traveling would be prohibitive or unnecessary due to high costs and large time involvement. Since business relations depend largely on success of interpersonal communication, you can achieve the highest results and the most impact with a personal video conference.

2. Video conferencing can help bring together groups of people who work in different cities, or even countries, enhancing the social aspect of work collaboration.

Audio Conferencing

An audio conference is a phone call which has two or more participants who can have a live discussion with each other. Audio conferencing provides powerful ways to collaborate with customers, partners and employees, located around the world.

Why use Audio Conferencing?

1. Audio conferences are conducted by using a regular telephone and therefore the participants of an audio conference will never need any new technical knowledge.

2. No new equipment is required for any participant.

3. It provides instantaneous communication and feedback.

4. It reduces your travel costs and allows for more productive staff time.

Web Conferencing

A web conference takes place when two or more computers connect and share one work environment, transmitting information in the form of text, graphics, digital sound, or digital video. Web conferencing allows you to share documents and applications, make presentations, and conduct tutorials.

Why use Web Conferencing?

1. A web conference is an ideal medium for any type of presentation to participants located in different cities or countries. You will be able to conduct a presentation directly on your computer as if your audience members were sitting right next to you and watching the screen.

2. Web conferencing is also a great solution for situations when people in multiple locations need to collaborate on a document, or a project, which requires real-time interaction.

3. Web conferencing is ideal for web-based tutorials and software training. In Q&A sessions held over web conferences the conference participants can receive real-time replies and demonstrations pertaining to their questions.

Meeting Rooms

Reservation-less (Meeting Rooms) conferencing is the most versatile type of conferencing suited for those who desire the most flexibility in their use of conferences. Reservation-less conferences are available for audio, video and web conferencing. A reservation-less conference subscriber has a dedicated meeting room which can be accessed by an unlimited number of participants at any time without the need for scheduling a conference. For example, if you subscribe to a reservation-less video conference, you will have a dedicated meeting room number and access code which you will be able to use on a regular basis to connect with multiple video participants.
