Video Conferencing Helping Businesses Reduce Costs

Businesses across the spectrum continue to search for new ways to improve productivity while reducing costs. I recently came across an interesting analysis of ?just that. Check out the article below.

A need to reduce costs and the rise of the internet has led to many companies turning their attention to the capabilities offered by video conferencing.

This is according to Jon Knight, audio visual expert with Smarterinteractive.co.uk, who believes that the technology is revolutionising the way in which colleagues communicate with each other while at the same time delivering a significant cost benefit to the firm.

Indeed, with businesses under more pressure to deliver profits than ever before, reducing costs but doing it in a green way is a particularly hot topic in many board rooms.

But Mr Knight is keen to point out that none of this would be possible if it wasn?t for the advances in broadband speed which have been made over the past few years.

He said: ?Because of the rise of the internet and the fact that bandwidth is now more available, you can set somebody up to use their standard broadband connection at home and be involved in a video call up to a high definition [standard] that even two or three years ago may not have been achievable.

?So if you combine the economic factors with the environmental factors and the fact that the majority of businesses can feasibly look into this type of technology, without having to spend time or money investing in infrastructure ? it?s really the combination of those three things together that have led to the fact that video is beginning to take off in a big way again.?

He added that people being able to work from remote locations was a good way in which a company can ensure that its carbon emission are kept to a minimum.

His comments follow on shortly after Mr Abramson, author of VoIPWatch, suggested that video conferencing coupled with VoIP-based telephony systems will lead the way in business to business communications in the near future.
