In today's world, success in a
particular area of human activity, be it industry, business, or education, is
determined by the speed and quality of communication between people. Sometimes
it is suddenly necessary to consult with colleagues, take a collective
decision, or simply communicate with family and friends. However, just talking
on the phone is not enough. In this case, there are two ways to solve this
problem.
The first way is to simply gather
everyone in the same room and quietly communicate, but the distance, time,
state of health and dozens of other factors do not always allow this.
The second way is to use some kind
of telecommunication technical tool, such as video conferencing.
To decide whether video
conferencing is needed for you and your business, try answering a few
questions.
Want to cut travel expenses?
If, in accordance with the
specifics of your business, frequent business trips are necessary to conduct
business negotiations, then tangible financial expenses are inevitable:
transportation to the destination and back, hotel or hotel accommodation and
other unforeseen travel expenses. On the other hand, using video conferencing,
you can discuss all the details of your business with a business partner
without leaving the office.
Do you need your employees in different places to instantly join working groups for joint discussion?
If your employees are dispersed
across different regions of the country and the world, and suddenly there is a
need to discuss something “face to face”, video conferencing will allow you to
do this easily, quickly and with full confidentiality of the negotiations.
Will your business benefit from the speed of decision making?
Communication with the effect of the
presence of all colleagues in the same room, when mimic and other gestures of
interlocutors are visible, significantly increases mutual trust, the quality of
information transfer and contributes to the speed of joint decision-making.
Want to contact all departments as often as possible?
Employees from remote offices of
the enterprise may feel deprived of information from the central office. In
this case, frequent videoconferencing will help solve problems, take joint
decisions and increase staff morale.
Do your customers and suppliers have a video conferencing system?
Modern standards-based
videoconferencing systems are easily integrated with other audio and visual
systems. Sometimes to establish a connection is enough to press a button.
Does your business depend on the skill of individual remote experts?
Video conferencing allows you to
attract remote employees as a single company resource. Each individual employee
can share information with other remote colleagues in the "face to
face" mode, increasing labor productivity and saving the company money on
the costs associated with office work.
Want to simplify the recruitment of new employees?
If your business needs to recruit
employees from various remote regions, a video conference interview will significantly
reduce the time and cost of finding the right employees.
Want to conduct training for your employees?
Video conferencing is perfect for
conducting various training, consultations, seminars and other educational
activities to increase the professionalism of employees. This saves time and
money on the periodic collection of all employees at one time and in one place.
Even the most superficial review of
the possibilities of using video conferencing shows the advantages of this type
of telecommunication in many areas of human activity. In this case, a weighty
argument is the saving of effort, time and money to overcome the space-time
constraints. And by and large, the environment is preserved due to the
reduction in transport movements and the reduction of harmful emissions into
the atmosphere.
