By Ralph Lockhart, Biamp Systems, 04 April 2009
Budgets are tight, now more than ever. Companies are looking for ways to stretch their dollars, to do more with less. Whether you're an integrator looking to provide added value to your customers or an IT professional needing to solve challenges for your company, distance conferencing provides an excellent solution for any business.
The return on investment with distance conferencing begins immediately. With these systems, the costs of organizing corporate meetings like mileage, airfare, hotels, meals and even venue rentals can be eliminated. Rather than traveling, attendees call into a common line. The time saved with distance conferencing increases productivity, maximizes efficiency and improves communication.
Systems today are better than ever. The sound reproduction is clean and authentic. Lag time and delay is reduced or eliminated. You can even create systems that allow double-talk, providing an experience as realistic as if you were actually in the room. Depending on budget, distance conferencing systems can be as simple as a speaker phone set-up or designed with additional features to create a true conferencing experience.
No matter what choice – or choices – you make, distance conferencing is sure to make the most of any budget, and offer an incredible return on investment. To calculate actual savings, download the form found here. Good luck and happy conferencing.
