In today's business world, there's no telling where workers will be located. Some may be in your office while one team is overseas, and others are made up of contract workers around the country. With video conferencing, none of that distance matters when it's time to collaborate and get work done.
Managing Long Distance
Many workers can't be in the office all the time, and some may not even live in the same region. However, that doesn't mean that you can't manage them effectively. With effective video conferencing, you can meet with one or two workers, or a larger team, any time that you need to. The visual and audio interface allow for meetings to be conducted just as they would be if everyone were in the room together.
Desktop Conferencing Systems
While some conferencing equipment is self-contained, other types can be used with the computers that workers already have. This can be a good option for businesses that have far-flung employees who rarely if ever, step into the office. They can use the software to turn their computers into the necessary equipment to attend every meeting. This is an easy approach that may also provide cost savings to the company.
Telepresence Conferencing
Another way to create the best meeting conditions is to use self-contained equipment that will capture everyone's voice and likeness for transmission from a central area. With this system, you can group some of your team in the room with the equipment while other members of the meeting attend through a screen. This arrangement often feels more like an in-person meeting for many workers. Another arrangement is to have one room completely outfitted with conferencing equipment, so that little has to be done once workers are in the room. This is often done when there is a lot of equipment needed for a larger group to meet.
