Benefits of Video Web Conferencing
Imagine the possibilities if you could turn your “home office” into a Virtual Office where you could see and hear your visitors, communicate with video, audio and text, share files, share your desktop, share a browser, show a power point presentation or a Live Show!
VoIP Conferencing, also known as Video Web Conferencing, can really help you expand your online business. Video web conferencing is technology that enables a person, business or group to put together live online conferences, presentations, training, meetings, and seminars (also known as webinars). These conferences are viewed and participated in by people on their own home or office computers. VoIP web video conferencing often includes software that allows you to share documents and applications with participants, share what is on your computer desktop, view live video, view recorded video, listen to live audio, watch slide show presentations, and even have group participation in live chatting or online white-boarding.
So here are the top 5 benefits for implementing video web conferencing in your business:
1) Increases Employee Productivity
Top industry analysts at Wainhouse Research agree that video web conferencing allows employees to get more work done faster and more efficiently. They can share ideas and information instantly online, quicker than meeting in-person, have the ability to include more people in the discussion, so decisions can be made much faster. This helps companies keep their competitive edge and ultimately adds to their bottom line.
2) Saves time
In the fast-paced, global world of business, it’s important for employees to have the option of meeting online if they can’t physically get to a meeting or to the office. Especially if they have a sick child or are caring for an elderly parent. Also, meeting online eliminates the downtime and hassle of getting to a meeting across town or even in another building. No more interruptions of work when you have an afternoon meeting. It will also boost morale and decrease key employee turnover as you provide more flexibility in the workplace. Happy employees waste less time, get more work done, and increase your bottom line.
3) Cut travel costs
Video web conferencing drastically cuts business travel costs. The average cost for a meeting for 10 people (including airfare, hotel, car rental and/or transportation, meals, entertainment, and tips) is $15,949. The cost of unlimited meetings online is $79 per month. That’s a 94% cost savings! Plus, video web conferencing makes it easy for anyone, anywhere to attend training sessions, sales meetings, supplier meetings, etc. Employees will appreciate not having to be away from their families for days at a time. Or the extra cost and stress of traveling from one location to another.
4) Improve Relations
Employees can keep in closer contact with both customers and co-workers online. This speeds up the communication process because no longer do you have to email large files back and forth. You can go over important documents online together just like you would in person. The more you keep in contact with your customers to come up with helpful solutions to their concerns – the more profitable the relationship will be to your bottom line.
5) And lastly…You will save money by greening up your business!
Did you know that the average American worker spends an average of 47 hours per year commuting through rush hour traffic? By meeting online instead, you will be cutting down on thousands of pounds of carbon monoxide pollution every year. It’s really important for companies to be good stewards of the environment and not compromise your responsible company image.
