With today’s
demands for real-time communication in the areas of manufacturing,
healthcare, finance, education, sales, etc., the request
for alternative methods of “face to face” time
is steadily increasing. With a continuous increase
in fuel cost added to the equation, CXO’s are looking
for technological means to assist in keeping travel
expenses under control. Video Conferencing allows real-time
meetings with the ability to display power points as
well as other desktop applications simultaneously. The
total number of locations within a network can be determined
within a business assessment.
