What is Video-Conferencing?

Videoconferencing is the use of communication technologies to allow two or more people to see and hear one another in full motion video while being in different locations. At its most basic, it involves transmission of static images and text between two locations, whilst at its most sophisticated, it provides simultaneous transmission of full-motion video images and high-quality audio between as many as 8-10 multiple locations.

Digital video transmission systems typically consist of dedicated and highly specialized equipment such as integrated cameras, codecs (coder-decoder), network access equipment, network, and audio systems. By leveraging on such multi-way and synchronous systems, participants of the videoconference can hear, see and work together in real time from their own locations, as if all parties were in the same room.

Why Use Video-Conferencing?

Videoconferencing offers significant advantages over email or even voice communications. Benefits include:

• Improved Business Effectiveness - Nothing beats meeting face-to-face. Research shows that visual interaction amongst participants enhances understanding and helps cement business relationships.

• Significant Travel Cost Savings - Travel involves not just air-tickets but also hotel, land transport, visa, and other associated costs. Videoconferencing can provides savings as high as 20%-93% over conventional travel.

• Free Unnecessary Time Spent - A meeting may only take 2 hours but the time to get there is usually 2-10 times longer. This is unproductive time spent waiting at airports and queues, which do not contribute to your business.

• Reduced Business Risk - Traveling entails stress and the danger of spending time on the road or in the air. Not only do you need to pay for insurance, you need to consider if its worthwhile to risk your most valuable staff this way.

• Brings Groups Together - A videoconference session is a fixed cost but can accommodate as many as 20 people. The more people who can communicate, the greater they can share their expertise.
