Reduce costs and increase productivity

If travel is a core part of doing business and yours is a distributed organization, you can start reducing costs right away. The new breed of enterprise video is so clear and user-friendly that it can replace travel in many instances, reducing environmental and travel costs while increasing productivity and saving time. Videoconferencing also makes great sense if you are upgrading your network for the move to Unified Communications (UC), which highlights videoconferencing as a productivity enhancer.

Video comes of age

As video technology matures and data transfer technology improves, enterprises are choosing the medium as one pillar of their communications portfolio. Not only are there strong benefits to videoconferencing, but the experience is better than ever. The muddy resolution of yesteryear is gone, replaced with a vastly improved user experience.

On top of immediate costs savings, here are four more reasons to embrace video in your organization:

• Increase remote/teleworker collaboration
• Use existing bandwidth thanks to new data transfer mechanisms
• Further your environmental mandate
• Video equipment price points are decreasing

Out of the boardroom

As more enterprises adopt UC, it will boost adoption of videoconferencing, a core part of all UC solutions. The drive to UC has also resulted in more uses of the medium, previously limited to boardrooms. Here are some ways you can use video today:

• Executive Desktop Videoconferencing, with far higher quality than other video-over-Internet-Protocol solutions
• Video Conferencing, a new standard in conference room video communication
• Telepresence, an executive solution for immersive meeting experiences

Getting started with video

To take advantage of the many benefits of  videoconferencing, start by establishing key objectives such as travel cost savings, supporting an environmental mandate and/or increasing efficiency. Next, make sure that your network is able to handle the increased demand in bandwidth. You may also benefit from a video readiness assessment or proof of concept – things with which a major videoconferencing solutions provider should be able to furnish you.
