Video Conferencing

The Foundation for Your Modern Workplace

Integrating Video Collaboration Into Your Everyday Business for Success

There are more online meetings than ever before. The average employee meets 8 times per week. For executives in high-tech industries that number shoots up to 17 online meetings a week. A collaborative, connected workforce is fueling rapid growth in virtual meetings. More than one-third of all meetings are now virtual meetings. Participants can attend from remote offices, the road, or anywhere with a phone line.

That´s why today’s mobile workforce highly depends on technology to stay connected. A device with the right technical amplification can stretch the physical boundaries of the office and act as a virtual meeting room. Throw in modern office solutions such as Microsoft 365 and you increase the demand for compatible video conferencing solutions as part of your overall Unified Communications (UC) strategy.

Different Types of Video Conferencing (VC) Systems

From managing remote teams to closing business deals overseas, video conferencing has become a critical need for businesses of all sizes and functions. With HD video streaming and clear, noise-reducing audio, the best video conferencing technology can transform your business operations by bringing an in-person experience to your digital meetings. For a successful video conference, you need a few tools. Depending on your needs, there are different types of video conferencing systems you can choose from.

Prepare for Your Way of Hybrid Work

The workplace has changed on a foundational level. Today’s modern team doesn’t need to be located in the same rbuilding to be productive. The age of the hybrid, flexible, and remote worker has finally arrived. In this new landscape, companies are downsizing their physical real-estate, reworking their employment strategy, and making significant changes to the way teams will connect in the years to come. The meeting room is one of the most significant environments facing a massive change in the age of hybrid work. Now that around 74% of the workforce wants to continue working from home for at least 2 days per week, the hybrid workforce appears to be the design of the future.

Video Conferencing is Here to Stay – No Matter the Industry

Manufacturing

From procurement to engineering to final product review, video conferencing improves manufacturing efficiency every step of the way.

Healthcare

Immobile patients or patients who live in remote areas can receive medical care and be monitored from the comfort of home.

Education

Video conferencing in the classroom facilitates incredible interactive learning experiences.

Video call with people from different industries

Finance

There’s no substitute for looking someone in the eyes while making some of life’s most critical decisions and business deals.

Global Business

Whether collaborating with internal teams or with partners and customers, global businesses rely on video conferencing to share information, solve problems and make decisions quickly.

Government & Public Sector

Video conferencing provides a cost-effective way to extend the reach of governmental programs while delivering an authentic way to stay connected with teams and partners.

No question about it, video conferencing that is simply serviceable or rigid and unevolving is no longer a viable option to support modern, hybrid work. Building a thriving Human Enterprise in the coming years hinges on video communication — ultimately finding a better way to support the humans behind modern work.
