Videotelephony

In many organizations, significant resources are allocated to having employees travel to meet new and existing clients. The financial and productivity costs of having employees conduct much of their business with these clients can be dramatically reduced by desktop videoconferencing (DVC); essentially a video- and voice-enabled conversation over the internet between two or more parties. Using appropriate technologies such as a webcam, microphone and speakers or headset, combined with document sharing software, these meetings can take place from each party's respective office. This analysis explores the potential economic benefits allowed by converting a portion - or all - of your employee's meetings from traveled meetings to DVC.
