See the categories below to get started learning about meeting online and video conferencing:

Getting started with web and video conferencing..

Prior to the Internet, business travel and a business meeting were the way to connect with customers and distant co-workers. The conference call, using standard telephone equipment and speakerphones, was a new way to reach out and connect with distant clients. Now, companies can save significant travel budgets by using online conferencing. This article will discuss the options for the best solutions for web conferences and video conferencing. What are the best video conferencing and tele-conferencing solutions and products? Read on..




So how does video conferencing work?
Web conferencing lets your easily connect and communicate in real time.
  • Webex - Share documents, make presentations, and collaborate with people across town and around the world. Web conferencing lets you use the power of the Inernet to hold meetings without leaving your office. No special hardware or software.
  • Corporate Conference Calls.com - audio, video, and web collaboration - 6 cents per line for tele-conferencing, 800 numbers from 12 cents. Flat rates from $15/mo with unlimited usage, no reservation needed. Meeting Central offers real-time, collaborative features that enable you to conduct your online meetings with ease.

How does web conferencing enhance productivity?

Skip the travel budget:

The biggest benefit to online conferencing is skipping the high cost of travel to have a business meeting. Using online web conference software, you can meet "virtually" with colleagues, co-workers, and customers around the country or around the world. Your conference attendees can see YOUR screen, your annotations, your applications runnings - whatever you need to present. Tele conferencing and conference calls allow multiple people to meet and speak at the same time, but web based conferencing moves to an entire new level - 5, 10, 50 people can attend your meeting or online training session, seeing and hearing everything that occurs.

Extended audience and reach:

Web based conferencing moves you way beyond the level of normal meetings. Products like Webex let you "take over" the PCs of your audience, driving the presentation and letting them see what you want them to see. You can walk thru a Power Point presentation, or present figures from Excel spreadsheets or MS Word. Any app running on your system will be visible to your clients. This is a great solution for remote sales training or marketing communications.

Skipping the web - tele-conferencing only:

Many traditional businesses have slowly adopted internet technology. For many, a standard conference call service more than serves their needs when it comes to one-to-many communication.
  • Regus Video Conferencing - Reduce travel costs by up to 75% by meeting with colleagues and clients over a secure video conferencing connection. With locations in 60 countries, theirs is the largest network of public access video conferencing studios in professional business environments. They’ll arrange every detail of your video conferencing event, including continued techincal support.
  • Budget Conferencing - 12 cents per minute, telephone based conferencing only (not internet)
  • True Conferencing - 10 cents per minute audio only (per person), web conferencing as well.
  • Meeting One - offer audio tele-conference and web conference: "MeetingOne's flexible conference calls and web presentations services support a broad range of business communication needs, including toll-free audio conferencing, pay per use online billing, free conference event visual management, data sharing, web seminars and online event management."
  • VCall - produce web events for large audiences - 100% browser based solution. Works for investor relations, marketing, training, human resources, or government.
Most Fortune 500 companies already have tele conferencing and web based conferencing solutions in place, so you may not have much say in the matter. But as a smaller company, you can pick and choose the solution that works best for you.
