Have you ever counted up how much money you have spent on business travel and long-distance phone calls? How much time you have wasted flying back and forth, waiting at the airport and dealing with misunderstandings caused by confusing emails? While you continue to think over whether to purchase a video conferencing system, the amount of money you’ve wasted on unnecessary travel and long-distance communication continues to grow. To be more competitive in an ever changing global business environment, there are some things you should know about what video conferencing can do for you and your company.
Why Video Conferencing?
Cut down on costs According to an American Express survey, the cost for a typical international business trip originating in North America, including hotel, airfare, etc., is approximately $2,818. And, this amount is even greater when you factor in “undetectable” costs, such as extra administrative costs and the opportunity costs of having high-earning executives and managers sit and wait on 12-hour flights.
Time is money Merely to attend a 3-hour meeting in New York, a manager in Singapore has to spend more than 40 hours away from the office. So, stop thinking wasted time from business travel is unavoidable and embrace a smarter solution.
Efficient communication 60% of communication comes from body language, as opposed to spoken language, and that body language can deliver more information than spoken language as it relates to things like care, respect, sincerity and trust. With so much information lost when communicating via email and telephone, it is no mystery that it takes much more time and effort to communicate an idea through email or on the telephone, than it does just to talk face-to-face. Video conferencing improves communication efficiency by effectively establishing face-to-face communication through high resolution video quality, sensitive audio detection, and real-time video and audio delivery, helping to build up trust and reduce confusion during business meetings. With a video conferencing system in place, you can stop dealing with inefficient and frustrating discussions through emails and over the phone and have a face-to-face meeting anytime.
Gather talented staff from anywhere, anytime With video conferencing your company can recruit or make use of talented workers located anywhere around the world, or send employees to remote locations to work out problems and be able to connect with them as if they were still in the office. Video conferencing provides companies with an inexpensive, easy and convenient way to talk face-to-face frequently with branch office staff or people back at the main office.
Do your part to protect the environment Video conferencing is a “green” business solution. By regularly utilizing video conferencing to communicate with clients and partners, a company can reduce its carbon footprint by eliminating the pollution that would have resulted from business travel. A simple change can make a great difference in the fight to slow global warming and save our planet
