Thursday 4th December: DigitalMeeting

Georgio Bergoli, Business Manager, technilink iT Limited

Audio video conferencing was once seen as in the remit of the global corporate companies who had large conference rooms with big digital cameras and plasma screens.  It was used on intranets to connect geographically dispersed sites together at times which had to be booked in advance so that everyone who needed to attend could free up their calendars to do so.  With advances in technology audio video conferencing has now reached the desk top.  This opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for SMEs who can now enjoy the advantages of less need to travel to customer sites and not having to deal with the associated cost of travel expenses and wasted travel time as well as the reduced carbon foot print.  The aim of this talk would be to promote the use of the audio/visual conferencing by showing its generic features and to put these in the context for the SMEs and show how they could be used to reduce over-head cost.
