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.
