Looking for a way in which your business can interact between employees, customers, and partners anytime and anywhere? Well, then web conferencing just might be for you.

What is it?

Web conferencing, as stated by commonskys.com, is a “software based real-time communication that facilitates collaboration, meetings or information distribution between two or more parties using the Internet”. One of the primary benefits it holds is someone can use a web conferencing tool to connect with others. While you only have sound with a mobile phone meeting, a meeting through the net allows you experience like you are in the same space with the individuals you are interacting with. Some web conferencing systems include features such as texting, VoIP and full-motion video. In simple terms, its function is to disseminate large amounts of data to large amounts of people.

What’s in it for you and your business?

According to ReadyTalk, if you’re the average worker you’ll spend about 26 business days attending meetings. That’s a LOT of time. In addition, executive managers fly all over the world attending hour-long meetings here and there. With the introduction of virtual meetings and teleconferencing people can communicate with each other in different time zones and locations very easily and a great deal cheaper than the cost of a flight. Other benefits include:

Flexibility:

One of the key features of web conferencing is that you can share large applications easier and quicker. According to ZDnet.com, a study of 28,000 Web conferences, conducted by Netspoke Conferencing and analyzed by the Yankee Group, reveals that application sharing, rarely used as little as three years ago, but now it is used in a large majority of Web conferences.

Cost Efficiency:

As we said before, you can participate in meetings around the world at a reasonable cost. In addition, you can also save on the cost of training employees through webinar sessions. All this happens from your PC desktop. You eliminate all expenses and time lost incurred by travel to a meeting destination.

Increase Collaboration:

Your online users can meet up to discuss important business decisions or even work on projects via the web conferencing platform.

Web conferencing has a proven and significant positive impact in the businesses world. According to a study by Frost & Sullivan they state that, “55% of high-performance companies use web conferencing, 36% of company’s performance can be attributed to collaboration and 16% of performance was towards the company’s strategic planning.” The numbers speak for themselves. Web conferencing proves to be a worthy investment. However, it doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. With so many providers out there it can be a challenge to find the right fit for you or your company.

“This product has come in handy in our company for business meetings between sites and the occasional interview with potential new hires. We’ve been extremely happy with the results and have no plans on using any other service.”

Google:

“Google Hangout! Yet another great product offered by Google. This service, to date, has been flawless and allows a max of 10 users in one hangout. If the user doesnt have a video connection they can still join the hangout video telephone call in. Better yet, its free. We use google hangout for meetings and conference calls, internally and sometimes with clients, to make the conference experience a little more personal. Great product and would highly recommend for the small businesses.”
