Skype, Helping Make the World Even Flatter

January 27, 2016 Aerocom

Lets face it, no one likes meetings- especially ones that you have to travel for. The cost for transportation can look disheartening notably when you transit yourself a far distance using a car or an airplane. This can cost you at a range from $624 to $1,293, which can vary depending on such major cities for example, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, New Orleans, Boston, etc. In addition, this outlay can be doubled or even tripled if you’re traveling abroad to another country. What’s even worse is when nothing gets done and you’re time commuting to another company is wasted. However, what if I told you can reduce your expenses on travel using one simple product service?

The solution, web conferencing, helps you reduce travel expenses by bringing groups together from multiple locations. With this service you are able to talk and see all the employees with out having to leave your office. This enables you to conduct and structure live gatherings, presentations, training or marketing launches via Internet. Web conferencing gives you access to video collaborative sessions completed with whiteboards for interactivity, document, desktop or application sharing. If you are worried about security issues the user can establish parameters to limit attendees to specific addresses and with automatically discarding documents once a meeting ends.

This product is good for getting human interaction and avoiding any miss communication that can occur through simple messages. Though there are many companies out there with similar features here’s one company that has already set itself apart from the rest and is bringing out a new innovative idea to life.unnamed

SKYPE, a web conferencing software application, has recently announced the launching of free “group” video calling that can be accessed on Android, iPhone, iPad and Windows 10 mobile devices. The move in this project was in celebration of Skype’s 10 year anniversary and accomplishments. Though Skype didn’t provide an exact launch date, interested users were offered a way to sign up for early access to the feature by filling out a provided pre-registration form on their website. Though the features are the same as that of web conferencing, I still believe that this will be a game changer not only in the web conferencing world, but in the mobile device world too. Making improvements in areas such as:

Team collaboration:
Improvement in the way we see face-to-face interactions and conference meetings without being in the same room. For example, this would be great for employees that work in an environment where they don’t have access to a computer or laptop. They could just converse at the web meeting through their mobile device.

Time Efficiency:
Enhancing time and cost of traveling, making it ideal for those who are always on the go, while creating a more flexible way in managing one’s schedule.

In today’s state-of-the-art technologies provide companies with many different options, which can be difficult to choose from. Here at AEROCOM we make it easier to form such decisions. We open our reviews to you, the public, on providers such as Skype so you can search overall ratings by product category or specific service provider. For example take a look at these reviews on Web conferencing below.

@Skype
“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.”
-Tim Porterfield

@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 doesn’t 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.”
