Companies Choose Video Conferencing to Weather the Economic Storm
Over the last ten years video conferencing has moved from important to essential to mission-critical for businesses worldwide. With the strong economic downturn over the last year, companies have faced severe cost-cutting measures that have limited travel and even eliminated large group events and quarterly global meetings. At the same time, organizations are also complying with mandates to reduce their carbon footprint which has reinforced the need to cut travel.
In this environment, video conferencing has become a smart alternative to travel for business. At one end of the spectrum, for executive and important sales and partner interactions, companies select larger immersive installations with HD video and life-size, face-to-face interaction that is as good as being there. At the other of the spectrum workers in all areas of their business interact day in and day out around the globe using personal and room video conferencing systems and laptop solutions. The truth of the matter is that companies are now able to choose a video conferencing solution for just about every requirement and every industry application.
Wainhouse Research supports the usefulness of video conferencing in today's economy. According to a study they just released, the video conferencing market "appears to be weathering the economic storm reasonably well, and is better positioned than many other industries to prosper in a cost-cutting, carbon-emission-cutting environment." In fact, as a viable business solution used to increase productivity while allowing companies to reduce expenses, video conferencing has become a very smart choice. Polycom holds the largest percentage of the video conferencing installed-base today.
