Onlinemeeting rooms has introduced to the market a simple and cost effective method of holding meetings below is an article concerning this.
November 23, 2005 (Press Release) --
Most companies these days get their message across and get their personnel involved in decision making by holding meetings. Meetings are a very good way to ensure that the personnel concerned can ask any questions, air grievances and generally ensure that the company take all it’s people in the direction in which it would like them to go. Added to this many companies now have people scattered all over the place both nationally and internationally. Getting them to meetings can be both time and cost consuming. There are some companies who also consider the safety of their personnel when travelling and we can add to that the factor of using the worlds limited fuel supply in getting them to travel to meetings by car, rail or plane.
Please don’t get me wrong there is a time and a place for face to face meetings and they will never be replaced. But, there is an interim solution and that comes in the form of video conferencing. When this subject is raised it can get all sorts of alarm bells ringing since quite a few people hate them with a passion. There is now a service available that makes video conferencing very simple and in doing so takes the stigma out of using it.
Along comes onlinemeetingrooms with a service that can be used on a PC in any form, Mac and emerging WiFi PDA’s. PC’s talking to Mac’s and or Mac’s talking to PC’s. It’s as simple as booking a hotel room and just turning up for a meeting. Their system uses, ideally, a broadband connection through the website login, a webcam and a head set from a PC to get as many as six attendees online (in a room) at a time and they can all see each other. There is nothing to stop getting several attendees onto one webcam. The attendees can see each other in six separate panes on their PC. There is a section of the screen given to viewing slides making presentations or even writing minutes of the meeting.
This unique feature of the onlinemeetingrooms service is that there are no downloads or setting up to do. All you do is book it get a “key” in the form of a user name and password, log into the meeting at the agreed time and off you go. The video and sound quality are as good as the devices you use..
The costs are also very competitive and they can be bought by the hour or a customised package. With the customised package the client has complete control with their own server. Used by the hour onlinemeetingrooms will host the meeting for you but you only pay for the time you use the service.
After all you will still get your message across and personnel will understand but they have not had to waste time and money travelling to meetings it would seem that all win, the company personnel, the company and above all the customers who get a very clear message.
