With video conferencing being adopted by companies all over the
world, it is only normal that more and more news stories are being told in the
media about how web conferencing technologies are changing the business
landscape.
There have been many lately, such has how the Christian
Union has adopted the technology to provide counseling to the students in the
Ivy League universities, or how telemedicine is revolutionizing health care,
with doctors using video conferencing to provide consultation to patients at
home and in rural areas.
Last week, the Central Wisconsin Business website has
published an article on how video conferencing has enabled V&H Inc. Trucks,
a truck supplier based in Marshfield,
to increase productivity and save time and money on travels.
The truck company, which has offices in Wisconsin,
Kansas and North Carolina, used to fly employees across
the country to attend training seminars but now those days are over. The
company, which has recently deployed a web conferencing system, has found in
the new technology a valuable tool, allowing them to launch video conferences
and webcasts connecting employees and offering extra services to their clients.
The company created its own studio dedicated to video
conferencing and webcasting. It has purchased two high-definition cameras, four
mixing boards, a green screen, a teleprompter and several servers. Though
purchasing and deploying the studio wasn’t cheap the company is already
monetizing it by allowing customers to rent and use the equipment.
“We can help them communicate with their customers and employee.
No more travel time, no more airport hassle. We see it as a money saver,”
stated Cindy Gudgen, V&H Inc. Trucks system administrator, to the Central
Wisconsin Business.
The studio is already starting to impress customers which
think of it as a great opportunity to deploy webinars
and train employees without having to lose time and money on travelling and
accommodations.
But companies don’t need to spend thousands of dollars and
deploy a web conferencing studio to take advantage of everything that video
conferencing has to offer. Today there solutions in the market which deliver
video conferencing, webcast and remote
access tools in one appliance at very good prices, such as RHUB 6-in-1 web conferencing and remote
support appliance. Companies can adopt web conferencing without sacrificing
their budgets.
