Management Meetings
Desktop video conferencing makes it fast and easy to hold board meetings, investor meetings, and even “town hall” style meetings without the time and expense involved in traveling to a central location. This is because meetings can be recorded and viewed at a later date.
Sales
From training new sales staff to interacting with clients to closing deals faster than was previously possible, desktop video conferencing is of tremendous value to the modern sales team.
Marketing
At its very core, marketing serves as method for effectively communicating a product’s value. Also, because somewhere around 90 percent of communication is actually non-verbal, the visual aspect of desktop video conferencing is incredibly valuable to marketing departments.
Engineering/Manufacturing/Production
Because products are usually designed, marketed, and manufactured at different sites, the introduction of desktop video can streamline a process that otherwise has a tremendous amount of room for miscommunication and costly errors.
Training
Because desktop video conferencing allows employees to be trained without requiring them to travel to your company’s central HQ, it allows organizations to train them quicker and more efficiently than ever before.
Although these are the most popular benefits, they are just the beginning. From human resources to legal to finance, the applications for desktop video conferencing are practically endless.
