Are you tired of me talking about video conferencing yet? As much as I would like to be discussing the NBA play-offs (I’m a Bull’s fan) it’s not making me nor you any $$… but what is? Video!
If you got the latest addition of Conferencing News, you
would see that it’s heavily covering video conferencing. Looking out
about 6-12 months is when the video world is going to explode. What
is causing this shift?
1. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)-
there’s that word again. I’ve mentioned it many times. IT departments are
digging BYOD. People are now accustomed to having technical solutions at
home, they are use to desktop solutions and apps. IT departments are
positively responding to features such as forward facing cameras. This
makes video conferencing an attractive prospect for enhancing BYOD.
2. Collaboration-
it’s here. It’s no longer a buzz word. People are now sharing as
well as collaborating. In the past, people would speak on the phone and
then follow up on email. Today- this is happening together. This
shift is due to the fact that people are naturally collaborating in their
personal lives. We now use desktop and mobile video conferencing to chat,
share internet links, photos, collaborate on documents, etc. Video
Conferencing allows a platform for these team collaboration spaces to take
place and businesses are realizing they are effective, productive, efficient
and convenient.
3. Interop,
Interop, Interop- there’s this word again too….. The video conferencing
industry has always been particularly closed forcing businesses to commit to
one vendor for long periods of time… that is gone! Barriers are being
broken by the convergence of telecom. Businesses seek non-proprietary
open solutions. What this means is today, video is a thing you do vs. being
a place you’d go to. (like a conference room).
