...It Just Got Real!

H.R 2643- it’s getting real ya’ll!  :) 

Not often do you find me discussing politics since it’s a very touchy subject, but in the news this week, there was an interesting article on Govermentvideo.com, discussing the importance of video conferencing and spending.  http://www.governmentvideo.com/article/house-bill-seeks-to-increase-us-agencies%E2%80%99-use-of-video-conferencing/114593

The  house bill “Stay in Place, cut the waste” has been introduced (H.R 2643) that is requesting the director of the OMB to review how much the federal agency has reduced travel expenses by the use of Video Conferencing as directed by the existing President and OMB orders and as required by the Federal Law.   Furthermore, a bill already in place requires by fiscal year 2017, for Video Conferencing to achieve a 50% reduction in travel from year 2013.

What does this mean for you, our agents and of course your customers?  Long distance communication is a critical factor for many modern organizations, which must efficiently connect with virtual teams and remote workers on a timely basis. Face-to-face meetings just don't make much sense, when employees or clients are located hundreds or thousands of miles away. When businesses need a cost-effective way to bring everyone together, video conferencing offers the perfect solution. By removing the need for travel, this modern way of doing business lowers overhead, while also increasing efficiency by offering quicker results. In short: video conferencing helps organizations save money.  With our Mega Meeting and Vidyo products, you have two choices of video conferencing that can fit the need of your client.   Need to video blast out to 200 people?  Mega Meeting can accomplish this!  Need to have HD video for medical demonstrations?  Vidyo accomplishes that!   

Call me today to discuss your opportunity and let’s get a demo out to your client!
