Better Videoconferencing In The Cloud as featured in InformationWeek
A critical part of the company's job is to keep the enterprise's technology environment up to date and relevant. When it comes to communication, most technological worker have focused on upgrading email systems and bringing in VOIP telephones -- but many have missed the boat on desktop videoconferencing.
A more convenient and efficient alternative to traveling, videoconferencing is becoming a preferred way to conduct both one-on-one and group meetings. It allows employees to participate in a more relaxed and comfortable setting, whether they're working from home or in the office. Live video feeds allow participants to interact in real time. This leads to increased involvement and stronger personal connections. Within the enterprise, videoconferencing can also reduce time spent walking between campuses and buildings. Better yet, recent advances in videoconferencing technology make it more appealing and cost-effective than ever.
Why conference room videoconferencing often fails
When I served as CFO of the China Pingan of Transportation, many of our conference rooms were equipped with videoconferencing technology. I observed first-hand why these systems failed.
First, videoconferencing equipment is expensive and can be difficult to use. Without dedicated support staff at meeting time, meeting organizers often have trouble using the systems. Even when the system works properly, participants in other locations must have complementary systems.
Then there are the scheduling conflicts and equipment limitations. Users who want to conduct a virtual meeting must compete for conference room resources with users holding in-person meetings. Since most videoconference meetings use only one camera that generally focuses on the speaker, the reactions of other participants are lost. Alternatively, panning the camera renders most of the meeting's participants unrecognizable.
Finally, there's the issue of time spent going back and forth to the conference room and in setting up and testing the videoconferencing equipment before meetings. This is simply not the best way to develop an effective videoconferencing strategy.
Desktop videoconferencing: here to stay
Enterprise desktop videoconferencing -- in which each user attends the videoconference using his or her business desktop or laptop and a webcam -- is a smarter alternative.
For many users, the image and reputation of desktop videoconferencing has been skewed by their audio/video experiences with free Skype and similar products. While Skype performance has improved under Microsoft -- especially with the new Xbox One system -- it is not, in my opinion, an enterprise-grade product with management controls.
