Video Conferencing, Telepresence, Audio Visual & Video Conference
Generation Y, Millennial Generation or Net Generation; irrespective of how you label the demographic, like other generations, they have been shaped by developments and trends of its time.
Traditionally, videoconferencing has been predominantly used by the business world. From its early development in the early 1970’s to the recent surge in interest since TANDBERG became part of Cisco, the key application for video-based communications is to enhance business decisions and add value to an organisations bottom line, usually from huge savings on travel budgets.
In the last year there have been increasing instances of global disruption to business. First swine flu, then record winter snow storms and BA’s cabin crew dispute, and now a volcanic eruption, all of which have highlighted the weakness of a business world so reliant on its international connections.
