As the enterprise continues to expand globally, the ability to communicate across geographic borders is gaining in importance. At the same time, organizations throughout the global economy are cutting their travel budgets, demanding that professionals find alternative, but comparable, methods to conduct effective communication.

 

As a result – the demand for the Web meeting is growing.

 

The evolution of online collaboration is moving swiftly from primarily PC-based communications to maximizing the capability of the smartphone. As more and more professionals are mobile, they are increasingly demanding applications that extend their ability to communicate on the go and in real-time.

Smartphone demand has already surpassed that of computers, PCs and even regular handsets. To respond to this growing market opportunity, every major cell phone OEM is offering or designing a smartphone and companies such as Cisco, Microsoft (News - Alert) and Acer are wanting a piece of the iPhone and BlackBerry success by entering the smartphone field in one form or another.

 

Professionals can increasingly conduct Web meetings directly from their smartphones as they have access to increased capabilities and new applications. The benefit of this feature will continue to drive developers to deliver increased capabilities to extend the value of the Web meeting.

Beyond Web meetings, business professionals and consumers are increasingly using these devices for communication that goes beyond telephony. These users are relying on VoIP more than ever as a convenience and as a way to reduce phone bills. Those telecom companies who are experiencing a flattening of their basic telephone sales are getting in the game to push smartphone device use and therefore – revenue.  

 

The ability to conduct a Web meeting on a smartphone requires more than simply using the smartphone. Users don’t want to lose capability to gain the convenience of the smartphone and at the same time, don’t want to be tethered to a PC to maximize the meeting experience. As a result, users need Bradon Technologies’ SAViiDesk.
