Video conferencing is a technology that has been toyed around with for years, and until recently received little recognition. Living and working in the business world today, is not as affordable or easy as it used to be. Over the summer, as gas prices hovered around $5 a gallon across the country, everyone was forced to take a second look at their spending and look for ways to dramatically cut back.

 

With all the traveling required by many business professionals today, video conferencing offers a solution to significantly cut spending, increase productivity and reduce carbon emissions.

 

With major players jumping at the chance to become full-service video conferencing service providers, they've also created high-quality telepresence, as well as powerful desktop video conferencing solutions. These new innovations are making video conferencing a must-have for competitive enterprises.

 

To learn more about these recent enhancements to video conferencing technology, join Global IP Solutions’ (News - Alert) Vice President of Engineering, Dr. Jan Linden, along with RADVISION's office of the CTO, and Simon Sherrington, an independent analyst for Light Reading, for a live Webinar this Thursday, October 30, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. EST / 6:00 p.m. London time.
