Taking Telepresence Beyond the Board Room
(VC-01)
Friday - 01/22/10, 8:30-9:15am
A dramatic evolution is underway in the video conferencing industry, and the old way of thinking about video conference as confining participants to a secluded board room is quickly becoming a thing of the past. According to a recent industry analyst report, 63 percent of companies say they will be using video conferencing and telepresence systems by the end of 2010. The reality is that today’s global, dispersed enterprises have a need for video conferencing, and a new generation of unified communications technologies is entering the market to address this. This concept is being more widely understood, and the technology necessary for delivering the required level of service has only recently become available on any large scale.
This session will discuss how new Internet-based technologies are allowing seamless integration between telepresence systems, PCs, laptops, mobile devices and even smartphones, and how video conferencing is evolving to make it easy for people to hold face-to-face meetings anywhere, anytime, through any Internet-enabled device, dramatically altering the business communication landscape.
