Teleconferencing Technology
by Michael Russell
 Teleconferencing
technology has provided businesses with an entirely new
way of communicating over long distances. In fact, it
helps business save money on travel expenses and has also
helped business owners increase the productivity of their
business by providing them with the ability to communicate
via telecommunication methods. Finally, as more businesses
catch onto the teleconferencing technology wave, people
will see more and more businesses reaping the.
Teleconferencing technology gives businesses the ability
to have meetings over long distances, conduct business
briefings, employee training sessions, workshops, seminars,
lectures and more between individuals who might not otherwise
be able to easily get together. So what exactly is teleconferencing
technology and how does it work?
First, there are different forms of teleconferencing technology.
For one thing, teleconferencing is not only available
to businesses; it is also available to individuals in
their homes. The most simplistic version of teleconferencing
technology can be identified in the use of three-way calling,
a simple technology that allows several individuals to
talk at one time while they are all located in different
locations. Many people make use of this on a daily basis,
to communicate with friends and family and thoroughly
enjoy the ability to all talk together.
As well, businesses and corporations make effective use
of such technology. Every day, businesses conduct conference
calls that make information exchange between offices,
employees, or from one business location to another far
simpler than in the past when they relied on special mailing
and meetings to share such information.
Thus, serving both the individual and businesses, teleconferencing
technology appears to have a promising future indeed.
Teleconferencing can also be conducted online, along with
other types of online conferencing services. Alternative,
yet similar, to teleconferencing are the web conferencing
techniques that are also available. With the Internet,
companies can use both live web feed and audio to conduct
meetings and make business plans. Further, with various
web conferencing features, businesses can benefit from
the use of special software applications like that in
Excel, Access, PowerPoint, and can transmit various images
from one place to another within a matter of moments.
Conversely, a simplistic method of web conferencing includes
using instant messaging systems and privately designed
chat rooms in which businesses can conduct discussions,
meetings, planning of projects and more.
In the end, the benefits of teleconferencing and web conferencing
are tremendous. Businesses and individuals can communicate
with relatively little expense and just a little bit of
planning. Plus, travelling is not required to keep employees
or other individuals up-to-date and informed about important
events. Likewise, for the individual, both teleconferencing
and web communications offer a unique way for people to
keep in touch with one another. Thus, in saving of precious
time, equally precious money, and in the ease with which
communication is established and maintained, teleconferencing
and web conferencing provide unique benefits to all individuals
that choose to embrace and utilize the technologies afforded
to them.
