  • Small Medium Businesses Video Conferencing

    For years, Video Conferencing has been perceived as a technology reserved for larger businesses, with the benefits of productivity, better engagement & customer relationships, and reduced travel costs often not enough to justify the large investment for SMB’s. However with an increase in lower cost video solutions, systems designed for smaller spaces, and cloud based virtual meeting spaces with a low capital cost, video conferencing and remote collaboration is now becoming widely adopted throughout the small business world, recognising the huge benefits it can now bring. 

    • Remove geographic boundaries to prevent employee skill gaps & shortages
    • Reduce & eliminate travel, whilst still enabling face-to-face communication
    • Manage remote workers, work from home & improve productivity, regardless of distance
    • Solutions to enable you to buy what you need now, and scale when you grow
    • With video cloud solutions & leasing/financing options, costs can be operational, not capital

    Video Conferencing and Collaboration tools provide a solution to many of the challenges faced, whether this be increased connectivity with team members, increased impact during presentations, finding and developing executive talent, saving money on travel, being able to access colleagues from anywhere, gaining access to specialists or improving personal connections with clients and customers.

    SMB’s have a much better chance of recruiting top talent if they can look outside of their town or county. Although SMB’s may not be able to compete on salaries, they can compete by being much more flexible, and although salary is very important, these days employees are also looking for the perks and high job satisfaction

    VIRTUAL MEETING ROOMS & THE CLOUD

    In the past, many small and midsized businesses have struggled to justify the costs associated with video conferencing – a HD MCU required for professional multipoint video conferencing can cost tens, even hundreds of thousands of pounds, and requirements for bandwidth, server space and equipment maintenance has kept this technology out of reach for the smaller organisations.

    However, the rise in cloud technology has effectively enabled SMB’s to access the benefits of video conferencing, by gaining access to another organisations large MCU’s and network infrastructure, without the upfront cost of owning the equipment themselves.

    Cloud-based video conferencing enables SMB’s to:

    • Benefit from improved communication with clients, customers & colleagues
    • Leverage experience, skills & resources from experienced & dedicated video conferencing experts
    • Pay monthly as a service rather than purchasing outright with a high upfront cost
    • Easily connect with mobile users & home workers, or specialists outside of the business network
