Web Conferencing

Cost Saving

Travel can be very expensive, and in an economic downturn, it’s one of the first costs companies cut. Even in good times, most companies are careful with their travel expenses. It’s safe to assume that travel costs are at least one or two orders of magnitude higher than web conferencing costs, and the difference grows quickly for large events. One thing is certain, travel costs continue going up while competition is driving the cost of web conferencing down.

Time Saving

Meetings and face to face seminars can take a lot of time – to arrange, to get there and back and to sit through. Web conferencing saves time by eliminating travel because you attend meetings where you are. This can save hours or days if the meeting, conference or training session is in another town. Web conferencing can make meetings more efficient and productive, and that can lead to fewer and shorter meetings.

Expand Your Reach

With web conferencing, you can meet with anyone, anytime, anywhere. This means you can work from home or any other remote location and still attend meetings, seminars and training sessions you would otherwise miss. Best of all, the convenience of web conferencing can attract an audience that you might not otherwise reach due to travel restrictions, time constraints, or work priorities. Or mena you can bring experts to input to your session that would not be able to attend in person.

Recording Meetings, Seminars or Training Sessions

Some web conferencing software allows online sessions to be recorded. People who are unable to attend a meeting, conference or presentation can watch the recording at a later time or date.

Increases Work Efficiency

Planning face to face events typically takes more work than simply inviting or mandating attendees. If you are the host, you have to book a conference room, plan the agenda and in some cases order catering and more. Web conferencing eliminates all of these booking needs, which means putting together a meeting is faster and easier than face-to-face meetings.

Carbon Savings

While reducing your carbon emissions may not have a direct impact on your company’s bottom line, it does have an impact on the environment’s bottom line. If that’s important to you, using web conferencing is something you can feel good about.

Inclement Weather

If physical doors are closed due to inclement weather the virtual doors can stay open.
