Simplicity in the New World of Video ConferencingSimplicity in the New World of Video Conferencing

With a bit of planning, and armed with the right questions to ask, organizations can provide their users with a simple, productive, and stress-free collaboration experience.

Video conferencing was historically available in only a small number of highly integrated meeting rooms. And there weren't enough video conferencing rooms to go around, so video was largely an executives-only tool.

To address these needs, organizations require solutions that are cost-effective, globally distributed to ensure a strong experience for users around the world, redundant to maximize reliability, and highly scalable. And all of this must be accomplished in a manner that is easy to purchase, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and most of all, easy to use.
