If your office’s phone systems don’t include video conferencing capabilities, it’s time to equip your company with this essential feature. This technology is a must-have for any company operating in the Digital Age. Discover how your employees and your company overall can benefit from video conferencing with the guide below.

Why Does Your Company Need Video Conferencing?

1. Connect Remote Teams

Many companies are now offering work-from-home positions. By enabling a dispersed workforce, you can open your company up to a wider pool of talent. However, your remote workers must also have an opportunity to connect with colleagues to collaborate on projects. While phone systems and email are effective for quick updates, in-depth conversations require video conferencing. This enables you to make eye contact, share screens to discuss projects, and record meetings.

2. Improve Communication

If you’re relying only on phone systems to speak with your clients, business prospects, and employees, you’re missing out on an opportunity to communicate on a more connected level.

On the phone, it’s easy to check out of a conversation. When you’re connected by audio and video, however, you’ll engage in a much more dynamic conversation, since everyone will stay focused on the screen to either connect with colleagues or watch what’s being presented.

3. Eliminate Redundant Work

Some companies use lengthy email threads and multiple phone calls to get the same message across to multiple people. Sometimes, hours or days go by waiting for calls back or responses to emails. This can slow down your company’s progress and drains your employees’ time. A video conference is a much more efficient solution for brainstorming and collaborating on initiatives that involve multiple people or departments.
