The US Government has taken another ‘green’ step forward by agreeing to employ web conferencing services as an alternative to some of their in-person business meetings. In a 2010 FederTimes.com article on tele-working, the US government vowed to cut employee green house gas emission by 13% before the end of 2020. The author, Tim Kauffman, states that along with other tactics, “agencies will need to expand the use of Web-based video conferences” to curb emissions.
While it can’t be denied that web conferencing decreases the carbon footprint of your business by reducing your need to travel, web conferencing also increases efficiency and productivity – while saving you money. From the comfort and convenience of your own desk you can instantly meet with customers, colleagues, and employees around the globe. Less business travel also means you can keep your team in-house; and keeping your team in-house saves you from the expensive and troublesome time and costs associated with business travel. Moreover, the quality and effectiveness of modern web conferencing technology rivals that of face-to-face meetings.
Today, web conferencing features often include the ability to record your meeting for future playback, operator video conferenceassistance, security passcodes, participant mute/un-mute, have customized greetings, sub-conferences, conduct polls, Q&A sessions, roll call, and post conference reporting.
