Web Conferencing is becoming crucial in today's businesses
I have been using web conferencing in one way or another for the last eight years. I have to admit that it has become indispensible in several of my projects.
I currently use Talking Talking Communities web conferencing solutions at Global Eschool and at LetsGoExpo.
Webconferencing, Skype and other instant messengers are now my main avenues for communicating and training.
Wainhouse Research recently released a new study on web conferencing and its impact on small businesses.
The jist of the report is quoted here:
"Survey Highlights:
“Outbound” Web conferencing applications that involve customers and prospects are most important to SMBs.
75% of SMB respondents believe the ability to involve/reach more people and save travel costs and time are major reasons to use Web conferencing; 59% say it makes meetings more productive.
55% of SMBs (and 44% of large enterprise respondents) say that in addition to the more predictable improvements in business practices, Web conferencing enables users to solve problems they could not solve before.
69% of all respondents use Web conferencing to enable new meetings that could not be held in any other way due to cost constraints, timing and several other issues.
