Our Advice
Critical Insight
- A room-based VC system is not the only option that can be chosen to avoid travelling; organizations must understand the needs of those workers who work outside traditional facilities to determine which VC requirements are most important.
- Implementing room-based VC systems within the context of a pervasive video communication strategy offers the greatest opportunity to reduce travel costs and improve productivity through enhanced communication, but it is critical that organizations focus on their own specific requirements.
- Upfront cost should not be the only factor in selecting a VC solution; organizations must realize that to get the full return on investment, the VC solution must enhance engagement efficiently.
Impact and Result
- Quickly develop a shortlist of vendors that offer solutions covering the entire spectrum of VC requirements.
- Be confident that the right potential partners are being considered to meet current and future video communication needs.
