HD Video Conferencing / Telepresence
One of the realities of business today is that small does not mean local. To compete, many small and medium size business are having to spend an ever increasing portion of the budget travelling to meet with clients, vendors and even sales reps across the USA and around the world.
The question is how do we get quality face time with our clients and suppliers AND keep in touch with our staff when they are spread around the country or even the globe. Jumping on a plane at the drop of a hat can be cost prohibitive for a small business.
The answer is Video Conferencing. But for most of us it was either too expensive or meant Webcams, Skype and Webinars. As you probably know already, those are not the quality interactions that build business.
Thanks to LifeSize, there is finally a high definition video conferencing solution that is available for Small and Mid size business.
If you have a minimum of $300,000 to spend you can go out and pay the price for a Telepresence Suite from Cisco/Tandberg or Polycom like ESPN did for the World Cup. But if you are a small to mid size business with a correspondingly lower budget than ESPN, you can STILL get the same or better quality video conferencing / Telepresence experience from a LifeSize HD video conferencing system with comparable features for half the price while eating up half the bandwidth.
Ask your IT staff about bandwidth usage by a video conferencing system on your network. They will tell you using less bandwidth to achieve superior quality picture and sound is better. I don’t have to tell you that getting better for less $$ is good.
You can get a true high definition video conferencing system from LifeSize for as little as $3,000, Telepresence your Sales Reps can pack in their briefcase for slightly more, or a full blown Telepresence Suite for ½ the price of any comparable system .
