With Alexa for Business, employees can use Alexa as their intelligent assistant to be more productive in meeting rooms, at their desks, and even with the Alexa devices they already have at home.<br /><br />\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Benefits</span>\r\nSIMPLIFIED MEETING ROOMS<br />Alexa for Business lets your employees reserve meeting rooms and start conference calls using voice. With Alexa, there is no need to use remote controls, look up conference call information, and manually dial in to meetings. Employees can just say “Alexa, is this room free?” to find if the meeting room is available, or say, “Alexa, start my meeting” to start their meeting.\r\nMORE PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYEES<br />Alexa lets your employees be more productive throughout their day. Alexa can manage schedules, keep track of to-do list, and set reminders. Alexa can schedule 1:1 meetings between colleagues, move and cancel meetings, and dial into conference calls, so employees stay focused on important tasks whether at home, at work, or on the go.\r\nVOICE ENABLED APPLICATIONS<br />Voice offers a more intuitive way to access business applications. With Alexa for Business, IT teams can build custom skills that add a voice interface to applications such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, or any of your custom apps and services. IT teams can provide rich, personalized voice experiences that redefine the way employees get work done. Custom skills can be selectively enabled in conference rooms or for employees to use on their personal devices. \r\nINTUITIVE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL<br />Alexa for Business helps administrators provision and manage Alexa devices across the organization from a centralized console. With Alexa for Business, IT admins can easily provision multiple Alexa devices at the same time, and add them to the Alexa for Business account. Admins can also monitor device usage and device status from the Alexa for Business console and can setup CloudWatch alarms to be notified when devices are unplugged.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">How it Works</span>\r\nAlexa for Business utilizes information about the devices, user accounts, and skills in your organization. When someone in your organization asks Alexa a question, Alexa uses this information to respond or perform the requested action. For example, when a user says “Alexa, start the meeting” in a conference room, Alexa uses the location of the device, the calendar information for the room, and the type of video conferencing equipment available, all stored in your Alexa for Business account, to start the meeting.","shortDescription":"Amazon Alexa for Business is a service that enables organizations and employees to use Alexa to get more work done.","type":null,"isRoiCalculatorAvaliable":false,"isConfiguratorAvaliable":false,"bonus":100,"usingCount":0,"sellingCount":0,"discontinued":0,"rebateForPoc":0,"rebate":0,"seo":{"title":"Amazon Alexa for Business","keywords":"Alexa, your, Business, devices, skills, help, conference, their","description":"Alexa for Business is a service that enables organizations and employees to use Alexa to get more work done.

Understanding what does a collaboration software do will help you justify its implementation in your organization and bolster its adoption with your employees. The successful execution of good collaboration software will afford you many advantages. Why use collaboration software? Here are four good reasons why.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Save time</span> – Time is gold, and in a business that is tantamount to money. The more you save time, the more you save on unwanted expenses, and the better it is for your organization. Collaboration among employees makes possible the quicker completion of end goals that wouldn’t otherwise be achievable in other ways. Embracing collaboration methods cuts disparate, uncoordinated work on a particular project from different contributing members and saves not only time but also resources and efforts. If you are looking to cut costs on projects, collaboration software can help in that respect.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Enhance project management</span> – Keeping a handle on a project, a team and its members and their progress are never easy to work. Coordination and communication are of paramount importance if you want a project completed. Collaboration is one of the most optimal means to guarantee that you get the most out of your team. It opens lines of communication and makes sure everything is on track in order to avoid mistakes and confusion that can delay projects.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Strengthen team relationships</span> – One sure-fire way to build effective working relationships among employees is to have them work together to complete tasks and projects. Collaboration programs are designed to do that, making it easy for teams to work almost like a concerted unit with a singular purpose. This makes teams comfortable and confident in working with one another when it comes to completing common objectives.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Improve organization</span> – The process of keeping things and tasks in order has always been a problem for businesses. It is typical to lose track of what has been done and what needs to be done in project workflows simply because everything is a mess. Collaborative programs assist in maintaining order and managing the stages in workflows through open communication and coordination among concerned individuals and team.</li></ul>","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Collaborative_Applications.png"},{"id":275,"title":"Conferencing Applications","alias":"conferencing-applications","description":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Conferencing applications</span> may be used as an umbrella term for various types of online collaborative services including web seminars (&quot;webinars&quot;), webcasts, and peer-level web meetings.\r\nServices may allow real-time point-to-point communications as well as multicast communications from one sender to many receivers. It offers data streams of text-based messages, voice and video chat to be shared simultaneously, across geographically dispersed locations. Conference application includes meetings, training events, lectures, or presentations from a web-connected computer to other web-connected computers. \r\n<p class=\"align-center\">Typical features of a web conference include:</p>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Slideshow presentations </span>- where images are presented to the audience and markup tools and a remote mouse pointer are used to engage the audience while the presenter discusses slide content.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Live or streaming video</span> - where full motion webcam, digital video camera or multi-media files are pushed to the audience.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">VoIP</span> (conference call applications) - real time audio communication through the computer via use of headphones and speakers.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Web tours</span> - where URLs, data from forms, cookies, scripts and session data can be pushed to other participants enabling them to be pushed through web-based logons, clicks, etc. This type of feature works well when demonstrating websites where users themselves can also participate.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Meeting Recording</span> - where presentation activity is recorded on the client side or server side for later viewing and/or distribution.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Whiteboard with annotation</span> - allowing the presenter and/or attendees to highlight or mark items on the slide presentation. Or, simply make notes on a blank whiteboard.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Text chat</span> - For live question and answer sessions, limited to the people connected to the meeting. Text chat may be public (echoed to all participants) or private (between 2 participants).</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Polls and surveys</span> - allows the presenter to conduct questions with multiple choice answers directed to the audience.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Screen sharing</span>/desktop sharing/application sharing where participants can view anything the presenter currently has shown on their screen. </li></ul>\r\nThere are different types of web conferencing:\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Webinars.</span> In webinars, on one hand the presenters can share information with the participants and on the other the participants can respond or ask questions regarding that information. Though, this web conference option shows possibility of interaction between the presenter and the audience but to a limited extent.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Webcast.</span> It is web conference's another type that is similar to a broadcast made on TV but both of them are different from each other on the ground that this broadcast can be done by using web instead of a TV. Though webcast can be broadcasted to large number of people as a time still there are least or no possibilities of interaction between the presenter and the participants in this format of web conferencing.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Web Meeting</span><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">and Event App for conferences.</span> The virtual meetings on the internet fall in this category of web conferencing. It makes the participants in the meeting interactive to each other. The flow of information can be both way, forward and backward i.e. from the host to the audience as well as from the audience to the host. \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Online Collaboration.</span> Online collaboration format of web conferencing allows you to view shared files, documents and papers live along with making changes in them to modify their style instantly on the internet. The participants of a web based online collaboration can do much more than seeing and speaking to each other on internet. \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Online Presentations.&nbsp; </span>Web conferencing can also be used for presenting presentations online. The online presentations can be presented online with the help of web based chats, streaming videos or audios and slide shows. The participants have to log in to the web conference to see these presentations. They can also interact with the presenter of the presentation through web based chat or through mobile application conference.\r\n\r\n","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\"> <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are the benefits of online conferencing?</span></h1>\r\nInternet conference has its own nuances and features in contrast to the traditional conference. And most importantly, it also has a number of obvious and very significant advantages, namely:\r\n<ul><li>wide audience coverage - users of various categories who are remote control of a computer via the Internet by potential consumers of goods and services;</li><li>independence from geographical location - users from different cities and even countries can participate in Internet conferences, which allows to significantly expand the boundaries of business in the world wide web;</li><li>accessibility - you can take part in online meetings, sitting at a computer at home or at work, the main thing is the presence of the computer itself and Internet access;</li><li>the opportunity to significantly save on the financial costs of holding a conference, which is relevant at all times;</li><li>stakeholder participation in the topic that the Internet conference offers for consideration, which allows to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness;</li><li>thanks to preliminary preparations for the Internet conference, you can develop the most successful mechanism for selling information to participants in order to focus on the most important aspects of a product or service;</li></ul>\r\nformation of positive public opinion among participants regarding the services of remote control of a computer or products, which is achieved using special methods.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">The Benefits of Conference Event Apps</h1>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">A More Personalized Experience</span></p>\r\nConference planning app can solve the common problems that many attendees run into at large events. According to pewresearch.org another important fact to consider is that “More than half of smartphone owners say they get news alerts on their phones” which is largely due to notifications from apps downloaded on their smart device, so why wouldn’t you include apps at your events? Planning and event apps give the attendee a personalized experience by allowing the attendee to take notes and mark which sessions and exhibits they want to see.\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Track Users</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Event apps give you the ability to track the users to see what they like and dislike so you can continually improve your event products and cater to the needs of your attendees. Most event apps track attendees by GPS, badges, or the most frequently used low-energy Bluetooth device.&nbsp; </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Provides Instant Feedback</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Best event apps for conferences provide instant analytic feedback. Most conference event apps track which booths the attendees favored, how long they listened to the audio tours at each exhibit, and overall what topics or things interest them the most.&nbsp; You can also set up polling to get the specific feedback you want from your attendees. </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Push Notifications</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Including event apps at your next conference gives you the ability to send push notifications if the schedule changes or in case of an emergency. With push notifications can set geo alerts to alert your attendees of important reminders based on their location. You can also implement AR ability so that attendees can try out new products. Your contributors can publish audio tours to impress the attendees by filling them with information at each exhibit and e-brochures that the attendee can view before, during, and after the event. </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Boost Revenue</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Conference event apps make navigating the event easier on multiple levels. Event apps are especially beneficial for allowing your attendees to purchase items easily right from their smart device and for you to showcase unique event items right at their fingertips.</p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Monetize Sponsors</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">It’s important to take time to recognize the sponsors that helped you put on the event. You can do this by adding a section of the custom conference app that is dedicated to your sponsors. By taking time to thank them, you are giving your sponsors a unique platform and driving leads with just a click of a button. Make sure you take time to talk to your app developer on how to create ads that highlight your sponsors and allows your sponsors to track data and leads from the event.</p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Instantly Connected</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Paper brochures, maps, and schedules are difficult to keep track of and hard to map out. I remember losing brochures and having to sit down and figure out the event layout, circling which booths I wanted to see. Conference event apps give your attendees access to important information instantly. </p>","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Conferencing_Applications.png"},{"id":30,"title":"Video Conferencing","alias":"video-conferencing","description":"Video conferencing is a technology that allows users in different locations to hold face-to-face meetings without having to move to a single location together. This technology is particularly convenient for business users in different cities or even different countries because it saves time, expense, and hassle associated with business travel. Uses for video conferencing include holding routine meetings, negotiating business deals, and interviewing job candidates.\r\nVideo conferencing's main advantage over teleconferencing is that users can see each other, which allows them to develop stronger relationships. When a video conference is held for informal purposes, it is called a video call or video chat.\r\nThere are a variety of ways video conferencing can be conducted. Individuals may use web cameras connected to our built into laptop, tablet, or desktop computers. Smartphones equipped with cameras may also be used to connect for video conferences. In such instances, a software-based platform typically is used to transmit communication over Internet protocols.\r\nSome businesses use dedicated video conferencing rooms that have been equipped with high-grade cameras and screens to ensure the conversation is clear and with limited technical faults. Third-party providers often install and assemble the hardware needed to conduct the video conference.\r\nCompanies with multiple offices might establish direct video communications between their locations in order to allow their teams to work more collaboratively.\r\nVideo conferencing can also be used as a medium for conducting training, with the instructor teaching a remote class from almost anywhere. This can be done in a corporate context, especially for getting workers the knowledge they need to better perform their jobs. The academic world can also make use of video conferencing to connect a traditional classroom setting with students who have based a considerable distance from the school.\r\nA video conference may also be used to conduct regular meetings with a company staff or to confer with shareholders about the latest activities at the business. It may be used to announce significant changes at a company, such as introducing a new CEO or to present information in an interactive way that allows all participants to engage in discussion about what they see on screen.\r\nHotels and conference centers sometimes make video conferencing services available to guests who require such services. This may be offered in suites or conference rooms that have been equipped for this purpose.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is video conferencing?</span>\r\nVideo conferencing is two-way interactive communication delivered using telephone or Internet technologies that allows people at a different location to come together for a meeting. The video conference can be as simple as a conversation between two people in private offices (point-to-point) or involve several sites (multi-point) with more than one person in large rooms at different sites.\r\nA basic video conference setup has a camera and a microphone. Video from the camera and audio from the microphone is converted into a digital format and transmitted to a receiving location using a coding and decoding device, often referred to as a &quot;codec&quot;.\r\nAt that receiving location is another codec device that decodes the receiving digital stream into a form that can be seen and heard on monitors or televisions. At the same time, video and audio from cameras and microphones at the received location is sent back to the original location.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are the benefits of video conferencing?</span>\r\nVideo conferencing saves travel time and money. Participants can see and hear all other participants and communicate both verbally and visually, creating a face-to-face experience. PowerPoint and other on-screen graphics, as well as other cameras, are also available presentation options. People's downtime is reduced and productivity gains are achieved by removing the logistics of flight preparations, airport delays, hotel stays, and all the other inconveniences of business travel. In distance education, video conferencing provides quality access to students who could not travel to or could afford to relocate to a traditional campus. Video conferences can also be recorded and made available in a variety of ways, e.g., DVDs, streaming video. Besides distance education, other applications include meetings, dissertation and thesis defenses, telemedical procedures, and online conferences.\r\nPeople use video conferencing when:\r\n<ul><li>a live conversation is needed;</li><li>visual information is an important component of the conversation;</li><li>the parties of the conversation can't physically come to the same location;</li><li>the expense or time of travel is a consideration.</li></ul>\r\nExamples of how video conferencing can benefit people around campus:\r\n<ul><li>Guest lecturer invited into a class from another institution.</li><li>The researcher collaborates with colleagues at other institutions on a regular basis.</li><li>Thesis defense at another institution.</li><li>Administrators from different parts of campus need to collaborate on administrator issues such as a campus strategic plan.</li><li>Researcher needs to meet with a review committee about a grant.</li><li>Student interviews with an employer in another city.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Please explain the etiquette for video conferencing</span>\r\n<ul><li>Allow a few minutes for setting up and shutting down the video conference.</li><li>Stick to time limits.</li><li>Remember to mute your microphone when you are not talking.</li><li>Consider using a location banner.</li><li>Take turns speaking and allow time for audio delay.</li><li>Don't multi-task on camera.</li><li>Be aware of possible audio distractions if your microphone is not muted - coughing, paper shuffling, air conditioning units, laptop and projector fans, phone ringing, etc.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What are some suggestions for a successful video conference?</span>\r\nProvide an overview for new users so they can learn the basics of videoconferencing:\r\n<ul><li>Share rules of etiquette.</li><li>Get experience using the remote control (room based systems) or using the desktop client software.</li><li>Emphasize the importance of muting the microphone when you are not speaking.</li><li>Test with each location prior to the video conference.

Personal as well as group calendars are integral features in most collaborative platforms and mobile collaboration apps to help you and your team members stay attuned, involved and present at all times, wherever they may be.</li></ul>\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">What are the benefits of collaboration software? </h1>\r\nThere are a number of benefits of collaboration software that can result in more efficient and effective completion of tasks and goals. Understanding what does a collaboration software do will help you justify its implementation in your organization and bolster its adoption with your employees. The successful execution of good collaboration software will afford you many advantages. Why use collaboration software? Here are four good reasons why.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Save time</span> – Time is gold, and in a business that is tantamount to money. The more you save time, the more you save on unwanted expenses, and the better it is for your organization. Collaboration among employees makes possible the quicker completion of end goals that wouldn’t otherwise be achievable in other ways. Embracing collaboration methods cuts disparate, uncoordinated work on a particular project from different contributing members and saves not only time but also resources and efforts. If you are looking to cut costs on projects, collaboration software can help in that respect.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Enhance project management</span> – Keeping a handle on a project, a team and its members and their progress are never easy to work. Coordination and communication are of paramount importance if you want a project completed. Collaboration is one of the most optimal means to guarantee that you get the most out of your team. It opens lines of communication and makes sure everything is on track in order to avoid mistakes and confusion that can delay projects.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Strengthen team relationships</span> – One sure-fire way to build effective working relationships among employees is to have them work together to complete tasks and projects. Collaboration programs are designed to do that, making it easy for teams to work almost like a concerted unit with a singular purpose. This makes teams comfortable and confident in working with one another when it comes to completing common objectives.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Improve organization</span> – The process of keeping things and tasks in order has always been a problem for businesses. It is typical to lose track of what has been done and what needs to be done in project workflows simply because everything is a mess. Collaborative programs assist in maintaining order and managing the stages in workflows through open communication and coordination among concerned individuals and team.</li></ul>","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Collaborative_Applications.png"},{"id":275,"title":"Conferencing Applications","alias":"conferencing-applications","description":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Conferencing applications</span> may be used as an umbrella term for various types of online collaborative services including web seminars (&quot;webinars&quot;), webcasts, and peer-level web meetings.\r\nServices may allow real-time point-to-point communications as well as multicast communications from one sender to many receivers. It offers data streams of text-based messages, voice and video chat to be shared simultaneously, across geographically dispersed locations. Conference application includes meetings, training events, lectures, or presentations from a web-connected computer to other web-connected computers. \r\n<p class=\"align-center\">Typical features of a web conference include:</p>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Slideshow presentations </span>- where images are presented to the audience and markup tools and a remote mouse pointer are used to engage the audience while the presenter discusses slide content.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Live or streaming video</span> - where full motion webcam, digital video camera or multi-media files are pushed to the audience.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">VoIP</span> (conference call applications) - real time audio communication through the computer via use of headphones and speakers.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Web tours</span> - where URLs, data from forms, cookies, scripts and session data can be pushed to other participants enabling them to be pushed through web-based logons, clicks, etc. This type of feature works well when demonstrating websites where users themselves can also participate.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Meeting Recording</span> - where presentation activity is recorded on the client side or server side for later viewing and/or distribution.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Whiteboard with annotation</span> - allowing the presenter and/or attendees to highlight or mark items on the slide presentation. Or, simply make notes on a blank whiteboard.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Text chat</span> - For live question and answer sessions, limited to the people connected to the meeting. Text chat may be public (echoed to all participants) or private (between 2 participants).</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Polls and surveys</span> - allows the presenter to conduct questions with multiple choice answers directed to the audience.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Screen sharing</span>/desktop sharing/application sharing where participants can view anything the presenter currently has shown on their screen. </li></ul>\r\nThere are different types of web conferencing:\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Webinars.</span> In webinars, on one hand the presenters can share information with the participants and on the other the participants can respond or ask questions regarding that information. Though, this web conference option shows possibility of interaction between the presenter and the audience but to a limited extent.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Webcast.</span> It is web conference's another type that is similar to a broadcast made on TV but both of them are different from each other on the ground that this broadcast can be done by using web instead of a TV. Though webcast can be broadcasted to large number of people as a time still there are least or no possibilities of interaction between the presenter and the participants in this format of web conferencing.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Web Meeting</span><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">and Event App for conferences.</span> The virtual meetings on the internet fall in this category of web conferencing. It makes the participants in the meeting interactive to each other. The flow of information can be both way, forward and backward i.e. from the host to the audience as well as from the audience to the host. \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Online Collaboration.</span> Online collaboration format of web conferencing allows you to view shared files, documents and papers live along with making changes in them to modify their style instantly on the internet. The participants of a web based online collaboration can do much more than seeing and speaking to each other on internet. \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Online Presentations.&nbsp; </span>Web conferencing can also be used for presenting presentations online. The online presentations can be presented online with the help of web based chats, streaming videos or audios and slide shows. The participants have to log in to the web conference to see these presentations. They can also interact with the presenter of the presentation through web based chat or through mobile application conference.\r\n\r\n","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\"> <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are the benefits of online conferencing?</span></h1>\r\nInternet conference has its own nuances and features in contrast to the traditional conference. And most importantly, it also has a number of obvious and very significant advantages, namely:\r\n<ul><li>wide audience coverage - users of various categories who are remote control of a computer via the Internet by potential consumers of goods and services;</li><li>independence from geographical location - users from different cities and even countries can participate in Internet conferences, which allows to significantly expand the boundaries of business in the world wide web;</li><li>accessibility - you can take part in online meetings, sitting at a computer at home or at work, the main thing is the presence of the computer itself and Internet access;</li><li>the opportunity to significantly save on the financial costs of holding a conference, which is relevant at all times;</li><li>stakeholder participation in the topic that the Internet conference offers for consideration, which allows to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness;</li><li>thanks to preliminary preparations for the Internet conference, you can develop the most successful mechanism for selling information to participants in order to focus on the most important aspects of a product or service;</li></ul>\r\nformation of positive public opinion among participants regarding the services of remote control of a computer or products, which is achieved using special methods.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">The Benefits of Conference Event Apps</h1>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">A More Personalized Experience</span></p>\r\nConference planning app can solve the common problems that many attendees run into at large events. According to pewresearch.org another important fact to consider is that “More than half of smartphone owners say they get news alerts on their phones” which is largely due to notifications from apps downloaded on their smart device, so why wouldn’t you include apps at your events? Planning and event apps give the attendee a personalized experience by allowing the attendee to take notes and mark which sessions and exhibits they want to see.\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Track Users</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Event apps give you the ability to track the users to see what they like and dislike so you can continually improve your event products and cater to the needs of your attendees. Most event apps track attendees by GPS, badges, or the most frequently used low-energy Bluetooth device.&nbsp; </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Provides Instant Feedback</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Best event apps for conferences provide instant analytic feedback. Most conference event apps track which booths the attendees favored, how long they listened to the audio tours at each exhibit, and overall what topics or things interest them the most.&nbsp; You can also set up polling to get the specific feedback you want from your attendees. </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Push Notifications</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Including event apps at your next conference gives you the ability to send push notifications if the schedule changes or in case of an emergency. With push notifications can set geo alerts to alert your attendees of important reminders based on their location. You can also implement AR ability so that attendees can try out new products. Your contributors can publish audio tours to impress the attendees by filling them with information at each exhibit and e-brochures that the attendee can view before, during, and after the event. </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Boost Revenue</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Conference event apps make navigating the event easier on multiple levels. Event apps are especially beneficial for allowing your attendees to purchase items easily right from their smart device and for you to showcase unique event items right at their fingertips.</p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Monetize Sponsors</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">It’s important to take time to recognize the sponsors that helped you put on the event. You can do this by adding a section of the custom conference app that is dedicated to your sponsors. By taking time to thank them, you are giving your sponsors a unique platform and driving leads with just a click of a button. Make sure you take time to talk to your app developer on how to create ads that highlight your sponsors and allows your sponsors to track data and leads from the event.</p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Instantly Connected</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Paper brochures, maps, and schedules are difficult to keep track of and hard to map out. I remember losing brochures and having to sit down and figure out the event layout, circling which booths I wanted to see. Conference event apps give your attendees access to important information instantly. </p>","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Conferencing_Applications.png"},{"id":30,"title":"Video Conferencing","alias":"video-conferencing","description":"Video conferencing is a technology that allows users in different locations to hold face-to-face meetings without having to move to a single location together. This technology is particularly convenient for business users in different cities or even different countries because it saves time, expense, and hassle associated with business travel. Uses for video conferencing include holding routine meetings, negotiating business deals, and interviewing job candidates.\r\nVideo conferencing's main advantage over teleconferencing is that users can see each other, which allows them to develop stronger relationships. When a video conference is held for informal purposes, it is called a video call or video chat.\r\nThere are a variety of ways video conferencing can be conducted. Individuals may use web cameras connected to our built into laptop, tablet, or desktop computers. Smartphones equipped with cameras may also be used to connect for video conferences. In such instances, a software-based platform typically is used to transmit communication over Internet protocols.\r\nSome businesses use dedicated video conferencing rooms that have been equipped with high-grade cameras and screens to ensure the conversation is clear and with limited technical faults. Third-party providers often install and assemble the hardware needed to conduct the video conference.\r\nCompanies with multiple offices might establish direct video communications between their locations in order to allow their teams to work more collaboratively.\r\nVideo conferencing can also be used as a medium for conducting training, with the instructor teaching a remote class from almost anywhere. This can be done in a corporate context, especially for getting workers the knowledge they need to better perform their jobs. The academic world can also make use of video conferencing to connect a traditional classroom setting with students who have based a considerable distance from the school.\r\nA video conference may also be used to conduct regular meetings with a company staff or to confer with shareholders about the latest activities at the business. It may be used to announce significant changes at a company, such as introducing a new CEO or to present information in an interactive way that allows all participants to engage in discussion about what they see on screen.\r\nHotels and conference centers sometimes make video conferencing services available to guests who require such services. This may be offered in suites or conference rooms that have been equipped for this purpose.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is video conferencing?</span>\r\nVideo conferencing is two-way interactive communication delivered using telephone or Internet technologies that allows people at a different location to come together for a meeting. The video conference can be as simple as a conversation between two people in private offices (point-to-point) or involve several sites (multi-point) with more than one person in large rooms at different sites.\r\nA basic video conference setup has a camera and a microphone. Video from the camera and audio from the microphone is converted into a digital format and transmitted to a receiving location using a coding and decoding device, often referred to as a &quot;codec&quot;.\r\nAt that receiving location is another codec device that decodes the receiving digital stream into a form that can be seen and heard on monitors or televisions. At the same time, video and audio from cameras and microphones at the received location is sent back to the original location.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are the benefits of video conferencing?</span>\r\nVideo conferencing saves travel time and money. Participants can see and hear all other participants and communicate both verbally and visually, creating a face-to-face experience. PowerPoint and other on-screen graphics, as well as other cameras, are also available presentation options. People's downtime is reduced and productivity gains are achieved by removing the logistics of flight preparations, airport delays, hotel stays, and all the other inconveniences of business travel. In distance education, video conferencing provides quality access to students who could not travel to or could afford to relocate to a traditional campus. Video conferences can also be recorded and made available in a variety of ways, e.g., DVDs, streaming video. Besides distance education, other applications include meetings, dissertation and thesis defenses, telemedical procedures, and online conferences.\r\nPeople use video conferencing when:\r\n<ul><li>a live conversation is needed;</li><li>visual information is an important component of the conversation;</li><li>the parties of the conversation can't physically come to the same location;</li><li>the expense or time of travel is a consideration.</li></ul>\r\nExamples of how video conferencing can benefit people around campus:\r\n<ul><li>Guest lecturer invited into a class from another institution.</li><li>The researcher collaborates with colleagues at other institutions on a regular basis.</li><li>Thesis defense at another institution.</li><li>Administrators from different parts of campus need to collaborate on administrator issues such as a campus strategic plan.</li><li>Researcher needs to meet with a review committee about a grant.</li><li>Student interviews with an employer in another city.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Please explain the etiquette for video conferencing</span>\r\n<ul><li>Allow a few minutes for setting up and shutting down the video conference.</li><li>Stick to time limits.</li><li>Remember to mute your microphone when you are not talking.</li><li>Consider using a location banner.</li><li>Take turns speaking and allow time for audio delay.</li><li>Don't multi-task on camera.</li><li>Be aware of possible audio distractions if your microphone is not muted - coughing, paper shuffling, air conditioning units, laptop and projector fans, phone ringing, etc.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What are some suggestions for a successful video conference?</span>\r\nProvide an overview for new users so they can learn the basics of videoconferencing:\r\n<ul><li>Share rules of etiquette.</li><li>Get experience using the remote control (room based systems) or using the desktop client software.</li><li>Emphasize the importance of muting the microphone when you are not speaking.</li><li>Test with each location prior to the video conference.

With Alexa for Business, employees can use Alexa as their intelligent assistant to be more productive in meeting rooms, at their desks, and even with the Alexa devices they already have at home.<br /><br />\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Benefits</span>\r\nSIMPLIFIED MEETING ROOMS<br />Alexa for Business lets your employees reserve meeting rooms and start conference calls using voice. With Alexa, there is no need to use remote controls, look up conference call information, and manually dial in to meetings. Employees can just say “Alexa, is this room free?” to find if the meeting room is available, or say, “Alexa, start my meeting” to start their meeting.\r\nMORE PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYEES<br />Alexa lets your employees be more productive throughout their day. Alexa can manage schedules, keep track of to-do list, and set reminders. Alexa can schedule 1:1 meetings between colleagues, move and cancel meetings, and dial into conference calls, so employees stay focused on important tasks whether at home, at work, or on the go.\r\nVOICE ENABLED APPLICATIONS<br />Voice offers a more intuitive way to access business applications. With Alexa for Business, IT teams can build custom skills that add a voice interface to applications such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, or any of your custom apps and services. IT teams can provide rich, personalized voice experiences that redefine the way employees get work done. Custom skills can be selectively enabled in conference rooms or for employees to use on their personal devices. \r\nINTUITIVE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL<br />Alexa for Business helps administrators provision and manage Alexa devices across the organization from a centralized console. With Alexa for Business, IT admins can easily provision multiple Alexa devices at the same time, and add them to the Alexa for Business account. Admins can also monitor device usage and device status from the Alexa for Business console and can setup CloudWatch alarms to be notified when devices are unplugged.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">How it Works</span>\r\nAlexa for Business utilizes information about the devices, user accounts, and skills in your organization. When someone in your organization asks Alexa a question, Alexa uses this information to respond or perform the requested action. For example, when a user says “Alexa, start the meeting” in a conference room, Alexa uses the location of the device, the calendar information for the room, and the type of video conferencing equipment available, all stored in your Alexa for Business account, to start the meeting.","shortDescription":"Amazon Alexa for Business is a service that enables organizations and employees to use Alexa to get more work done.","type":null,"isRoiCalculatorAvaliable":false,"isConfiguratorAvaliable":false,"bonus":100,"usingCount":0,"sellingCount":0,"discontinued":0,"rebateForPoc":0,"rebate":0,"seo":{"title":"Amazon Alexa for Business","keywords":"Alexa, your, Business, devices, skills, help, conference, their","description":"Alexa for Business is a service that enables organizations and employees to use Alexa to get more work done.

One of the earliest definitions of collaborative software is &quot;intentional group processes plus software to support them&quot;.\r\nIn terms of the level of interaction it allows, collaborative software may be divided into: real-time collaborative editing (RTCE) platforms that allow multiple users to engage in live, simultaneous and reversible editing of a single file, like document collaboration app, and version control (also known as revision control and source control) platforms, which allow separate users to make parallel edits to a file, while preserving every saved edit by every user as multiple files (that are variants of the original file). The use of collaborative software in the work space creates a collaborative working environment (CWE). \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">There are three main categories</span> of collaboration software based on their functional capabilities. Knowing how does collaboration software work can be gleaned from the tools employed.<br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Communication.</span> Helps in the exchange of communication between groups. The most common communication tools that are used are systems and applications for email hosting, file sharing, project management and a website or online collaboration applications platform that can be readily accessed.

And most importantly, it also has a number of obvious and very significant advantages, namely:\r\n<ul><li>wide audience coverage - users of various categories who are remote control of a computer via the Internet by potential consumers of goods and services;</li><li>independence from geographical location - users from different cities and even countries can participate in Internet conferences, which allows to significantly expand the boundaries of business in the world wide web;</li><li>accessibility - you can take part in online meetings, sitting at a computer at home or at work, the main thing is the presence of the computer itself and Internet access;</li><li>the opportunity to significantly save on the financial costs of holding a conference, which is relevant at all times;</li><li>stakeholder participation in the topic that the Internet conference offers for consideration, which allows to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness;</li><li>thanks to preliminary preparations for the Internet conference, you can develop the most successful mechanism for selling information to participants in order to focus on the most important aspects of a product or service;</li></ul>\r\nformation of positive public opinion among participants regarding the services of remote control of a computer or products, which is achieved using special methods.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">The Benefits of Conference Event Apps</h1>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">A More Personalized Experience</span></p>\r\nConference planning app can solve the common problems that many attendees run into at large events. According to pewresearch.org another important fact to consider is that “More than half of smartphone owners say they get news alerts on their phones” which is largely due to notifications from apps downloaded on their smart device, so why wouldn’t you include apps at your events? Planning and event apps give the attendee a personalized experience by allowing the attendee to take notes and mark which sessions and exhibits they want to see.\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Track Users</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Event apps give you the ability to track the users to see what they like and dislike so you can continually improve your event products and cater to the needs of your attendees. Most event apps track attendees by GPS, badges, or the most frequently used low-energy Bluetooth device.&nbsp; </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Provides Instant Feedback</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Best event apps for conferences provide instant analytic feedback. Most conference event apps track which booths the attendees favored, how long they listened to the audio tours at each exhibit, and overall what topics or things interest them the most.&nbsp; You can also set up polling to get the specific feedback you want from your attendees. </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Push Notifications</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Including event apps at your next conference gives you the ability to send push notifications if the schedule changes or in case of an emergency. With push notifications can set geo alerts to alert your attendees of important reminders based on their location. You can also implement AR ability so that attendees can try out new products. Your contributors can publish audio tours to impress the attendees by filling them with information at each exhibit and e-brochures that the attendee can view before, during, and after the event. </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Boost Revenue</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Conference event apps make navigating the event easier on multiple levels. Event apps are especially beneficial for allowing your attendees to purchase items easily right from their smart device and for you to showcase unique event items right at their fingertips.</p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Monetize Sponsors</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">It’s important to take time to recognize the sponsors that helped you put on the event. You can do this by adding a section of the custom conference app that is dedicated to your sponsors. By taking time to thank them, you are giving your sponsors a unique platform and driving leads with just a click of a button. Make sure you take time to talk to your app developer on how to create ads that highlight your sponsors and allows your sponsors to track data and leads from the event.</p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Instantly Connected</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Paper brochures, maps, and schedules are difficult to keep track of and hard to map out. I remember losing brochures and having to sit down and figure out the event layout, circling which booths I wanted to see. Conference event apps give your attendees access to important information instantly. </p>","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Conferencing_Applications.png"},{"id":30,"title":"Video Conferencing","alias":"video-conferencing","description":"Video conferencing is a technology that allows users in different locations to hold face-to-face meetings without having to move to a single location together. This technology is particularly convenient for business users in different cities or even different countries because it saves time, expense, and hassle associated with business travel. Uses for video conferencing include holding routine meetings, negotiating business deals, and interviewing job candidates.\r\nVideo conferencing's main advantage over teleconferencing is that users can see each other, which allows them to develop stronger relationships. When a video conference is held for informal purposes, it is called a video call or video chat.\r\nThere are a variety of ways video conferencing can be conducted. Individuals may use web cameras connected to our built into laptop, tablet, or desktop computers. Smartphones equipped with cameras may also be used to connect for video conferences. In such instances, a software-based platform typically is used to transmit communication over Internet protocols.\r\nSome businesses use dedicated video conferencing rooms that have been equipped with high-grade cameras and screens to ensure the conversation is clear and with limited technical faults. Third-party providers often install and assemble the hardware needed to conduct the video conference.\r\nCompanies with multiple offices might establish direct video communications between their locations in order to allow their teams to work more collaboratively.\r\nVideo conferencing can also be used as a medium for conducting training, with the instructor teaching a remote class from almost anywhere. This can be done in a corporate context, especially for getting workers the knowledge they need to better perform their jobs. The academic world can also make use of video conferencing to connect a traditional classroom setting with students who have based a considerable distance from the school.\r\nA video conference may also be used to conduct regular meetings with a company staff or to confer with shareholders about the latest activities at the business. It may be used to announce significant changes at a company, such as introducing a new CEO or to present information in an interactive way that allows all participants to engage in discussion about what they see on screen.\r\nHotels and conference centers sometimes make video conferencing services available to guests who require such services. This may be offered in suites or conference rooms that have been equipped for this purpose.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is video conferencing?</span>\r\nVideo conferencing is two-way interactive communication delivered using telephone or Internet technologies that allows people at a different location to come together for a meeting. The video conference can be as simple as a conversation between two people in private offices (point-to-point) or involve several sites (multi-point) with more than one person in large rooms at different sites.\r\nA basic video conference setup has a camera and a microphone. Video from the camera and audio from the microphone is converted into a digital format and transmitted to a receiving location using a coding and decoding device, often referred to as a &quot;codec&quot;.\r\nAt that receiving location is another codec device that decodes the receiving digital stream into a form that can be seen and heard on monitors or televisions. At the same time, video and audio from cameras and microphones at the received location is sent back to the original location.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are the benefits of video conferencing?</span>\r\nVideo conferencing saves travel time and money. Participants can see and hear all other participants and communicate both verbally and visually, creating a face-to-face experience. PowerPoint and other on-screen graphics, as well as other cameras, are also available presentation options. People's downtime is reduced and productivity gains are achieved by removing the logistics of flight preparations, airport delays, hotel stays, and all the other inconveniences of business travel. In distance education, video conferencing provides quality access to students who could not travel to or could afford to relocate to a traditional campus. Video conferences can also be recorded and made available in a variety of ways, e.g., DVDs, streaming video. Besides distance education, other applications include meetings, dissertation and thesis defenses, telemedical procedures, and online conferences.\r\nPeople use video conferencing when:\r\n<ul><li>a live conversation is needed;</li><li>visual information is an important component of the conversation;</li><li>the parties of the conversation can't physically come to the same location;</li><li>the expense or time of travel is a consideration.</li></ul>\r\nExamples of how video conferencing can benefit people around campus:\r\n<ul><li>Guest lecturer invited into a class from another institution.</li><li>The researcher collaborates with colleagues at other institutions on a regular basis.</li><li>Thesis defense at another institution.</li><li>Administrators from different parts of campus need to collaborate on administrator issues such as a campus strategic plan.</li><li>Researcher needs to meet with a review committee about a grant.</li><li>Student interviews with an employer in another city.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Please explain the etiquette for video conferencing</span>\r\n<ul><li>Allow a few minutes for setting up and shutting down the video conference.</li><li>Stick to time limits.</li><li>Remember to mute your microphone when you are not talking.</li><li>Consider using a location banner.</li><li>Take turns speaking and allow time for audio delay.</li><li>Don't multi-task on camera.</li><li>Be aware of possible audio distractions if your microphone is not muted - coughing, paper shuffling, air conditioning units, laptop and projector fans, phone ringing, etc.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What are some suggestions for a successful video conference?</span>\r\nProvide an overview for new users so they can learn the basics of videoconferencing:\r\n<ul><li>Share rules of etiquette.</li><li>Get experience using the remote control (room based systems) or using the desktop client software.</li><li>Emphasize the importance of muting the microphone when you are not speaking.</li><li>Test with each location prior to the video conference.

According to pewresearch.org another important fact to consider is that “More than half of smartphone owners say they get news alerts on their phones” which is largely due to notifications from apps downloaded on their smart device, so why wouldn’t you include apps at your events? Planning and event apps give the attendee a personalized experience by allowing the attendee to take notes and mark which sessions and exhibits they want to see.\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Track Users</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Event apps give you the ability to track the users to see what they like and dislike so you can continually improve your event products and cater to the needs of your attendees. Most event apps track attendees by GPS, badges, or the most frequently used low-energy Bluetooth device.&nbsp; </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Provides Instant Feedback</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Best event apps for conferences provide instant analytic feedback. Most conference event apps track which booths the attendees favored, how long they listened to the audio tours at each exhibit, and overall what topics or things interest them the most.&nbsp; You can also set up polling to get the specific feedback you want from your attendees. </p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Push Notifications</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Including event apps at your next conference gives you the ability to send push notifications if the schedule changes or in case of an emergency.

You can do this by adding a section of the custom conference app that is dedicated to your sponsors. By taking time to thank them, you are giving your sponsors a unique platform and driving leads with just a click of a button. Make sure you take time to talk to your app developer on how to create ads that highlight your sponsors and allows your sponsors to track data and leads from the event.</p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Instantly Connected</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Paper brochures, maps, and schedules are difficult to keep track of and hard to map out.

This technology is particularly convenient for business users in different cities or even different countries because it saves time, expense, and hassle associated with business travel. Uses for video conferencing include holding routine meetings, negotiating business deals, and interviewing job candidates.\r\nVideo conferencing's main advantage over teleconferencing is that users can see each other, which allows them to develop stronger relationships. When a video conference is held for informal purposes, it is called a video call or video chat.\r\nThere are a variety of ways video conferencing can be conducted. Individuals may use web cameras connected to our built into laptop, tablet, or desktop computers. Smartphones equipped with cameras may also be used to connect for video conferences. In such instances, a software-based platform typically is used to transmit communication over Internet protocols.\r\nSome businesses use dedicated video conferencing rooms that have been equipped with high-grade cameras and screens to ensure the conversation is clear and with limited technical faults. Third-party providers often install and assemble the hardware needed to conduct the video conference.\r\nCompanies with multiple offices might establish direct video communications between their locations in order to allow their teams to work more collaboratively.\r\nVideo conferencing can also be used as a medium for conducting training, with the instructor teaching a remote class from almost anywhere. This can be done in a corporate context, especially for getting workers the knowledge they need to better perform their jobs. The academic world can also make use of video conferencing to connect a traditional classroom setting with students who have based a considerable distance from the school.\r\nA video conference may also be used to conduct regular meetings with a company staff or to confer with shareholders about the latest activities at the business. It may be used to announce significant changes at a company, such as introducing a new CEO or to present information in an interactive way that allows all participants to engage in discussion about what they see on screen.\r\nHotels and conference centers sometimes make video conferencing services available to guests who require such services. This may be offered in suites or conference rooms that have been equipped for this purpose.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is video conferencing?</span>\r\nVideo conferencing is two-way interactive communication delivered using telephone or Internet technologies that allows people at a different location to come together for a meeting. The video conference can be as simple as a conversation between two people in private offices (point-to-point) or involve several sites (multi-point) with more than one person in large rooms at different sites.\r\nA basic video conference setup has a camera and a microphone. Video from the camera and audio from the microphone is converted into a digital format and transmitted to a receiving location using a coding and decoding device, often referred to as a &quot;codec&quot;.\r\nAt that receiving location is another codec device that decodes the receiving digital stream into a form that can be seen and heard on monitors or televisions. At the same time, video and audio from cameras and microphones at the received location is sent back to the original location.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are the benefits of video conferencing?</span>\r\nVideo conferencing saves travel time and money. Participants can see and hear all other participants and communicate both verbally and visually, creating a face-to-face experience. PowerPoint and other on-screen graphics, as well as other cameras, are also available presentation options. People's downtime is reduced and productivity gains are achieved by removing the logistics of flight preparations, airport delays, hotel stays, and all the other inconveniences of business travel. In distance education, video conferencing provides quality access to students who could not travel to or could afford to relocate to a traditional campus. Video conferences can also be recorded and made available in a variety of ways, e.g., DVDs, streaming video. Besides distance education, other applications include meetings, dissertation and thesis defenses, telemedical procedures, and online conferences.\r\nPeople use video conferencing when:\r\n<ul><li>a live conversation is needed;</li><li>visual information is an important component of the conversation;</li><li>the parties of the conversation can't physically come to the same location;</li><li>the expense or time of travel is a consideration.</li></ul>\r\nExamples of how video conferencing can benefit people around campus:\r\n<ul><li>Guest lecturer invited into a class from another institution.</li><li>The researcher collaborates with colleagues at other institutions on a regular basis.</li><li>Thesis defense at another institution.</li><li>Administrators from different parts of campus need to collaborate on administrator issues such as a campus strategic plan.</li><li>Researcher needs to meet with a review committee about a grant.</li><li>Student interviews with an employer in another city.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Please explain the etiquette for video conferencing</span>\r\n<ul><li>Allow a few minutes for setting up and shutting down the video conference.</li><li>Stick to time limits.</li><li>Remember to mute your microphone when you are not talking.</li><li>Consider using a location banner.</li><li>Take turns speaking and allow time for audio delay.</li><li>Don't multi-task on camera.</li><li>Be aware of possible audio distractions if your microphone is not muted - coughing, paper shuffling, air conditioning units, laptop and projector fans, phone ringing, etc.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What are some suggestions for a successful video conference?</span>\r\nProvide an overview for new users so they can learn the basics of videoconferencing:\r\n<ul><li>Share rules of etiquette.</li><li>Get experience using the remote control (room based systems) or using the desktop client software.</li><li>Emphasize the importance of muting the microphone when you are not speaking.</li><li>Test with each location prior to the video conference.
