A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. Short messages are typically transmitted between two parties, when each user chooses to complete a thought and select "send". Some IM applications can use push technology to provide real-time text, which transmits messages character by character, as they are composed. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat.\r\nNon-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms", where participants might be anonymous or might be previously known to each other (for example collaborators on a project that is using chat to facilitate communication).

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 "codec".\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.

It offers data streams of text-based messages, voice and video chat to be shared simultaneously, across geographically dispersed locations.

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. </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. 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"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]}],"countries":[{"id":217,"title":"Ukraine","name":"UKR"}],"startDate":"0000-00-00","endDate":"0000-00-00","dealDate":"0000-00-00","price":0,"status":"finished","statusLabel":"Finished","isImplementation":true,"isAgreement":false,"confirmed":1,"implementationDetails":{"businessObjectives":{"id":14,"title":"Business objectives","translationKey":"businessObjectives","options":[{"id":6,"title":"Ensure Security and Business Continuity"},{"id":10,"title":"Ensure Compliance"},{"id":5,"title":"Enhance Staff Productivity"}]},"businessProcesses":{"id":11,"title":"Business process","translationKey":"businessProcesses","options":[{"id":378,"title":"Low employee productivity"},{"id":398,"title":"Poor communication and coordination among staff"},{"id":377,"title":"Separate communications channels"}]}},"categories":[{"id":495,"title":"Instant Communications Applications","alias":"instant-communications-applications","description":" Instant messaging (IM) technology is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet.

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.

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 "codec".\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.

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. </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. </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. 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"}],"additionalInfo":{"budgetNotExceeded":"-1","functionallyTaskAssignment":"-1","projectWasPut":"-1","price":0,"source":{"url":"https://www.verna.ua/projects/seti-i-telekommunikatsii/item/999-vnedrenie-sistemy-videokonferentssvyazi","title":"Supplier's web site"}},"comments":[],"referencesCount":0}],"userImplementations":[],"userImplementationsCount":0,"supplierImplementationsCount":0,"vendorImplementationsCount":1,"vendorPartnersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":3,"b4r":0,"categories":{"30":{"id":30,"title":"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.

A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. Short messages are typically transmitted between two parties, when each user chooses to complete a thought and select "send". Some IM applications can use push technology to provide real-time text, which transmits messages character by character, as they are composed. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat.\r\nNon-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms", where participants might be anonymous or might be previously known to each other (for example collaborators on a project that is using chat to facilitate communication). Instant messaging systems tend to facilitate connections between specified known users (often using a contact list also known as a "buddy list" or "friend list"). Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (an Instant message service center retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).\r\nBy 2010, instant messaging over the Web was already in sharp decline, in favor of messaging features on social networks. The most popular IM platforms, such as AIM, closed in 2017, and Windows Live Messenger was merged into Skype. Today, most instant messaging takes place on messaging apps which by 2014 had more users than social networks.\r\nInstant messaging is a set of communication technologies used for text-based communication between two or more participants over the Internet or other types of networks. IM–chat happens in real-time. Of importance is that online chat and instant messaging differ from other technologies such as email due to the perceived quasi-synchrony of the communications by the users. Some systems permit messages to be sent to users not then 'logged on' (offline messages), thus removing some differences between IM and email (often done by sending the message to the associated email account).\r\nIM allows effective and efficient communication, allowing immediate receipt of acknowledgment or reply. However IM is basically not necessarily supported by transaction control. In many cases, instant messaging includes added features which can make it even more popular. For example, users may see each other via webcams, or talk directly for free over the Internet using a microphone and headphones or loudspeakers. Many applications allow file transfers, although they are usually limited in the permissible file-size.\r\nIt is usually possible to save a text conversation for later reference. Instant messages are often logged in a local message history, making it similar to the persistent nature of emails.

Web conferencing allows you to conduct online presentations, collaborate on documents and applications, view websites, videos, images.\r\nWeb conferences, as a rule, are Internet services that require the installation of a client program on each participant’s computer. Some services also provide access to a web conference via a browser using flash, java or a special plug-in.\r\nServices for web conferencing can include features and tools such as screen sharing (screen sharing or individual applications), whiteboard (interactive whiteboard), the ability to show web presentations, co-browsing (the ability to synchronously browse web pages), tools for annotations, monitoring the presence of participants, text chat, integrated VoIP communication, video communication, the ability to change the leader, the ability to give control over the mouse and keyboard, meeting moderation tools, feedback collection tools (on example, polls), tools for scheduling and inviting participants, the ability to record the progress of a web conference.\r\nOften, web conferencing is used with Internet services for audio and video calls (for example, Skype) or they provide conference calling via a regular telephone.","materialsDescription":" What is the first thing that strikes you when we look at businessmen who are trying to establish communication with each other online? All of them require: “Give more opportunities for web conferencing!”. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that the WebRTC technology is gaining the favor of an increasing number of small and medium-sized businesses.\r\nA recent study conducted by Software Advice showed that more than half of employees in small businesses prefer web conferences, noting their efficiency and usability. The advantages are especially noticeable in comparison with communications via telephone or the use of special applications. However, the benefits of web conferencing do not end there - according to the study, they not only increase the speed and quality of online meetings, but also provide a lot of opportunities for collaboration. In addition, and this is obvious, they reduce travel costs.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Speed and quality come first.</span>\r\nIt is worth noting that now small and medium businesses are almost gone from the use of communication hardware and use desktop computers and mobile devices. Despite the fact that audio and video conferences are still very popular (they are used by 45% and 50% of users, respectively), web conferences are actively replacing them. Judge for yourself - according to statistics, every third user selects them as a means of communication after the first experience of use.\r\nThe main reason for such a rapid growth in popularity is the speed and quality that web conferencing users provide. According to respondents, the main advantage of web conferences is the ability to organize a meeting much faster than before. Now there is no need to spend time on installing special applications like Skype or similar - any communication systems using any third-party programs are a thing of the past. Also worth noting is the ability to connect to the web conference literally in one click.\r\nMore than 40% of the people surveyed showed dissatisfaction with the tedious procedure of entering authorization data, noting the simplicity and convenience of connecting to the WebRTC web conference. All you need is access to the Internet!\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">We work in a team</span>\r\nIt is no secret that the use of web conferencing significantly reduces the company's travel expenses. After all, booking tickets, searching for hotels and meeting places can result in a decent amount, which will seriously hurt the company's income. Using web conferences, you get the opportunity to arrange business meetings, even with overseas partners, without leaving your office. But that's not all! Web conferencing offers a range of tools to overcome language barriers.

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 "codec".\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.

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.

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. </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. </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. 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"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},{"id":283,"logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Polycom_RealPresence_Web_Suite.jpg","logo":true,"scheme":false,"title":"Polycom RealPresence Web Suite","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"1.80","implementationsCount":0,"suppliersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":3,"alias":"polycom-realpresence-web-suite","companyTitle":"Polycom","companyTypes":["vendor"],"companyId":2803,"companyAlias":"polycom","description":"Polycom RealPresence Web Suite is an innovative and powerful solution providing web collaboration to anyone, anywhere with feature rich content sharing capabilities that help bring new ideas to life while integrating easily with everyday workflows.\r\nMulti-stream content sharing enables multiple documents to be viewed simultaneously including whiteboard, blackboard, and annotation\r\nUniversal browser access allows users to host or join meetings, share content, and collaborate with other web, mobile, desktop, and room system participants\r\nSimple click-to-connect convenience quickly brings participants into a meeting on a PC, tablet, or smartphone by clicking a URL link received in an IM, email, or calendar invitation\r\nHigh-quality B2B collaboration and B2C video conferencing leverages Polycom RealPresence Clariti – the industry's most interoperable, scalable, and secure video infrastructure solution\r\nNewsWatch Review on RealPresence Web Suite and the workplace of the future\r\n\r\nIf you work in an environment where you have to join meetings, share information, and collaborate regardless of your location, then you should check out Polycom’s RealPresence Web Suite.\r\n\r\nTechnical Benefits Share\r\n\r\nRealPresence Web Suite lets users arrange impromptu or scheduled meetings by automatically sending invitations with meeting details including a web link for simple click-to-connect convenience.

All of them require: “Give more opportunities for web conferencing!”. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that the WebRTC technology is gaining the favor of an increasing number of small and medium-sized businesses.\r\nA recent study conducted by Software Advice showed that more than half of employees in small businesses prefer web conferences, noting their efficiency and usability. The advantages are especially noticeable in comparison with communications via telephone or the use of special applications. However, the benefits of web conferencing do not end there - according to the study, they not only increase the speed and quality of online meetings, but also provide a lot of opportunities for collaboration. In addition, and this is obvious, they reduce travel costs.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Speed and quality come first.</span>\r\nIt is worth noting that now small and medium businesses are almost gone from the use of communication hardware and use desktop computers and mobile devices. Despite the fact that audio and video conferences are still very popular (they are used by 45% and 50% of users, respectively), web conferences are actively replacing them. Judge for yourself - according to statistics, every third user selects them as a means of communication after the first experience of use.\r\nThe main reason for such a rapid growth in popularity is the speed and quality that web conferencing users provide. According to respondents, the main advantage of web conferences is the ability to organize a meeting much faster than before. Now there is no need to spend time on installing special applications like Skype or similar - any communication systems using any third-party programs are a thing of the past. Also worth noting is the ability to connect to the web conference literally in one click.\r\nMore than 40% of the people surveyed showed dissatisfaction with the tedious procedure of entering authorization data, noting the simplicity and convenience of connecting to the WebRTC web conference. All you need is access to the Internet!\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">We work in a team</span>\r\nIt is no secret that the use of web conferencing significantly reduces the company's travel expenses.
