Video Conferencing is finally getting its due.

We have been talking about Video Conferencing for 6+ years as a viable alternative to meeting face-to-face and finally in today’s market we are seeing a growing trend of inherent understanding. The cost savings alone speak volumes to all cost controllers and all rooms (at least all rooms associated with Momentum Conferencing) have a dedicated IT person or VC Manager/Specialist available to ensure the highest quality session.

 According to Harold German - renowned author and contributor, with appearances in noted international publications such as The Economist and on news stations such as CNN.  Mr. German covers IP networks and the future of conferencing technologies.: “The appeal of collaborative capability is not new. Collaboration technologies like Web and video conferencing have been around for some time, the latter for more than a decade. The fact is that face-to-face meetings are vital to the success of all business relationships and work-related projects.

The only way to maintain this level of communication without ringing up hundreds of thousands of dollars in travel costs and losing hundreds of valuable hours in productivity every year is by incorporating conferencing technologies into the mix.
