Video teleconferencing, a significant advance in telecommunications, is one of the newest technologies in today’s world and is being used by many businesses, as well as government and military entities. This ground-breaking tool is making it possible for users to save both time and money by being able to have face-to-face-communication from the security and comfort of their offices or homes.

Communicating by video teleconferencing has many advantages, including the ability to eliminate geographical limitations, which allows businesses using this technology to improvise and make immediate improvements in their operating systems. It also offers managers the ability to have a meeting with chosen participants in a setting that is controlled and well planned, or one that is spontaneous. In addition, managers can, with a few mouse clicks, approach and solve demands that are constantly changing in an evolving marketplace or within seconds share, organize and evaluate audio or digital presentations on the other side of the world. Video teleconferencing is also a good way for management, contractors, employees, and clients to communicate and collaborate on projects that are time sensitive.

With video teleconferencing, members of the board of directors can hold their meetings on a regular schedule and in a reliable manner and at the same time save money by reducing or eliminating the need for some board members to travel to the conference site. Video conferencing also gives board presidents or moderators the ability to control the content and frequency of meetings, as well as choosing which participants to invite, the content of the meeting and its time. Consultation and advisory emails can be followed up with automated responses from those intending to participate in a meeting so that those planning the meeting will know how many and who will attend, and approximately how long their participation can be expected.

Video conferences can also provide tangible savings resulting from not having the expense of airline tickets and room accommodations, as well as saving the time ordinarily spent idling in airports and hotels. Additionally, with no need to travel the issues involved with airline security and other considerations are no longer a factor. With less travel, more opportunities to co-ordinate and share information around the globe, and the competence to monitor and control a variety of aspects in an extensive area of command, a successful manager will soon be convinced of the benefits of video teleconferencing. The time and money saved can realistically be re-invested in other pursuits like marketing and advertising which will increase sales and add assets to the bottom line. Additionally, the ease of interaction allowed through teleconferencing is a viable way to improve both client and employee morale.

With this same approach heads of state of different countries can confer safely and securely with one another using video teleconferencing. Not only will this process decrease the travel budget for these countries, but it can also significantly minimize the security risks involved when important people travel from one country to another. They can obtain the same results by not traveling, staying at their desks and using this technology to speak face-to-face.
