In order to serve as a trusted advisor to our clients, we need to stay up to speed with the latest IT trends and solutions. To achieve that, our team of IT experts attends weekly training sessions conducted by various IT solution providers. Based on our extensive experience and sales volume with the suppliers, we receive exclusive, direct and usually in person training from these vendors. Our Tech Talks blog series offers a snapshot of these educational sessions.
Today’s workforce is more mobile and spread out than ever before. Many organizations not only have team members at multiple sites but also allow employees to perform their duties from home and/or on the go. As a result, conducting meetings in person has become more challenging. However, high-definition videoconferencing solutions can give your business the ability to still have “face-to-face” contact with colleagues as well as clients in various locations.
Our team of cloud consultants recently met with representatives from Lifesize, a video and audio telecommunications company that provides HD videoconferencing solutions for modern businesses. If you’re looking for videoconferencing products for your organization, here’s some information about their offerings for your consideration.
