Online Conference Software Verses Offline Conferences And Meetings

By James Galloway


It is very natural for businesses to communicate and collaborate via a meeting or conference. This happen seamlessly in small and large gatherings right from the average office whiteboard meeting through to the large venue conferences which you need to hire out. There will always be a place for this kind of collaboration.

Due to the importance of this, we have seen the birth and rise of online video conference software aiming to replicate that of an offline meeting. Fortunately with todays technology they are now finding this very easy to do. In fact, they have excelled many expectations.

If you are currently looking at using online video conference software yourself either for business or personal use, then hopefully this article will help guide you and give you the information you need to make an informed decision. There is already thousands of business owners who have already incorporated this great platform into their business, just as there are tonnes of providers appearing everyday to compete for this massive market place. Let us start by taking a look at few of the pros and cons.

The main pro to adopting on online conference package is costs. As you may know it can cost a business many thousands of dollars to hold an offline meeting. Even the smaller meetings can still be in the thousands with extra expenses involved. Expenses such as, travel, accommodation, entertainment, refreshments! The list goes on.

An online conference can cost you as little as $8.97 a month for a 50 seat room. To really cut these offline meeting costs to a minimal make sure you choose a conference provider who charges you per room and not per attendee. This is obviously a huge pro to moving over to online conferencing. Cutting costs in any business is vital and online conferencing software does this nicely.

By far the next pro to using this platform is the global reach. You do not need to be in the same place and therefore are not geographically challenged making it super easy for all to attend. You only need to have access to a computer, the Internet, and the invite to be part of an online conference. This also helps you to eliminate any planning like you would with an off line event. Planning can also be expensive and very timely in itself.

Another positive for this platform is its ability to replicate off line meetings in the form of multiple features which enable many great functions such as file sharing, desktop sharing, video sharing, browser sharing, PowerPoint sharing, and more. These features combined are incredible and to top it off you can also record the meeting for attendees unable to make it or archives.

There must be a con though. Of course there is, but the only con I could find is small, and with work it can be eliminated. In using online conference software you lose eye contact to a certain degree. The moderator simply has to look at what he or she is doing when using the tools.

I do hope my article helps you to determine the differences between on line and off line meetings, and also helps you to make an informed decision on whether you will start using it yourself.
