Corporate training is a very expensive aspect of almost every business. Employees must engage in programs created o enhance their working and thinking ability so that they can help the business operate more smoothly. In most cases, special trainers would have to be hired to train a group of people for the job. Times would have to be set to fit the schedules of various employees and the same trainer would have to repeat training sessions each time a new training session is needed. And each training session could produce a different outcome because certain points were not included and others were not. This inconsistency in corporate training creates a problem for many businesses. Moreover, travel time and inconvenience takes away from the profitabiliyt of almost any business. |
Communication between members of a large business often create a bottleneck for businesses and prevents the company from operating at its peak. Travel time among employees is lost when meetings are dispersed throughout the country. And international businesses are hampered even more when employees must spend an extraordinary amount of time traveling from one location to the next rather than doing valuable work.Thus, tremendous amounts of time are lost just for employees to attend meetings. Communication is a key component to the success of any corporate level business. And the solution of video telecommunication can certainly improve productivity by eliminating the necessity of employees traveling around the world for business reasons.

Businesses canuse streaming video to deliver corporate announcements, departmental meetings, and training events to desktop PCs so that viewers can take advantage of the on-demand advantage of video telecommunications. This is very convenient for the business because it allows employees as well as employees to obtain important information on-demand at any time of the day whenever they have time. In terms of cost-benefit analysis, Unisys saves tens of thousands of dollars by implementing this method rather than calling meetings where if one person misses the meeting, people have to spend time to re-explain plans for the business. And when staff members come from all over the world, this is even a greater benefit for the business. Here are a few businesses using streaming video for corporate communications: General Mills, J.D.

Businesses can also look to streaming video telecommunications for sales and marketing. They can create videos to introduce their product and use the opportunity to sell their product to their viewers. Streaming video in this sense acts very much like TV commercials by educating the viewer of what the product is so the buyer can be better informed about what the consumer can gain. One such company doing this is Hewlett Packard. For more complete information check out the Microsoft site. |
