By integrating sound, image and file sharing, videoconferencing enables various teams to communicate in an interactive way from one site to another or between several remotes sites. This represents the most advanced teleconferencing media, and the closest to face-to-face meetings.

Videoconferencing emerged in the 80s, based on proprietary solutions, and showed lame performances in its early days because of limited and expensive bandwidth. It has been considered, for a long time as a costly solution that would only be used by large organizations.

This technology has standardized since year 2000 (and the IP protocol was a key driver in this) and solutions have become reliable and easier to use; they require less bandwidth and henceforth offer good service quality. Prices have dropped and videoconferencing finally showed more affordable to a larger scope of users.

The key benefits of videoconferencing

• By bridging distances, videoconferencing brings more participants to meetings as busy executives and experts are less reluctant to join, which provides more impact to the meetings.

• It significantly reduces direct (travel expenses, hotel fees, etc.) and indirect costs (administrative cost) related to logistics.

• It enhances flexibility and responsiveness within the organization and enables more meetings to be scheduled, thus accelerating the decision-making process.

• With top sound and image quality, it catches people's attention while discussed topics are shared and understood by participants.

• Videoconferencing features provide a great comfort during meetings: interactivity, speaker features, capacity to view counterparts, etc.

• This communication media now benefits from a high level of security through data encoding.
