The Benefits of Outsourcing Your Video Conferencing System

Guest Blogger: Lifesize.com

In an ever increasing globally expanding economy where one business can be sited in multiple locations, maintaining interpersonal communication has become vital. It is necessary that regional managers have frequent meetings in order to maintain the co-ordination of such a widespread company.

Paying for a dedicated in-house video conferencing system does not always make the most benefit to the company. In many companies it makes more sense to appoint an outsourced video conferencing service, especially for those companies that frequently shift operations according to patterns in regional eCommerce.

A ‘cloud’ of services has developed essentially provided by an outsourced company. This is in order to conserve funds and increase company productivity. There are many forms of hardware that are becoming part of this outsourced trend also. The intricacies found with in-house proprietary systems can be found to cause frequent technical difficulties when they are relocated or transported to another destination. Transportation can also pose a threat to the continued fluidity of the company’s operations – especially if different parts of the video equipment arrive at different times.

To avoid these issues, there are many companies that are looking to outsourced facilities for their video conferencing units. With the system arriving wherever it is needed, it is set up by a team of professionals who are adept at the intricacies of the systems. Video conferencing can be set up at any time and in any place, therefore it is only beneficial to have an instant service in place of the more time consuming traditional video conferencing methods. As there are many businesses that also operate from remote locations for perhaps months or even weeks at a time, this type of instant video conferencing is an ideal asset for any company to have.

The costs can be streamlined by the outsourcing of this product as only the necessary requirements are obtained in order to make use of the service; any other unnecessary extras are made redundant. Maintenance costs can be avoided along with overheads such as the employment of an IT professional along with a whole host of other fees and costs that would usually be involved in the running of an in-house video conferencing system.

The quality and standard of outsourced video equipment is also of a particularly high grade with the latest technology and clearest communication channels being part of the service package. Rather than working with an outdated system that requires updates in patches or hardware upgrades, the outsourced video equipment allows business users to communicate through state-of-the-art technology leading to better connections, clearer signals and an overall higher quality of video call.

Due to this high level of communication, it is easy for vast amount of information to be communicated rapidly without having to deal with processing delays or realignment procedures that can be long winded and tedious. Multiple locations including warehouses, offices and other satellite outposts can be connected quickly and efficiently to begin a face-to-face conference without loss of productivity. With the benefit of fully trained personnel operating the equipment on your behalf, the set up times are minimal. After the conference comes to an end, it is quick and simple for the equipment to be removed leaving space for other company projects.
