Strong efforts from major companies like Cisco, Microsoft, and IBM to promote media-rich productivity tools are boosting the prospects for videoconferencing,
reports In-Stat.
The driving factors behind increased adoption and use are technology, bandwidth, and convergence, the high-tech market research firm says.
According to a recent In-Stat survey of US businesses, "Videoconferencing: US End-User and Decision Maker Perspectives", the decision to use or not use
videoconferencing is no longer based on uncertainty over the quality of the experience among those who have tried it lately. Furthermore, cost alone does
not seem to be a hindrance of adoption or use.
"The shift to an IP environment that enables unified communications, presence, and mobile integration provides a technological environment where
traditional videoconferencing, as well as telepresence can become synergistic elements," says David Lemelin, In-Stat analyst.
The study also revealed that:
- Current users of videoconferencing are generally satisfied with their system and find value in the experience.
- Past users are willing to reconsider videoconferencing if the quality, usability, and cost are reasonable.
- Videoconferencing is beginning to resonate as a part of corporations' commitments to "green" environmental issues, though this benefit can be
leveraged more aggressively in the future.
