Follow on Google News | ACT Helps Companies Navigate Web Conferencing OptionsACT Conferencing is offering a guide to help companies navigate the world of web conferencing
By: Michelle Baum, Chase Communications When trying to determine which online service to use, ACT suggests considering four primary questions: 1.) How many people will be involved? 2.) What type of communication is needed during the meeting? (e.g. audio, video, pre-recorded material) 3.) What information will be shared in real-time? (e.g. presentation, videos) 4.) What level of interaction is needed for participants? By answering these questions, organizations can determine which conferencing service to employ. For instance, a web conference is appropriate for a highly interactive meeting involving a small number of participants and visual components. Web conferences rarely involve the use of video and focus mainly on PC content, such as PowerPoint presentations. Easy-to-use, ACT’s ReadyConnect Web Meeting can be set up on demand, and by sharing documents in real-time, participants can save time later. For a presentation- If the presentation is more formal and involves a speaker and a large audience, then a webcast will be most effective. Frequently used for training, ACT’s ConferenceCastTM Webcasts use streaming media technology to distribute both the static and interactive content from the speaker to the audience. “Through our 24x7, 365-day support network, we’re finding an increasing number of calls are inquiries about how to know what type of conferencing service to use for different types of meetings. With all the options now available, it can be tough to know what services to use when,” said Victor Burgess, senior director of global service delivery, ACT Conferencing. “We help our customers determine which web conferencing tool to use by posing the four basic questions outlined above. By using the right tool, customers will achieve the best results.” Cautionary Statements Statements made in this news release that are not historical facts, such as those discussing future plans and management’s beliefs, are forward-looking statements.
