More Options to Maximize Video Conferencing Investment with BrightCom

Huntington Beach, CA, August 27, 2008 --(PR.com)-- BrightCom™, the performance leader in integrated conferencing solutions, offers more than a reduction in enterprise travel costs as it transforms everyday meetings into collaborative work sessions and allows businesses to maximize investment in video conferencing equipment.

As more companies turn to video conferencing to lower travel costs and promote an environmentally friendly business, the power of video conferencing and its’ benefits for every day operations are at times overlooked.

According to Daniel Burrus, the founder and CEO of Burrus Research, “The challenge today is that many companies are going into crisis mode. Because air travel and gas costs are high, they’re using video and Web conferencing, as well as the new high-end videoconferencing called telepresence […], to save travel money. However, if their only motivation is to save money on travel, rather than the more important goal of enhancing communication and collaboration throughout the enterprise, then they’re simply creating another fad.”

Burrus continued to say, “Smart companies are changing how they think about meetings and the new video conferencing technology, and they’re realizing that it offers business something more powerful than they’ve had in the past.”

BrightCom Visual Collaboration System (VCS) 2.0, offers increased collaboration and overall savings for businesses by allowing meeting participants in a single conference room or from around the world to connect and share data. VCS 2.0 is an integrated conferencing solution that offers high quality video, audio and data conferencing and telepresence capability in one unified package.

Bob McCandless, CEO of BrightCom stated, “Imagine a small internal business meeting in which participants in a conference room or in home offices on their laptops can share data, and instantly switch control of the meeting to pool resources from their personal files and web content while also connecting with each other through high resolution video and audio. VCS can do this without having participants struggle with switching cables or PCs and losing valuable time and focus.”

VCS 2.0 offers high quality video and audio in a side by side presentation with a full suite of data sharing options including document, image, web and screen sharing, white board, instant polling and remote control. Because businesses can use the equipment for both external and internal meetings, they can increase the daily use and familiarity with the technology and ultimately achieve a greater return on investment on their video conferencing solution.
