One of the major advantages of teleconferencing is its potential to
reduce the cost of group meetings. Savings come primarily from reduced
travel costs.
Although saving money is a big advantage of teleconferencing, there are
several other advantages:
- Routine meetings are often more effective since one can
audioconference from any location with access to a telephone.
- As gas prices go up, the cost of traveling to meetings is
increasingly costly. Big River Teleconferencing alleviates this problem
by allowing you to stay in one place while still conversing with
everyone you need to.
- There is less socializing between participants than that of a
face-to-face meeting; therefore, meetings are shorter and more geared
toward the primary purpose of the meeting.
- Communication between staff members from different locations is
maximized.
- Follow-up to previous meetings can be done easily and with little
expense to your company.
- People who wouldn't normally attend a distant face-to-face meeting
will often take part in a conference call.
- Simple problem solving and information exchange can be handled
without the expense and lost time associated with a face-to-face
meeting.
- Weather conditions and unreliable transportation do not affect a
conference call as they would an in- person meeting.
Teleconferencing has vast potential for increasing the efficiency of
communication. For most of us, this means less time away from home, more
money to devote to other activities, and more time to spend on other
projects.
