Teleconferencing for the Small and Medium-Sized Company
Article Abstract:
Despite the price, teleconferencing would seem to have a place in small and medium sized businesses. Teleconferencing can have the same benefits for small businesses as much larger ones. Basically, it helps to improve the communications within the company. More efficient meetings, better decision making, time and money savings and better controls are among the benefits listed for teleconferenc- ing. There are many myths facing the industry: teleconferencing does not cost a lot of money, the quality of communications is excellent, the calls are not difficult to arrange and it does not take long to implement a system. Five types of conferencing are discussed: audio, facsimile, writing devices, slow-scan TV and computer conferencing.
