More and more companies are realizing the benefits of
using video conferencing technology to conduct business
meetings. The cost savings from the reduction in required
travel can be tremendous. As businesses are increasingly
turning to the use of video conferencing technology,
companies that provide video conferencing equipment are
becoming more and more creative in how they provide for
their customers needs.
Businesses can now have access to conferencing rooms that
not only provide all the necessary equipment to conduct a
video conference, but all of the necessary scheduling and
setup services required to host a conference as well. Public
video conference rooms that provide for all of a customer's
video conferencing needs are being referred to as public
rooms. If you are just beginning to explore the use of video
conferencing for your business, video conferencing public
rooms may be just what your business needs.
What are the benefits of using public conferencing rooms?
For starters, you can access all of the latest state of the
art conferencing equipment without having purchase it as
capital equipment. Most public rooms can be rented for a
very small fee, which is based on your equipment needs and
how long you need to utilize the facility. They handle
everything else. All the conference setup, equipment
maintenance, and support are included in the one time rental
fee. This can save your company a tremendous amount of money
in equipment costs alone.
There are several different companies that offer public
rooms for your video conferencing needs. One of the more
popular ones is
FedEx Kinko's. FedEx Kinko's offers public rooms in more
than 120 of their locations nationwide. Most are available
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Their facilities have a wide
range of equipment options available, and they even offer
videotaping services so that you can record your conference
for future viewing.
Another company called
Proximity is actually an international video
conferencing service provider. Proximity has over 3,500
public conferencing rooms worldwide. If you choose to use
one of Proximity's public rooms, they will handle all of
details necessary to make your conference a success.
Proximity says they can organize a conference for you and
anywhere from one to five thousand viewers. All you have to
do is show up. Now that's service.
StandByVideo (DBA VideoconferenceRooms.com) is another
unique site you might want to visit if you are considering
using a public room to host a video conference. They act
like a broker in finding you the best site location to host
your conference. StandByVideo can help you find the most
convenient, cost effective option in minutes. They handle
all of the legwork for you and then present you with all of
the available options. Once you have selected a location,
they confirm all of the technical details such as equipment
availability, connection speed, network type, etc. They
coordinate all of the technical details required to make
sure all the participants are able to connect ahead of time
before the conference begins. If you need to set up a video
conference with many participants in a very short period of
time, StandByVideo may be way to go.
