Online meetings are very helpful.
In the olden times, when there wasn’t so much of stress and when companies were smaller, it was easy to go by horseback to another office of the company and have corporate meetings. Most of the offices were located in the same building and at most in buildings or chambers a couple of hundred yards away. But now, in this modern world, not only are office located cities apart; they are also located countries apart. That is why when corporate meetings of the head of all areas and regional managers and all are called; the same can become a pretty expensive affair.
A cheaper, and probably a very easy alternative to the cross country and cross city meetings are the modern day web meetings. In a web meeting, computers are connected with high speed internet and webcams along with special software to be able to hold the meeting. All the people attending the meeting can sit in front of the computer and see and talk to the other person as if he or she were in the same room. For example if Company A, that has one office in Australia, another in America and another in UK wants to hold a meeting of directors, all the directors can go to a web meeting center and then talk to each other as if there were actually in the same room with the CEO sitting at the head table.
When these online meeting solutions were created, they were not very popular. People didn’t take easily and Online meetings were an extremely expensive affair back then. It is believed that online web meetings started gaining popularity with the introduction of Microsoft Netmeeting 3.0, wherein people could video conference together. Taking ideas from there other companies also released free version of web meeting or video conferencing solutions with paid versions as well, that offered a few more features and facilities.
Today internet based online web meeting solutions are fast gaining popularity in all walks of life. Many Schools, colleges, universities and the like are using it for educational purposes and to spread literacy to areas that still have not even heard of education. Teaching by online meeting solutions and video conferencing is fast gaining popularity. Governments use it, military uses it, corporates use it and if you think about it, if you video chat with a known person every day, you are already having an informal online meeting!
