Video conferencing is a strategic enabler and can be a great communication tool for a business. Companies, government agencies and high-tech companies located around the world, regularly use video conferencing to organize meetings, conduct training, hold strategic discussions and share critical information. Video conferencing helps companies save in costs. However, the disadvantage of video conferencing is the lack of a personal touch; technology issues, security and cost are all potential drawbacks that need to be considered.
As a business person I would like to get to know whom I may be dealing with in person. The handshake before the meeting, eye contact, and even watching how people hold themselves during the meeting are important factors. I also know that some people may not be comfortable with talking in front of a camera over a computer, I am one of these people, but as the world gets more technical, there is always room for change. I know that it will help me, for example a customer trying to explain the thickness of their hair or explain a color they want to try in their hair I could always schedule a conference with them over the computer. Who knows, maybe I will start to like this.
