Over the last few years, video conferencing is no longer a want but a need for business communication. Thanks to all the benefits it offers to enterprises. Cloud video conferencing boosts its popularity further by making it cost-effective for companies of all sizes and budgets.
At Actis, we believe in making businesses understand the true value of a well-integrated collaboration tool. Before making the switch to cloud-based video conferencing solutions or Cloud VC solutions, there are a few factors you need to consider. Here are five key considerations for Cloud VC integration in your business.
1 – Aim for flexibility and scalability
For businesses that have already have hardware from legacy systems or those looking to move from on-premise to on cloud models, it’s best to opt for a Cloud VC solution that easily integrates with existing infrastructure. It’s also important to find out if the platform is compatible with your commonly used tools. Pay-as-you-grow-or-use models are great for small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) that frequently scale their operations up or down.
2 – Optimized quality and performance
A stellar video conferencing service should run seamlessly on any device, be it the company endpoints or personal devices of the employees i.e. BYOD connectivity.Also, look for solutions that support 3G/4G mobile networks. This makes it easier to stay connected and collaborate from virtually anywhere. Furthermore, all of this should be delivered without any lag or dropouts in video quality.
3 – Network and data security is paramount
Cloud-based video conferencing can be equally secure than on-premise systems. Most service providers have dedicated expertise and resources to provide conferencing services in compliance with security standards. Cloud VC solution is a logical choice for small and mid-sized businesses that do not have the budget or in-house expertise to maintain such high levels of security.
4 – Consider the popularity of the cloud VC platform
With businesses going global, communication and collaboration with people across time-zones is even more important. With more global clients and partners to connect with and more employees working from outside the office walls. Businesses require video conferencing ability via a convenient web or browser-based conferencing platform. In such cases, the right Cloud VC solution provider is one who can provide high-quality video services without overtaxing the network bandwidth.
5 – Ask for a demonstration or a trial
Finally, it’s important to choose a service provider that offers a free trial period or demonstration to help you decide whether you would like to go ahead with the service. Business owners can work with their CTOs or IT-AV personnel to explore the platform’s full potential and offerings. Additionally, businesses of any size can also consult or work with third-party AV integrators to leverage their experience in enterprise-level installation projects.
