Conferencing Enhances Mobile Work

by | Monday, November 25th, 2019

Have you ever sat through a meeting thinking to yourself, “Wow, this meeting is such a waste of time and resources”? I’m going to guess you have, and as a business owner you should never support unproductive processes, and meetings are no exception. So, what do you need to do to make sure that your staff isn’t diligently waiting for a useless, unproductive conference to end? You need to adopt better conferencing solutions. 

Conferencing solutions are available which can be used across all different platforms, across different devices. The attendees can partake in a conference call on a Mac, an iPhone, or even a tablet. Improving the tools you use to conference call your employees or clients will greatly improve the attitude typically associated with meetings. No longer will they be too long or boring, or just a waste of energy. 

Different conferencing solutions offer a variety of different features, but there are a few that you should really look for when selecting a solution. These are…

Screen Sharing

Screen sharing is simple. It allows you to take your screen, everything you are looking at, and share it with meeting attendees. You can navigate pages or complete different tasks just as you normally would, except to an audience. 

Real-Time Chat

Different conferencing solutions allow you to send messages in real-time, which likely was a factor in the naming of this feature. Being able to do so allows you to message your coworker to mute their mic as they chomp down on crunchy chips, which could save a client. 

Drawing Tools

Drawing tools might seem like they belong in the classroom, but visual learners strongly benefit from this feature. This tool brings conferencing great value when combined with the screen sharing feature. 

Meeting Recording

Being able to record meetings means you don’t have to keep pushing the meeting back if someone is unable to attend. It also allows you to look back and listen to the most critical points of the meeting. 

There are so many more features that can be used to make conferencing more efficient. Our trained experts at Compudata can answer any questions you may have, so give us a call at 1-855-405-8889 today!
