Web Conferencing / Online Meetings

The challenges arising from a still ongoing globalisation and steadily accelerating cycles of innovation are manifold for internal and external corporate communication: frequent business trips to meet co-workers, partners, customers and supplies personally generate high costs, great loss of time, and enormous stress potential, not to mention the negative environmental record. Nevertheless, the need for communication is typically much higher and more complex than what a telephone conference and e-mails are able to cover. A company should, can, and has to have a tight-knit communication network, nowadays. Still, personal presence is not necessarily required. Virtual meetings in vitero are easier, faster, cheaper and often even more effective than meeting in person.

Effective collaboration with web conferences

A decisive advantage of web conferences with vitero compared to classical telephone, video or web conferences lies in its patented ergonomics. The graphic user interface grants quickly an overview on who is present in the room. As in situations in presence, it is also clear who, for instance, is currently speaking, giving a presentation, or has the role of the chairperson. In this way meetings can be done in a structured manner; participants do not interrupt one another as during a 'telco'. Beside photo and Audio (via telephone or VoIP) there are many helpful possibilities to interact and visualise: online polls or the joined editing of documents via application are just as possible as, for instance, splitting up into smaller groups or a card query.

Examples of application

The fields of application are quite numerous. Among them we find:

Project meetings
Management meetings
Sales meetings
Symposia
Brief meetings
Crisis meetings (business continuity management)

Quick and easy start of sessions

To join a meeting there are no installations, admin rights, plug-ins, add-ins, flash players or ActiveX etc. necessary. On top of that the user is not tied to a certain browser, browser version or browser settings. Even participants in company with high IT-security restrictions can be connected. Via login or click on a link participants can join a meeting within minutes.
The vitero Outlook AddIn simplifies things even further: without any previous knowledge sessions can be booked in Outlook, participants invited and appointments attended, too. User accounts are not necessarily required. The participants can either self-register or attend a meeting unregistered. In this way spontaneous meetings can be realised.
