Video Conferencing in the Palm of Your Hand

Video Conferencing in the Palm of Your Hand

Video conferencing is an amazing tool that has encouraged and improved collaborative communication. It brings people together without the cost and time needed for travel to face to face meetings. Video conferencing adds an element to communication that cannot be achieved when using regular conference calls. While video conferencing tools are an asset to many companies, they have their limitations since the equipment is often expensive and stationary. That was until now; Global IP Solutions has created a technology that makes video conferencing easy and accessible to the masses. The technology is available for devices such as the Android and the iPhone. "GIPS VideoEngine allows application developers to support two-way video chat on a variety of IP devices…The addition of iPhone support to the GIPS stable of products allows solution providers and mobile carriers to provide videoconferencing, including one-way video and two-way synchronized audio, to an even larger audience." (Tierney, 2009). This technology will allow businesses to go virtual and still stay connected. Easy to use video conferencing at the touch of a button no matter where a person is will foster effective communication between parties whether they are across town from one another or across the country. Communication and collaboration will now be easier than ever before.
