Virtual Meetings and Web Conferencing

Web conferences have become a very popular means of sharing information amongst dispersed teams, but as a means of meeting virtually they are they lack the energy and involvement of face-to-face meetings.

Web conferences do not allow you to directly call another person or bring them directly to a meeting. Furthermore, they do not allow you to directly call another person or bring them directly to a meeting. With a web conference you always have to create a meeting and invite others to attend. They are 'meet me' solutions.

Virtual meeting solutions allow ad-hoc calls and conferences just like using the phone, in addition to more formal scheduled meetings.

Web conferences often require different meeting products for different meeting scenarios. You may need to use a separate audio (or video) conference alongside the web conference.

Virtual meetings integrate all aspects of communication - audio, video and data - into a single integated solution.

Web conferencing products from different vendors do not interoperate with each other. They are non-standard. Virtual meeting solutions support international standards to ensure interoperability between different products from different manufacturers.
