Why is video conferencing your IT department’s biggest nightmare? Bandwidth! This summer I have been interning with PGi; crawling through stacks of analyst research and white papers to develop a better understanding of the conferencing and collaboration market as a daily task. Much of what I’ve discovered revolves around the barriers preventing video conferencing from sweeping through the business meeting landscape.

While execs are pushing for more video, enterprise networks simply can’t bear the extra bandwidth load, and less bandwidth for video usually means less quality. With more of the Millennial Generation entering the workforce, like myself, our aptitude and embracement of video as the most effective medium for communicating only furthers the need for these bandwidth issues to be circumvented.  Fortunately, PGi has developed solutions that can integrate video conferencing into your businesses without making IT’s head spin.

Most video conferencing platforms call for an average 350kbps per user, a bandwidth requirement that can often be met in the SMB market, but is far from practical for larger businesses with network safety concerns. iMeet to the rescue! With its lean and clean user interface, cloud functionality, and bandwidth optimizing performance, iMeet can provide video conferencing capability at bandwidth costs less than half that of competitors. But it’s more than that; iMeet is the unified collaboration tool that brings together audio, video, file sharing and social media to meet the needs of whatever your meeting demands.

Equip your enterprise with the best conferencing tools by engaging in forward thinking technology without burdening your network or IT team. Providing workable solutions is what being a meetings expert is all about. Now that iMeet has solved your video conferencing bandwidth problems, can you imagine the possibilities video can provide your business?
