TO LEARN MORE... LET'S KNOW THE ADVANTAGES OF VIDEO CONFERENCE!

Boosted

Boost for collaboration

A good Internet connection (to avoid pixelation and the famous "can you hear me?" ), video solutions (webcam/camera, headphones/speaker) and good meeting software, and you're done! Simply dial a number or click a meeting link to bring together globally dispersed employees around the same long-distance communication. Practical, right?

The different collaboration platforms ( Microsoft Teams , Zoom , Google Meet ) combine video discussion with annotation, sharing and other functions, all designed to simplify the task! What more could you want?

productivity

A true productivity lever

We know: your productivity, like ours, depends largely on the quality of your work life. Video conferencing is the promise of convenience and flexibility for your meetings. Even if you have to find a time slot that suits everyone, you will no longer have to worry about possible delays and absences caused by the vagaries of transport (strikes, traffic jams, accidents, etc.).

The start and end times of meetings are set in advance, so participants are obliged to stick to the agenda, and this helps avoid excesses. (Or at least gives you an excuse to leave the meeting: the traditional "I have another call to start, I have to go.")

Small advantage : with the right video conferencing tool, no more repeated loss of information!

Time

Time constraints are over

72% of employees find business trips more stressful than a visit to the dentist, and frankly, we get it! Strikes, delays, accidents... So many sources of stress and fatigue just to bring a team together in a conference room... Is it really worth it?

With video conferencing, you can hold meeting after meeting without having to travel miles. Hosting meetings via video conferencing saves you precious time: reducing the hours spent preparing for them and limiting time wasted before and after.

Meetings at a lower cost

Meetings at a lower cost

The value of face-to-face meetings is invaluable from a human point of view, but not from a budgetary point of view. Train tickets, hotels, restaurants... every time you travel, you incur expenses for your company, and extra work for your accounting colleagues...

Thanks to video conferencing, there is no longer a need to travel around the world to meet colleagues or clients in a conference room. No more accommodation, catering and transportation costs. (Your accounting department will thank you .)

Ecological behavior

Ecological behavior

He is a mathematician. The more you travel, the more CO² you emit. By using video conferencing, you reinforce your eco-responsible approach by choosing a more economical and drastically less polluting solution. Limiting your employees' movements is a way of combining several ecological gestures: reducing your CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions, controlling your carbon footprint...

In short, we are not telling you to give up teambuilding or afterwork! Of course, you still need to bring your teams together in person to maintain cohesion and a sense of belonging, but you can do it less frequently thanks to video conferencing.
