Cost Benefit of IP vs ISDN Conferencing

In-Vision from Network-i is creating a new video conferencing metric where quality communication and ease of use pervade.

A decade on since its introduction into mainstream corporate use, video conferencing has had a generally unimpressive impact on the way we do business. We still fly everywhere – or drive, take the train or the cab across town, whereas IP Video Conferencing brings the operational and cost benefits justifying its implementation and use.

• Our service is available for a cost effective monthly subscription which allows for predictable, manageable costs.
• With no usage charges, there are no unexpected bills.
• The service is always on.
• Connection and monthly fees are the same whether you are in London, Luxembourg or Los Angeles.
• Up to 70% less expensive than ISDN and Virtual Private Networks.

Fit for Purpose?

Historically the video conferencing industry has been guilty of assuming that businesses are looking for video conferencing solutions. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Businesses these days live or die by their productivity. Their hope is that video conferencing might improve productivity. The reality is that it has been complicated and cumbersome. Complexity and management challenges have frequently introduced wastage which detract from productivity.

So to those people trying to justify video conferencing on the basis that it has been less expensive than international travel, you’re missing the point. The fact that it has been difficult to set up and use, combined with relative poor quality, outweighs any cost advantage.

When will video conferencing cut the mustard?

• When its ease of use approaches the level of the telephone.
• When its quality could pass for broadcast standards.
• When users don’t worry about the marginal cost of having a video meeting.

In-Vision addresses these issues in the following ways:

Ease of Use:

• In-Vision incorporates Video Dial Tone (tm) so you can use the service like a telephone.
• Our scheduling system can help you arrange a multi person meeting as easily as sending an email to individuals or groups.

Quality:

• With data transfer rates equivalent to up to 30 simultaneous ISDN channels, In-Vision can accommodate broadcast quality video.
• Together with our partners our solutions allow for continuous eye contact facilitating a superior degree of interaction.
