Tops 5 Reasons to Shift to a Cloud Video Conferencing Solution

A shift towards cloud-based technologies represents a significant digital transformation in the business world, especially when it comes to video conferencing. Cloud Video Conferencing eliminates the need for complex onsite hardware and installation, allowing enterprises to collaborate without boundaries. In today’s competitive markets, the benefits of a cloud-based video conferencing solutions make the switch a practical and efficient business decision.

Cloud video conferencing levels the playing field for businesses, even small to mid-sized companies. Not so long ago, the availability of cloud conferencing platforms was feasible only for businesses with financial and technical resources. Today, however, both SMEs and large enterprises can have access to the same level of audio-visual clarity, support and service. Our blog discusses top 5 reasons why you should consider shifting to a cloud video conferencing solution.

COST EFFECTIVENESS

Conduct a side-by-side comparison of any onsite solution against a cloud solution from video conferencing to data storage. Cloud-based solutions often take advantage of a shared multi-client server, allocate computing power depending on the need of the application, and consolidates security and other security and management activities easily. Instead of spending on VC hardware, software and in-house support, enterprises need only purchase the Cloud Video Solution-as-a-Service (SaaS).

Additionally, businesses can also lease hardware and only purchase the products they truly need from high-quality audio-visual suppliers. The cloud-based technologies enable companies to save more with on-demand scalability, built-in security and automatic service updates and much more.

FLEXIBLE HARDWARE

By switching to a cloud-based VC solution, companies can manage access control for a variety of end-user devices. Enterprises that support BYOD, multi-device access, and support offers incredible flexibility. Since cloud video conferencing solutions providers typically handle hardware integration and service maintenance activities, in-house IT departments can focus on other business-driving activities.

MOBILITY

Cloud video conferencing empowers employees with added mobility. Remote work, unplanned meetings and client interactions often represent logistical collaboration challenges. With cloud-based video conferencing services, employees can access a meeting from any location. If a dedicated conference room is unavailable, an employee can turn any space into a space for collaboration. Most of today’s Cloud VC solutions have full support for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops.

SIMPLE MANAGEMENT

While IT departments may continue to manage enterprise level audio-visual equipment, the cloud often eliminates troublesome interoperability challenges, security concerns, and maintenance-focused device downtime. Everything occurs remotely, and many solutions work fluidly with legacy collaboration systems. The cloud streamlines management from a technical perspective.

ENHANCED PRODUCTIVITY

To justify the investment in a cloud service, an MSP, or a hardware lease/purchase, businesses need to understand how a technology solution will drive business outcomes. Video conferencing supports face-to-face communication, which reduces the likelihood of miscommunication.
