ICT in Meetings

Videoconferencing
Benefits:
Allows organisations to hold meetings with employees from all different branches through the use of webcams and computers.
Videoconferencing can cut travel and accommodation costs.
Time is saved as staff do not need to give up working time for travelling
Disadvantages:
Technical issues e.g. communication problems may cost the organisation more money to fix
Hiring videoconferencing equipment is expensive

Power Points
Advantages:
Using a power point brightens an organisations presentation as they can incorporate images and sounds to keep employees attention from fading
Information can be displayed more clearly through power points
Disadvantages:
Computers with the power points may crash and the company might not have a back-up
a lot of power points could take up valuable space on computers

Projector
Advantages:
Enables people to see what they are hearing to allow them to visualise the information more
Can be cheaper and take up less time than creating power point presentations on computers
Disadvantages:
Could be time consuming to set the projector up
The image projected may not be good quality
