Don’t know about you, but I often feel like I’m drowning in a sea of
digitally communicated words! Texts, emails, IMs and the like seem to
have taken the place of actual conversations. Not only do our personal
lives suffer from this, our workplace has transformed into a place where
we constantly need to deal with the data driven craze– as the
inundation of electronically transmitted words — information, questions,
issues all needing to be responded to ASAP – never seem to end.
But the workplace still appreciates and values face-to-face
communications. Don’t you agree? Even more importantly, many
organizations require face-to-face meetings with fellow colleagues
occasionally, if not all the time. The benefits of face-to-face meetings
stretch beyond making decisions on the fly, it also helps people adjust to
emotional cues and allows for a better sense of team and relationship
building for ultimately better business productivity.
Video conferencing in the workplace:
 brings people together via face-to-face communications and nurtures a collaborative effort.
 ignites a collaborative culture where people and teams can feel comfortable visually sharing
plans and exchanging ideas.
 fosters team and relationship building by encouraging individuals to visually share their vibrant
personalities.
 resolves problems quicker and builds strong team chemistry.
There are a myriad of reasons why slowly, but surely, face-to-face communications is making a huge
comeback. And no, we’re not talking about having to be physically present in order to have these
great conversations. More and more businesses are turning to high quality visual collaboration and
communications via the Internet, 4G and other easily accessed networks, without having to spend a
lot of money on equipment and infrastructure – and Vidyo is leading this revolution in terms of
technological excellence and affordability.
A rapidly growing number of companies and organizations are already realizing the many benefits of
Vidyo’s solution. Take KaBOOM! for example, a national nonprofit that envisions a great place to play
within walking distance of every child—serving over 6.5 million children, engaging with over 1 million
volunteers and have successfully built or improved over 15 thousand playgrounds in America.

Worldwide personnel to be able to instantly, clearly and affordably communicate and collaborate

world of difference.
