Professional Web Conferencing

Web conferencing can increase important communication through immediate association, document sharing, video sharing and presentations to large audiences with the help of slide shows. Two or more individuals can conduct a meeting over the Internet using this technology. Common applications of professional web conferencing include software demonstrations, product launches, marketing seminars, sales presentations, employee orientation and training, staff meetings, human resource broadcasts, product launches, new product training, shareholder meetings and distance learning.

Basically, anyone can conduct a professional web conference -- all that is needed is a computer with a Java-enabled browser, a phone and an Internet connection of 56 kbps minimum. It helps people to stream audio/video, use web-based chat technology, share documents or use Voice over IP (VoIP). Web-casting is a type of web conferencing where a live event is recorded and streamed over the Internet, or archived for viewing after some time.

Professional web conferencing software may be purchased from a reseller. One can also work with a full service vendor, who will provide the software as well as the planning, marketing and production of a specific event. This helps to execute the process effectively.
