Video conferencing stands out amongst many of today's collaboration tools as it offers users the ability to increase their productivity while still conducting important communications.
As technology advances, early video conferencing, with sessions that were not so great in the opinion of many business executives, has moved into new heights thanks to technology like telepresence and HD.
HD video conferencing and telepresence enable separate teams to collaborate easily and have necessary face-to-face communications that are live, and life-life, to solve problems and speed collaboration efforts.
For a closer look at the technology, Casey King (News - Alert) CTO of LifeSize, an HD video conferencing solutions provider, and other guest panelists will take part in a session at the upcoming INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO East 2008, January 23-25, 2008 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, Florida.
