Many corporations and governments are turning to video communication for a number of reasons; the most obvious of which is to increase productivity. Video communication systems - both conference room and business personal systems - can close the communication gap between businesspeople who are separated by distance. With modern video communication systems, a "face-to-face" meeting can be held as easily as a phone call is made. And with business personal systems, telecommuters can be closer to their parent company.
With advances in technology and the push for globalization, distance learning is becoming more widespread than ever before. Video communication can play a role in all forms of education. Students can communicate with their peers around the world for cultural exchange and internationalization. In higher education, courses offered at a main campus can not only be shared with satellite campuses and remote learning facilities, providing interactive education in real time, but they can also be streamed over a network so that remote students with Web access can view the lectures as well. This also allows eminent professors to reach larger audiences and can increase school notoriety and enrollment. In addition, video communication can play a vital role in improving communication among administrators, professors, staff, and students.
Medical advances have changed the way doctors treat patients. Likewise, advances in communication have changed the way doctors share information. Video communication is now becoming a powerful medical teaching tool, allowing doctors to share medical and surgical procedures with colleagues and medical students around the world. Not only can video communication systems be used for "face-to-face" communication among colleagues, it can be used to broadcast medical lectures and live images of operational procedures.
Broadcasters are finding video communication systems to be powerful and reasonably priced tools for providing their viewers instantaneous live interviews with people around the world. They can connect to remote locations using a video communication system and simply feed the audio and video from the system to a switcher to be broadcast in real time.
Due to increased courtroom and travel costs and in response to security risks associated with prison systems, video communication is becoming an alternative method of communicating in the judicial system. Video communication systems can provide a lower-cost and safer method of visual communication among courtrooms, prisons, hospitals, and more locations, for anything from video arraignments, virtual courtroom appearances for witnesses, psychiatric evaluations, expert witness testimony, and the like.
Video communication is finding a role in bringing customers closer to financial institutions. In modern banking, for example, a customer can access an ATM system and instantly be connected to a call center representative, who can provide real-time live information, including assistance, account details, and financial advice.
