and online meetings communication. Very quickly, younger generations began embracing the
technology to the point that today, video chat is fast approaching text
messaging as the go-to personal communication tool for Millennials.
So when those younger generations entered the workforce in recent years,
so too did their lifestyles, dramatically impacting how each of us work. In
particular, their preference for video communication has led to a rise in the
popularity of video meetings. A 2018 Forrester research report showed that
74% of IT decision makers said they saw an increase in video conference
calls in the prior two years.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”8110″ alignment=”right” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” img_link=”https://townerkc.com/cloud-communication-solutions/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][heading]

BENEFITS OF ONLINE MEETINGS

[/heading][vc_column_text]In many ways, video meetings have the potential to be even more productive than in-person meetings, with built-in capabilities for
file sharing, chat, and recording, among other features, that build a stronger experience before, during, and after each meeting. The
benefits of online meetings include:[/vc_column_text][text-with-icon icon_type=”font_icon” icon=”icon-road” color=”Accent-Color”]The ability to connect

CHALLENGES OF ONLINE MEETINGS

[/heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]The challenge for many workers today, however, is finding a video meeting solution that addresses the demands of the shifting workforce. With the consumerization of IT, workers demand more than traditional communications tools can deliver. In particular, they want high-quality HD audio and video meetings that feature a simple, intuitive user interface. They also need a meeting solution that works—fast. In the RingCentral survey, 39% of respondents said they wanted a single click to join online meetings, reflecting that current solutions require downloads that frequently cause delays for attendees, which significantly hampers productivity.
Just as importantly, workers today have expressed a strong preference to have their meeting solution integrated with their other key modes of communication, namely, messaging and phone. This consolidation of communication reflects the faster pace of work today and the need to both communicate and collaborate in real time across communication modes and devices, preferably with a single click. It also reflects the need to be able to switch communication modes on the fly—from
a chat to a phone call or a chat to an online meeting—with a single click, without losing context or momentum.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”8111″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” img_link=”http://dynamic.ziftsolutions.com/ringcentral.ziftsolutions.com/file/8a9982857449d9f901744afbea9041c9.pdf”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]It also reflects the need for workers to have a single platform that stores not only conversations and documents, but context—a powerful element of the new communications experience that makes online meetings part of a rolling conversation (across voice, chat, and meetings) that builds history and knowledge. As workers move from project to project at lightning speed, unified platforms for communication ultimately store a wealth of information around topics in
understandable and easy-to-search formats that allow team members to get up to speed much more quickly than ever before.

This sort of dexterity requires a cloud solution, which explains the rise of unified communications as a service (UCaaS) solutions in recent years. In an on-premises solution, maintaining the sophisticated integrations necessary to develop and innovate this seamless communications experience is simply too resource- and cost-intensive for modern organizations to support. It’s no wonder then that Synergy Research Group has predicted that UCaaS subscribers will grow by an average annual rate of 26% over the next five years, primarily driven by enterprise customers[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][heading subtitle=”MEET FASTER, WORK TOGETHER”]
