Videoconferencing services, such as Virtual Presence, has been shown to offer significant time and cost savings to enterprises. Wainhouse Research, an independent market research firm focused on rich media communications, has found that if a firm with 250 employees across ten offices changes 40% of its travel meetings to videoconferencing, it can save more than $110,000 in year one. This translates to approximately 30 workdays per employee and achieves an ROI of 226% on the estimated yearly total cost of ownership.

Victoria Kemp, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing EMEA and APAC, at BCS Global said, "There is a need for organisations of all sizes to invest in ongoing employee education and training. For multi-site businesses, training has traditionally taken place in a single location with employees physically travelling to training venues. This can add to the cost of the training sessions - both in terms of time and money. The maturation of technologies, such as video conferencing, are opening new ways of training employees both nationally and globally."

As the only video conferencing solution provider at Learning Technologies, BCS Global will be showcasing how its Virtual Presence solution offers the ideal solution for corporate trainers to provide education and training, while balancing reach, time and costs.

The Virtual Presence video conferencing and collaboration solutions requires no extra investment in new equipment or network services and can host full presentations, one-on-one sessions or group working sessions easily and cost effectively. Companies can even conduct fully interactive whiteboard sessions or share and simultaneously edit Microsoft Office documents.
