Cisco for Home? Skype for Business? Skype V. Cisco?

Wow. The last couple days have been full of news and it’s time to write about it!  Let’s take a look at some of the most interesting headlines for videoconferencing and discuss the implications: Skype, which keeps claiming to be a business conferencing tool but isn’t, hired Tony Bates to…

How to Present and Act in Virtual Meetings

Chat to Video in Sales

Lets say Susie is a sales rep and she’s meeting a customer in her office.  The customer asks a question that Susie doesn’t know the answer to, and she doesn’t know who to ask. Phone or video are not good choices here because Susie doesn’t know who to call.  A…

iPads, Kindles, Netflix, and Video Collaboration

Why do iPads do so well despite being underpowered as computers? Why does Netflix do so well regardless of only TV and movie media offerings? Why do Kindles do so well when all they do is display and annotate books? What these three things have in common is that they…
