Presence, Web Meeting and Video Conferencing
Presence is the capability of a person or device to communicate and display levels of ability. Presence awareness, a closely related concept, is the knowledge of that person or device’s presence. If someone can see another’s level of presence they can instantly know whether the person is available to communicate. The concept of presence is not a new idea. Instant Message clients and phone systems have had these features for years. Phone systems use busy lamp fields (BLF) to display whether someone is engaged in a call. Instant messaging (IM) clients use terms like busy or away to show the availability of users. A true presence solution converges all areas of communication to allow information to flow between telephones, IM clients, cell phones, and web clients in real time and with very little user interaction.
Many organizations continue to struggle with managing business expenses. Web Meeting and Video Conferencing solutions can help control those costs by reducing and sometimes eliminating the need for costly travel expenses. Web Meeting and Video Conferencing solutions include a software package that facilitates voice and visual communication, extensions into telephone systems, and in many cases camera and audio capture devices.
