An epoch of videoconferencing only begins
According to researches of foreign analytics, an average statistical manager spends almost 3 years on an airplane, 2 years on the road to an airport and back, 23 months of waiting for the flight, 3 months of searching the place for the parking. And really, the business that is closely connected with often negotiations or meetings outside the city, demands particular tenacity and patience. Besides time expenses, companies used to spend huge budgets on journeys and the residence of their employees. In such cases an excellent opportunity to economize becomes spending money on videoconferencing. This is a new technology for Ukraine which enables the participants of conferences to see and hear each other, to share the data and jointly work on it.?
