What is videoconferencing

Research by Synovate/Interview NSS at the end of 2007 revealed that Dutch employees spend on average almost 3.5 hours a week on meetings. The total cost of meetings in the Netherlands in salary costs alone is 60 billion euros each year: 30 billion for time spent in meetings, 16 billion for preparation time and 14 billion on travel time.

The conclusion that the way business is conducted in modern commercial and institutional organisations is characterised by the endless meetings that are held is therefore justified. Managers consult with managers, executives with workers, the board of directors with executive directors, sales with their contacts, etc. etc. Sharing the right information in an efficient and effective way has become a critical success factor for very many organisations. It is therefore highly important to pay the right attention to how meetings and consultations take place.

Many people travel great distances to talk with other people. New plans require a lot of consultation. An effective strategy can be outlined only by working with the partners involved. And that means sellers, scientists, technicians and other specialists travelling regularly by car, train or aeroplane. People fly half way round the world (literally) for meetings. Something that – if it's down to BIS – is forever in the past.

BIS advises on, implements and maintains professional videoconferencing systems that combine the speed of a telephone call with the undisputed power of the image. Modern communication equipment guarantees that you can meet with people on the other side of the Atlantic as well as in a different part of the same town with no lost time and no travel and accommodation costs. From your office and in your own environment! The quality of modern videoconferencing systems is so good that it's just as if the person you are speaking to is in the same room. Arranging an (international) meeting has never been so simple!
