What is Video Conferencing?
Video Conferencing is a collaborative communication tool which allows several individuals or groups to communicate in real time across distances using the data network to transfer packets containing audio and video. Video teleconferencing uses the voice network for this same purpose.
The centralized videoconferencing service offered by CIS is geared towards general meetings, presentations, interviews and/or project work sessions.
Video Conferencing Consultation
CIS offers several options for video conferencing. As part of this service, CIS will consult with you to determine which option will fit your needs. Once a solution has been proposed, CIS will provide a demonstration and basic training of the technology.
