Real-Time Collaboration Solutions Yield Major Efficiencies

By Rick Marciniak
October 30, 2006

Real-time collaboration (RTC) has advanced to a point where its advantages bring benefits to almost every aspect of organizational communications. For law firms, RTC makes possible new ways of working that are simple to adopt, easy to afford, require little or no CapEx and, in most cases, utilize existing computer and peripheral equipment. RTC can bring together employees, clients, trainers and others in ways that save time and overcome distance, thereby delivering measurable competitive advantage.

What is RTC?

In a nutshell, RTC is audio, video and Web conferencing ' all in one, online, all the time. RTC eliminates such inefficiencies as:

  • Watching PowerPoint slides on a computer while juggling a phone handset to hear a presenter on a long-distance conference call that costs extra at each endpoint;
  • Assembling meeting participants in a video-equipped conference room to look at tiny faces on a big screen; and
  • Waiting for IT help to get a conference going.

Voice, video and data can instead all be integrated and delivered to regular PCs and laptops over broadband Internet (or other IP).
