Benefits
-
Conference calls can bring together people in remote locations. This reduces the expenses associated with bringing people together in one location, such as the cost of travel and the loss of productivity because of downtime.
Significance
-
As companies become more global in scope, conference calling can facilitate the communication process. For example, a U.S. company that opens a new facility in Japan can use conference calling to bring together parties at both locations without the need to travel back and forth.
-
Considerations
-
Conference calling allows expanding businesses to make a presentation to several prospective clients at one time instead of visiting each one individually. By using video conferencing, the business can introduce a visual element to enhance the presentation.
Drawbacks
-
Potential drawbacks to conference calling include the lack of the "personal touch" associated with face-to-face communication. There may also be a tendency to lose focus because attendees are not seen by others.
