Video Conferencing Buying Guide
There are different categories of video conferencing systems and "one size does not fit all."
Prior to your purchase, TANDBERG's Video Conferencing Guide helps you launch an internal audit that can help determine the best video conferencing solution for your goals.
The guide provides a checklist of questions to ask before you start your video conferencing vendor search, such as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
What kind of information do you exchange (product details, spreadsheets, multimedia, high security information)? |
|
• |
Would it be helpful to see and speak to colleagues either at their desk or at their home office? |
|
• |
Would you be communicating visually with suppliers, customers, partners, or anyone outside of your firewall? |
|
• |
How many sites do you want to be able to connect in one meeting? |
|
• |
How many people would participate in each type of meeting, in each location? |
|
• |
How many calls might be occurring simultaneously? |
|
• |
Do you require the true-to-life visual quality of High Definition Video Conferencing? |
|
• |
What bandwidth will be optimal for your communications? |
|
• |
Do you want a fully integrated system or a set-top solution where you can use an existing monitor? |
|
• |
Will you need to record or stream video calls such as CEO briefings or trainings, for those who were not in attendance? |
|
• |
How do you want to integrate video conferencing with your other communications tools (Instant Messaging, Scheduling applications, IP phones, 3G mobile phones, and existing video conferencing systems)? |
|
• |
How will you measure and report on your return on investment? |
|

The Video Conferencing Guide identifies the key characteristics to look for in a video conferencing vendor.
It helps you evaluate video conferencing solutions in terms of key decision factors such as image and audio quality, call reliability, ease of use, interoperability and integration, and long term return on investment.
It will also walk you through the choices for your video conferencing network (IP, ISDN, private networks, or a combination).
