A new research shows that the main reason companies are adopting desktop web conferencing solutions is that theyre looking for tools and ways to improve collaboration among their employees and increasing team productivity.
According to the latest InformationWeek Analytics Desktop Videoconferencing Survey collaboration was cited by 38% of the respondents as being the main reason behind their adoption of desktop web conferencing solutions followed by the reduction of travel costs with 31%.
The InformationWeek Analytics Desktop Videoconferencing Survey which tries to determine web and video conferencing adoption plans and strategies in Northern American enterprises found that 34% of the respondents have already deployed desktop web conferencing and 10% is looking forward to adopt it over the next twelve months.
The report also shows that the majority of the web conferencing solutions will be deployed using Windows PCs (96%), followed by iPads (39%) and Macs (34%).
Still desktop web conferencing adoption is still far from the numbers achieved by video conferencing solutions which is being used in meeting rooms of companies all across the country. According to the report video conferencing is being used or is planned to be use in the near future by 78% of the surveyed companies.
