Communications is the life-blood of business. Reuters reports that Cisco Systems, maker of "telepresence" and videoconferencing equipment, is saying that during the recent air travel disruptions in Europe (caused by the volcanic ash from a volcano in Iceland), the networking giant witnessed a huge spike in videoconferencing. Companies apparently substituted video meetings for the face-to-face variety.
Is video conferencing an important communications medium for your organization? If your organization is based or has offices in Europe, did you ramp up your videoconferencing activities during the air travel ban? And, even if you were unaffected by that incident, has the specter of such travel disruptions caused your organization to take a second look at videoconferencing?
