9 Reasons WhyVideo Collaboration is

Better in the CloudIn 2013 Canadian organizations consumed more than $1.3 billion worth of cloud services, and the $3 billion mark is expected to be crossed by 2017.

So why move to the cloud?

There’re 9 reasons you need to know to understand why a cloud solution is better for your video collaboration.  

The cloud enables you to do more with less in an era of diminishing budget. Video collaboration in the cloud eliminates the upfront investment in costly equipment making video more affordable.

1. The Cloud

Cuts Costs

With “pay-as-you-go” subscription models, cloud-based solutions can make it easy to get into video collaboration without the large capital investment needed for on-premise solutions.

2. The Cloud Enables

CapabilityIn the cloud, organizations of all shapes and sizes can leverage the value of video collaboration.

A Forbes report based on a survey of business executives shows that the size of company has no consistent bearing on the degree of adoption.

In other words, it doesn’t matter if you’re big or small, you can get all of the benefits of video collaboration.

3. The Cloud improvesScalability & FlexibilityA pure cloud solution brings a large range of flexibility in terms of scaling up and scaling down to achieve “fit-for-purpose IT”.

This means that you don’t need a crystal ball to know what your usage will look like in the future. Simply scale up or scale down as needed. Economies of

Scale

4. The Cloud enables

Pervasive Adoption Cloud-based video

collaboration solutions are easy to use and have a greater reach than most on-premise solutions.

This translates into greater adoption because the technology is more accessible, useful and results in a better experience for everyone.

5. The Cloud enables you toWork From Anywhere

Cloud-based applications on

desktops and mobile devices allow

users to collaborate with their

teams from anywhere as long as

they have internet access.

One in five people work from home

in the US, and the number is

expected to grow by 60% in the next

five years.

With cloud-based solutions, you can streamline the design, development, delivery and management of your enterprise applications.

Even large deployments can be implemented in a number of days rather than weeks or months for on-premise solutions.

6. A Cloud Solution has

Faster Deployment

7. A Cloud Solution Enhances

SecurityThe security of a cloud-based video collaboration security is often more extensive and rigorous than for on-premise solutions.

Cloud solution providers are able to devote the time and resources to keeping security relevant and up to date that individual companies cannot.

8. A Cloud Solution

Sets Free Your IT The cloud enables video collaboration to be

delivered as a service, which can help

organizations operate more easily.

With the popularity of the service models

such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and

Software as a Service (SaaS), the cloud can

provide with services in either infrastructure

integration or applications installation,

without bugging your organizations’ IT or

even if you don’t own IT.

9. The Cloud boosts

Connections Video conferencing interoperability is an issue when there are multiple vendors and different video systems or endpoints to choose from.

A cloud-based solution eliminates the complexity of incompatible systems and creates a neutral zone where anyone can connect anywhere, anytime.

Telemerge offers all-in-one video collaboration that is easy to use for everyone, anywhere, at any time. Regardless of the endpoint, people can connect via the cloud without the need for expensive video conferencing infrastructure , complicated configurations, or test runs. Communication at it’s simplest, where and when you need it.
