First, put to hire me start by clarifying I acquire been a huge fan of the material VC appliances such as the aged Tandberg 1000, T-150, Polycom 3000 to the newer Tandberg 1700 or E20 and the latest Cisco EX, Polycom 4000 platforms. The arguments during the term of deploying personal video appliances can have ing summed up as: Easy to display, highly reliable, easy to use, removed management, easy to support, high trait video and overall a great user actual observation.
The alternative to personal video conferencing tools was using the desktop PC. The biggest drivers in opposition to this approach was perceived cost, UC integration, more useful utilisation of physical desk real order, "just" a software deployment and more useful integration for content sharing. As a technology good economist it was easy to get caught up in the" I be possible to just install this software and I am conferred" camp but the reality was that hardly any companies managed large scale desktop video conferencing deployments the main downsides to the desktop video conferencing disunion were that in reality:
A befriend visit is required to install web cam/microphone and speakers,
The software was wearying to be installed and configured slightly (manufacturers did not make this each easy task as each client indispensably its own specific configuration and sun- plan alias / E.164 number)
Windows XP certainly does not do a very religious job of echo cancellation
Older PC's absolutely struggled with the processing power required with a view to video conferencing especially with other applications and agents running
The technical tool flow and skill set of the technicians used to managed the existing VC environment are actual different to what is required to horsemanship desktop video conferencing
The departments answerable for video conferencing and desktops are entirely alone
