The videoconferencing / telepresence market has shown remarkable resiliency over the years. While macro-economic factors can strongly influence business attitudes towards expansion, capital investment, and hiring policies, savvy managers in both good times and bad are always looking for ways to make their operations more efficient and to gain a competitive edge. Indeed, while videoconferencing has long been seen as a capital expense on one hand and a cost saver on the other, current thinking is more progressive because these tools are proving their mettle by enabling 1) faster decision making, 2) more inclusive teaming, 3) more intimate customer interactions, and 4) entirely new ways of doing business.
