Video conferencing technology has been around for a while but the past year has made it the forefront for workplace connectivity since “the workplace” is now multiple places!
Remote working has been growing in popularity for over a decade but is now basically ubiquitous for any office-based organization. Whether it’s routine or ad-hoc virtual meetings, larger virtual events like conferences, or webcasting for training or presentation purposes… you need reliable technology and platforms that meet your needs. When it comes to the solution sets we design for our clients, there are a couple of different factors we know are very important!
- User experience matters
The best virtual option is likely the one that’s most convenient and easy to use for your audience. The preferred apps and virtual meeting tools allow users to just tap or click to connect! You also want feature sets that allow for different types of interactivity but with clean and simple-to-navigate interfaces. User experience is obviously an important part of the technology we use here at Baldwin but don’t forget about the role of content in terms of user experience too!
- Productivity tools and integrations
Depending on whether you’re hosting a smaller virtual meeting or a virtual conference attended by many, you’ll want to use tools that keep people engaged, collect feedback, and make them as productive as possible. Unproductive meetings obviously eat up time which (as we all know) means money. Whether it’s having an integrated agenda, collaborative whiteboard, polls, quizzes, even word cloud outputs, there are tools (like Mentimeter and Slido) that can help expedite things allowing your audience to stay engaged, clarify important elements, and strengthen relationships!
- Enhanced security and privacy
Privacy and security are very important… obviously! Your organization doesn’t have to reside in legal or health sectors to value these aspects, you want your virtual event and data to be protected. We only use and endorse platforms that meet our rigorous standards for security, encryption, and other privacy protocols. All the technical acronyms aside, the important point is that we make sure your virtual event is accessible to those you want it to be.
At Baldwin Audio/Visual Solutions, we have years of experience with different virtual event formats and platforms to get you outfitted with a solution that meets your particular needs. We can also help you leverage collaboration tools, networking, and online registration capabilities saving you time and money.
