Oakton adopts video conferencing in some branches

12.04.2011

O'Brien said the rollout process took six weeks to complete across its five offices, and has already been successful financially.

"Instead of flying someone interstate for an hour long meeting, we can now have a meeting that's more productive than a phone call," he said. "The ROI I would say for what we purchased was about 12 months but we're now looking at extending the capability of what we've purchased.

"There's a focus on increasing the connectivity of our staff down to the level of social networking tools and enhancing our video conferencing capabilities."

Meetings amongst its wide-spread workforce have become more productive at Oakton, as a result of video conferencing's real-time capability.
