Online video conference software is fast becoming a must have tool for any business and even many individuals. It brings great value to the table and continues to develop.

For a long time now group conferencing and meetings have played a large part in any company growth, direction and development. The smaller meetings are generally a group gathered into an office over a coffee with a whiteboard all the way up to the larger meetings which require a hired venue with many thousand attendees.

This is not always practical now, with the current economic climate. Companies really do need to drastically save money and cut costs where ever they can.

Online conferencing software is perfect for this. Instead of eating into a huge chunk of the companies budget, they can easily using online conferencing to cut their costs to an extreme minimal.

Technology is now so advanced that it allows us to come together online in a streamlined fashion for true global communication. Full way video conferencing streamed live from a server can deliver a very unique experience, giving everybody with an Internet connection the opportunity to take part.

So all this being said, how a company chooses the right package for them! After all, there are lots of things which can take place at a conventional meeting, and the number of attendees may grow over time. Not to mention the fact that everybody has different Internet connections, speeds, and operating systems.

Now you just need to work out how you decide on which solution is for you and your business. The pointers I listed above need to be looked at first to help you come up with a satisfying solution. I mean, imagine if your attendees are unable to connect to your meeting due to cross platform issues. This needs to be addressed early on.

So what I will do now is guide you carefully through some very important key factors you need to look at when choosing your software and provider. Obviously the key pointer is aimed at the budget, after all the whole purpose of this exercise is to cut costs in the first place. You need to find a provider who charges you per room and not per attendee, per attendee can become very costly indeed when you consider the fact some providers charge $15 per person.

Next you need to choose a conference provider which does not require you or your attendees to download. You need one which streams a conference room live from a high speed server. Doing this will eliminate cross compatibility issues with operating systems.

The two pointers I have addressed above are the two most important things you should look at when choosing your provider and video conferencing solution. Anything after this is literally functions, tools, and features which come with the package.
