Applications of video conferencing for different industry sectors

Video Conferencing being used in a board room
Technology:
Business consultants, IT experts and telecommunication companies are deploying video conferencing across their organizations to increase communications, reduce travel time and enhance client relationships.
Business:
Video conferencing can enable individuals in faraway places to have meetings on short notice. Time and money that used to be spent in traveling can be used to have short meetings. Technology such as VOIP can be used in conjunction with desktop video conferencing to enable face-to-face business meetings without leaving the desktop, especially for businesses with wide-spread offices. The technology is also used for telecommuting, in which employees work from home.
Manufacturing:
By bringing project teams and experts together more often and at lower costs, companies are shortening production times and reducing time-to-market. Improved information flow and immediate feedback allows development teams to work faster.
Financial:
In the fast-paced world of banking and finance, up-to-the second information is critical. Analysts and brokers are meeting over video to discuss the latest news, its impact and the day's strategy. Video conferencing also makes it easier for branch offices to keep in touch with the organization and for private bankers to be readily available for their clients.
Legal:
Video conferencing is widely used in all areas of law and justice including client meetings, preliminary hearings, and trials by video. Lawyers are able to reduce travel time and increase billable hours, while courts, police and prisons use video conferencing to increase public safety and bring experts together.
Government:
Government agencies throughout the world are using video conferencing to speed decision-making, provide employees with increased access to experts and information and to provide real-time public safety responses.

Video conferencing is a very useful technology for telemedicine and telenursing applications, such as diagnosis, consulting, transmission of medical images, etc., in real time. Using VC, patients may contact nurses and physicians in emergency or routine situations, physicians and other paramedical professionals can discuss cases across large distances. Rural areas can use this technology for diagnostic purposes, thus saving lives and making more efficient use of health care money.

Video conferencing and Distance Learning represent the merging of technology and application in a most cost effective, beneficial and advantageous manner for today's learners regardless of age level, subject matter or constituency.
