VIDEO CONFERENCING & MSDP 55% of communication is nonverbal — namely tone of voice and body language. Many of these important details get lost everyday in e-mail exchanges or teleconferences. Face-to-face communication is more personal. It can build higher levels of trust, reduce confusion and make people more accountable.

In today’s work environment, communicating in person isn’t always possible. But video is the next best thing. Video conferencing is a powerful business tool that allows for natural communication even when people are miles, or continents, apart. MSDP may consider video conferencing a cost reduction tool; the typical user can reduce travel by 30% or more, resulting in significant cost savings. Given your mission statement: "MSDP exists to support, promote and enhance the quality of life for all d/Deaf, Deaf/Blind and Hard of Hearing people." We firmly believe that we can assist in realising this Cost is only one element of a video strategy that can also include • • •

increased productivity, environmental responsibility and work/life balance. Video conferencing affects the way that business is conducted across MSDP’s entire organization. With video, you can interview job candidates and manufacturers remotely, maintain meaningful relationships with tele-workers, get real-time feedback from researchers and conduct – and record - training sessions.

Helping you make decisions faster — inefficient communication wastes approximately $297 billion/yr in the US. Time spent travelling, waiting for materials or trying unsuccessfully to explain complex issues over e-mail is time that could be better used to bring new products to market or solve customer service issues. Video enables parties to share ideas, show detailed images and react quickly.

Providing immediate access to experts —there’s just no substitute for an expert. Video enables you to leverage the expertise of people across the organization without the need to travel to different locations. Training, translating, consulting and troubleshooting happen in real time. And, with video streaming and archiving solutions, an expert’s knowledge can be saved and accessed by anyone at any time. Bringing the organization together — multiple offices doesn’t have to mean isolated teams. After a global expansion, merger or outsourcing initiative, departments often find themselves disconnected from projects and a communal company culture. Video creates a virtual meeting room for collaboration; keeping everyone on the same page. Improving work/life balance — Travelling all day for a two-hour meeting means sacrificing family and personal time. Not to mention the added stress of delayed flights and lost luggage. By using video to attend that meeting — or even working from home instead of sitting in rush hour traffic — employees can maintain a balance between work and personal life, save costs and protect the environment.
