New meeting models which are more and more instantaneous will emerge.
Online corporate meeting experiences will be transformed by a rich virtual
world.
"Let's assume that I am an Operations Manager who has just received a big
order and needs to check with suppliers if they have necessary resources to
execute the same." says Vibhu Ranjan. Presenting a typical business
scenario. "It would help me a great deal if I knew the exact presence of my
Production Manager and it would be best if I start this conversation over a
secure network.
As I am chatting and sharing information. I can swiftly escalate this IM
exchange into an AV call and simultaneously involve my sales people in the
discussion." But the optimism for these new meeting models would not be
able to circumvent the fact that these rich virtual world meeting
experiences will be largely dependent on bandwidth availability and IT
infrastructure of individual organizations.
