Video Conferencing as a Service
In the "As a Service" model, Auralink is a subscription-based web service. Users login to the Auralink Portal, locate and/or invite other subscribers, and hold virtual meetings. It is that easy. Travel time is replaced by productive face-to-face meeting time, and the need to go to an expensive video conferencing room is eliminated. Progress is good.
Auralink vs. Traditional Video Conferencing
Traditional video conferencing is not a trivial affair. First, you will need a conferencing space, which you will have to fill with video conferencing technology. These conferences are typically placed over proprietary networks, requiring their own set of gear. Of course, that is for one room - you will probably need another to allow your organization to conference between locations. Conferencing with other organizations is a process centered on configuration changes and placing test calls to ensure the scheduled call is successful. All the gear and work required effects your bottom line heavily, and that is best case scenario. Service contracts will help stave off the costs of equipment failure, but little more.
Auralink alleviates the need for a conferencing space, costly video conferencing and networking technology (with a three to five year refresh cycle), and all the labor and headaches associates with a video conferencing infrastructure. With Auralink, your users can video conference with any other Auralink user, right from their desktop - or their laptop should they be out of the office. Users can also communicate with existing room-based video conferencing systems, which further leverages the investment your organization may have already made, or require.
Auralink also stacks up well in comparison to other desktop video conferencing solutions available. If you have questions about the particulars of comparison, the Auralink Team is here to help.
