ITSS Discontinuing Videoconferencing Service

Web View | Print View

by Nancy Ansaldo

In April 2005, a marketing questionnaire was sent out to all clients who used the ITSS Videoconference service over the past twelve months to gather input on the usage, technology requirements, and economics of maintaining the existing service profile. The results of that questionnaire indicated a strong preference for a desktop videoconference solution that could be conducted from an office computer over on-site videoconferencing.
