Web Conferencing in Government

As a government agency, using web conferencing is an intelligent way to not only reduce travel costs and effect budget concerns, but also a way to be more efficient with district responsibilities.
 

Utilization of video-conferencing, and online meetings with document and desktop sharing allows you to reach out and interact with people at distant locations without incurring travel costs, but maybe even more importantly, without losing travel time. It also allows you to interact with several locations at once, eliminating redundancy.

When choosing a service for your web conferencing needs, it is always necessary to take current legislation in account. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires that whatever solution you choose to implement must meet accessibility guidelines. While there are other systems that claim to be accessible, and possibly may even meet the guideline, Talking Communities is the only one that considers accessibility one of its driving forces. No where will you find anything that is as easy or as efficient at implementing usability for all disabled participants.

But our mission of inclusion does not stop at disabled users. By focusing on including as many as possible into this technology, it opens avenues for users that others systems tend to ignore, including accessing through a Mac or from a cell phone. We are constantly striving to make sure that whether those using the systems are on a Gigabyte network behind strict firewalls, or accessing with dial-up from a small mom and pop shop in rural Illinois, they will be able to use the technology.

So when choosing your Talking Communities product, remember that we will work with you to make sure that the technology works for you, seamlessly, and efficiently to achieve the greatest results at the least possible negative impact.
