Many of them like the sound of the technology but want to try the solution before they invest in a full blown VC system. You can do a search for video conferencing on google or live and the results can be staggering to say the least. So if you are one of those who may be wishing to get their toes wet with a video conferecing solution, pay close attention, try Skype, its free!!!!

What is Skype?
Skype is internet communications. Skype is software that lets you use your computer and internet connection to communicate with anyone, anywhere in the world.

Free calls and video calls
When you and the person you’re calling are both on Skype, the calls are free. Oh, and video calls are free too.

Technology Assessment: Why should my company have one?

Why do we need a Small Business Technology Assessment?

slsassesment_sm.jpgAsk yourself these questions:

  • Are you comfortable with your current technology investments and are they in line with your business goals and strategic objectives?
  • Does your current technology deliver clear bottom-line benefits for your company?
  • Are you confident that you can build a business case to evaluate new technology and deploy it in your business?
  • Are the benefits of IT in your business easily quantifiable when compared to cost?

If you have any doubts relating to the above questions, then Empower Information Systems can be of service to your organization.
