According to new research from Aberdeen Group, video collaboration, which includes telepresence and video conferencing and communication, has deep value for business. In its report, called “Enterprise Video Collaboration: The ROI of Video in Sales, Product Development, and Project Management,” 54 percent of employees used video collaboration in the past year.
What’s more, the 66 percent of respondents who tracked their ROI using the solution realized a 94 percent ROI, Aberdeen said. Video collaboration also accounted for a 42 percent reduction in travel time, according to the research.
These were among the findings of the top 20 percent of respondents, who achieved “Best in Class” Performance levels, Aberdeen said. The firms that found success with video collaboration used a variety of telepresence and video conferencing solutions to achieve their goals, Hyoun Park, a research analyst in telecom and unified communications division for Aberdeen and author of the report, told TMCnet in an interview.
