RHUB Remote Access Appliance Provides the Security

Collaboration is the keyword in the success of any enterprise that works in terms of small groups of highly resourceful individuals. In case of small and medium enterprises collaboration is even more important as these enterprises generally have various resource constraints.

Small and medium enterprises generally require intra-group and inter- group collaborations. Such collaborations are necessarily woven around the concept of web conferencing that enables collaborations at micro, meso and macro levels and bridges spatial and temporal differences.

One of the latest state-of-the-art tools that enable organization wide web conferencing is TurboMeeting 500. It ensures secure collaboration and a reliable connectivity. TurboMeeting 500 supports a maximum capacity of 20 meeting rooms with up to 100 concurrent users. However the default capacity has been set at 5 meeting rooms and 20 concurrent users. View-only without download feature, chat and file transfer facility makes TurboMeeting-500 ideally suitable for web conferencing needs of small and medium size organizations.

It supports 10/100MB Ethernet networks and involves an installation procedure that is a breeze. With 9”x6”x1.4” dimensions and 2.4 lbs weight it is quite compact too.

With TurboMeeting-500, several teams at different locations can interact in instantaneous net meetings without any constraint on downloads or for that matter on any security issue and thereby produce a synergy that is the hallmark of resourceful collaboration.

As virtual meetings become a norm rather than a novelty, organizations are trying to visualize situations whereby management can form effective mechanisms for fruitful online conference. A close look at successful meeting has thrown light on the primary importance of the initiator in getting the semantics right for web meetings.

To begin with the initiator of the meeting should diligently communicate the purpose of meeting in the beginning and also his identity. Once the meeting commences the initiator must allow the others to give their opinions and should also encourage them to speak up. The task of noting down the key points in the meeting should be handled by someone other than the initiator of the net meeting. Full attention must be paid at the time of the meeting, cell phones should be switched off and multitasking should be avoided. It is necessary that the initiator and participants speak clearly and to the point to avoid miscommunication.

The past shortcomings of web meetings, like cross platform issues, budget issues on tools and processes, etc have reduced. With on the availability of on premise appliances like Turbomeeting-200 removing the need of downloads, net meetings are becoming increasing more productive.
