New trends in Video Conferencing

August 19th, 2008 | Posted by admin in Cell Phones | Computer | Technology - (0 Comments)

With so many sophisticated technologies being integrated into the video conferencing systems recently, it has become one of the most revolutionizing factors in today’s business communication system. Video conferencing is no more like we use to anticipate some couple of years back. It has come up to a great level rather much faster than we might have though of. Today, every big business organization depends on some big Video Conference Service providers like Polycom video conferencing services for their intra as well as inter organizational communication needs. Business organizations seem to be become a handicap without these services today. Say if all these services broke down suddenly, all the big business organizations will collapse to a great extent. Multi national companies have become so dependent to these services that they can’t afford to grow with he same rate as they are growing at present without them.

The general changes in the way business is conducted is forcing businesses to embrace a more mobile lifestyle, in which video conferencing is taking the major role. The outcome of this new embracement is quite profound. It has not only saved time and energy, but also the cost that will be wasted in travel when company officials and executives organize mutual meetings. Analytic reports show that multi-national companies which embrace video conferencing have seen their growth as high as three folds in an average. Above that, the technology is creating a new wave of opportunities among the people as well. They are providing quite a big deal of employment opportunities and earning potentials to the people who have got the right technical knowledge.

Today, we have extensive networks of users, content providers, and support teams that didn’t exist even 5 years ago. While the video conferencing technology is increasingly becoming more and more sophisticated, the end user devices are increasingly becoming easier to handle and to manage at the same time. Today, virtually anyone can handle the video conferencing devices. If you can use a TV remote control, you can use a video conferencing unit or a device. As simple as that! Video conferencing has indeed grown from a room size desktop-to-desktop system to an international corporate size system with multiple monitors and video control systems. And the video conferencing service providers are more than happy to adapt to the newest trends as well. So, altogether, business organizations and these service providers have indeed revolutionized the way business is done with technology.

Artificial Intelligence and the computers

August 14th, 2008 | Posted by admin in Computer | Hardware | Internet | Technology - (0 Comments)

Artificial Intelligence is the hot topic on many boards today. It is also the hot topic in many laboratories and software houses. The military is trying to harness it to replace humans, the game houses are trying to control it to make games more realistic and the appliance makers and homebuilders are trying to perfect it to make our lives easier. One of the great questions is, is artificial intelligence a good thing? It sure seems like it, doesn’t it?

Imagine coming home from a rough day at the office and your intelligent washer and dryer have not only washed and dried your clothes, but folded them as well. You meal is waiting for you but it was not prepared by human hands, instead your intelligent refrigerator has sent food to your oven which cooked it for you. You TV has turned itself on and switched to your favorite station so you might enjoy your meal with your favorite program. When you are done eating, the dishes are collected by a robotic machine and put into the dishwasher. An intelligent vacuum cleaner comes out and cleans the area where you were eating so that any crumbs that might have fallen were picked up immediately. You decide you want to talk to a few friends, so you tell your television that you want to make some phone calls and it connects you to several people at the same time creating a conference call, except you can see each person in a square on the TV. You talk for a while and then hang up. You feel like playing a game so you tell the TV and it replies,” Name of Game Please and Play Human or Me?” If you decide to play a human you are immediately connected to the internet, if not, you are about to play one of the toughest opponents, the computer which is integrated into your TV. Oh look here comes the dog, a dog you never have to feed. It is the Sony dog, a slick little robotic dog that acts much like a real dog. You play with it for a while, but you get the urge. Into the bathroom you go. The toilet will examine all your waste products and if anything is wrong it will contact your doctor right away. Now you decide to go to bed and enter a room where clouds sail over the ceiling. You lay down and a soothing voice asks “What time shall I wake you and what sounds would you like to hear?” You tell the voice (it really is part of the computer in your tv) to wake you at 7:00 am and to play ocean sounds for 10 minutes.

Does all this sound good? Much of the above exists already. As we create smarter and smarter devices are we getting near creating life? At what point does something become aware? Can a computer ever become so smart that it is a living being? Some people think that we are nothing more than organic computers that were programmed and offer our genes as proof. One of the problems that exist today is how to tell if something is truly alive. If we were to build the perfect robot that could interact with humans without being detected as a machine, would it be considered alive? Many would say yes and many would say no. The yes people would say that because the robot can make decisions on its own that are the equivalent of decisions that a human would make than it must be alive. The no people would argue that it is simply following a program created by man and it is a machine without a soul.

Predictive Dialing, Dialing for Dollars

August 11th, 2008 | Posted by admin in Business | Career | Computer | Technology - (0 Comments)

Call Centers didn’t have much variation or flexibility up until recently, they were brick and mortar facilities with aged, clunky technology and typically weren’t any more savvy than a home office telephone setup – just a multiple of them. With the onset of VOIP technology, companies have expanded options in establishing their contact center. For instance, it is now possible for a call center to be of the home-based variety, where callers may use a hosted web based solution on their computer and a headset in order to fulfill an organizations contact center needs.

Further, inbound and outbound options for maximizing call center agent efficiency have grown. Typically biggest roadblock for call center agent efficiency is Talk Time. Predictive Dialing has changed all that, ensuring agent productivity of up to 300%. Predictive dialing is the perfect technology to increase agent productivity by maximizing a teleworker’s “talk time”. It addresses the problems faced by TeleWorkers in handling outbound Telemarketing to consumers- low contact rates. Low contact rates are a waste of the payroll investment in your TeleWorkers, and also lead to agent boredom. Manual calling typically results in 15-20 minutes of talk time by the TeleWorker doing consumer calling because of no answers, busy signals, bad numbers, answering machines, and the time it takes to dial.

Predictive Dialing uses an algorithm which ‘predicts’ the answering sequence and therefore the agent talk time. With Predictive dialing, it is possible to increase this talk time by 45 to 48 minutes per hour. The technology works by creating an algorithm, a mathematical formula which is agent specific and job specific. For instance, on a particular job, it might take typically 5 minutes from the beginning to the close of the call for a particular agent. So, the system will dial a pre determined number of lines say four minutes and twenty seconds into this call, so there is a very high probability that within 5 seconds of finishing the first call a new call will be served up to the TeleWorker. The system begins to dial the next batch of calls with while the agent is still on the prior call in order to keep the talk time rolling. You can be certain your agents are maximizing outbound efficiency.

Between VOIP technology and the virtual call centers, which have sprung up to provide VOIP in a call center environment. Add to this the advancement of Predictive Dialing and the tools are in place for a tightly run telephony campaign whether inbound, outbound, sales, customer service, the list goes on and on.
