 Videoconferencing has always been hardware-intensive, but Cloud and virtualization could change that. This session examines this software video scenario – how real is it, and what are the implications for buyers and sellers. Among the issues to be addressed are:
* What does it mean to have a “software based videoconferencing solution” – what changes on the buyers’ side and the sellers’?
* Can videoconferencing really be a cloud-based solution?
* How does “video-as-a-software-business” change the economics – for both buyers and sellers?
* What are the risks for customers, equipment vendors, and service providers?
* What should a buyer be doing today or in preparing an RFP?
