Subscription-based video: As more organisations realise the value which stronger communication and alignment brings to business, the implementation of video technologies will continue to rise. Already, the traditional conference room has been complemented – or at times, replaced – with video services via desktop, mobile and tablet devices, and in the cloud in response to an increasing remote workforce. Some organisations prefer flexible technology deployments and a pay-as-you-go model to scale up as needs evolve and change; for example adding video conferencing capacity to a site where it is most required by instantly expanding software licenses. This thereby eliminates time delays associated with customs implications and extra shipping costs. This is not just a matter of economies of scale, software video solutions now give you the option of pure cloud-based delivery or on-premise subscription. Utilising existing data centre hardware and IT infrastructure can also reduce the cost of ownership. For now and in the future, the availability of software-based video services on a subscription basis will add to the mix of visual collaboration methods.

 ‘Supermobility’: Mobile technology has revolutionised our lives and how we communicate. The advent of smartphones and tablet devices has placed the access and dissemination of information at our fingertips.  Mobile devices have been evolving from being simple, ‘fit in your pocket’ communication implements to becoming enterprise tools that are larger in screen size, capacity, and capability. And so we will continue to see the rise of ‘supermobility’ – where mobile devices are designed and equipped with all the tools and technology required for productive teamwork and collaboration on-the-go, such as multi-party video conferencing, content-sharing, and integration within an organisation’s existing IT infrastructure. In fact, research has revealed that 1.3 billion people will work remotely using mobile technology by 2015 . Supermobility will therefore become the standard for millennials, BYOD policies, and the future workplace.
