Collaboration Online A Top Tech Priority for 2010

Silicon.com runs an article via Business Week describing collaboration technology as a trend CFOs should consider more seriously in 2010. Why? According to Silicon.com and analysts from Ovum, the cost of physical meetings is increasingly difficult to justify; technology that cuts travel expenses and travel time via videoconferencing should be much more prominent by the end of the year as a result.

We at Mingleverse tend to agree and believe that a meeting of minds vs a meeting of bodies will become much more important. 'Being there' will have an entirely new meaning. Imagine the money and time that can be saved by meeting online, while having capabilities that are taken from the real life – 3D audio, life-like faces, video sharing, presentation sharing. On the Internet, it does not get much more personal than that.

Collaboration online is taking a notably faster pace these days. Other publication that focused this trend include The Nation, Fox Business and SearchITChannel.
