Overall IT spending and deployment of enterprise communications technologies face considerable headwinds from the credit crisis and recession fears that continue to challenge the market. While videoconferencing vendors have in the recent past enjoyed robust growth resulting from increased awareness and adoption of video, there are legitimate questions surrounding the growth prospects for videoconferencing during a slowing economy.

As organizations look at ways to survive during the recession, cost control is becoming top of mind. Will videoconferencing ride the economic storm and continue to benefit from increased travel cuts, rising globalization, and the business need for improving productivity?

Join Frost & Sullivan Principal Analyst Roopam Jain for an extensive analysis of the videoconferencing market, followed by a live question and answer session. This briefing will benefit strategic planners, business development managers, marketing executives, and channel partners active in the videoconferencing and enterprise communications market. Highlights of the briefing include an analysis of current trends and market sizing, as well as growth opportunities in the videoconferencing systems market.

"The videoconferencing market is in the midst of a massive transition as new products and delivery modes continue to emerge, and as vendors realign their strategies to tap into emerging growth opportunities," observes Jain. "While the economic crisis and an increasing emphasis on a greener environment are promoting videoconferencing as a viable alternative, there are compelling questions surrounding the growth and adoption over the next few years as the market faces big hurdles."
