Web conferencing tool search -- tips for selecting the best solution for your needs

January 5, 2006
By:  Bob Whitehead

Whether you are just starting out in your search for a web conferencing tool or it's a decision you've been researching for some time, you can benefit from the knowledge of an expert. You'll want more than just information from the online meeting tools themselves -- you need the advice of someone who knows the field and who has experience.

Robin Good is a noted expert in web conferencing and offers numerous tips for selecting the right one from all the web conferencing tools out there. He offers Twelve Commandments in a Kolabora.com article entitled "How To Select Your Web Conferencing Tool" that demonstrates his deep knowledge of the online meeting world and his commitment to helping consumers like you find Internet conferencing tools that make life better -- not more complicated.

What are these commandments? The underlying message behind all of them is to know what you need. When you can answer questions about what you are using online conferencing for, how many people you plan to be meeting with, if you need a solution that supports both PC and Mac users, and what type of collaboration tools you need, you become a more informed consumer.

Being more informed means you're armed against claims that don't stack up and won't be easily seduced by a web meeting solution that offers a multitude of slick features that you don't really need.

What do you need? Robin Good doesn't shy away from recommending specific features: Voice over IP conferencing, file sharing tools, instant messaging, and comprehensive customer support. The most important tip of all, though, might be avoiding a meeting tool that you cannot try for yourself, outside of an arranged supervised demo, and for a free trial period alone without the company representative looking over your shoulder.

Following these tips can help you save time and money. When you research what the experts are saying, it makes selecting an online meeting tool much easier.
