SKC Get Connected
 

It’s an exciting time to be in the conferencing and voice space. The main story line of the past few years was convergence, which focused on the operational efficiencies that result from running all of your company’s voice, video and data communication over one network. The economic events of this year have drawn attention to utilizing communication technologies to make today’s workforce more productive. SKC’s products and services do just that.

We have a series of training classes and webinars over the next 6 weeks that will help you understand the technologies & products available to take your company’s communications to the next level and enable your workforce to become more productive. Topics covered will include unified communications, streaming, videoconferencing and messaging. Go here to see the full list and get registered.

Specifically in the technology of videoconferencing, we have seen an explosion of interest over the last 6 months. If you haven’t experienced HD videoconferencing, please let us know and we’ll arrange a 30-day demo for you. The ROI on a properly installed and maintained videoconferencing system can be as little as 30 days. If you haven’t seen HD videoconferencing, you haven’t seen videoconferencing!

From all of us at SKC, we appreciate your business and look forward to working with you in the future.

Sincerely,
SKC Owners


PS - Don't forget to register for our next Video Training class, being held October 8-9 at our Kansas City headquarters. It will cover all you need to know about videoconferencing, and more importanly, it's FREE. There are only 8 seats left for this popular course, so sign up now!

Industry Trends: Digital Signage

Digital signage is popping up all over the place, and with good reason. It broadcasts and displays digital content in real time, with the purpose of informing or inciting changes in viewer behavior.

Whether you use it for your company’s employee communications or as a service for your customers, digital signage enables you to control your messages quickly and cost effectively.
