“There has been seen a significant shift towards desktop-based VC solutions in the market. The existing codec-based video conferencing solutions available in the market are mostly beyond the reach of SME/ SOHO segments, resulting into restricted usage and enterprise limitations while expanding their video conferencing infrastructure. This has led companies to seek an affordable, multi-purpose solution that allows broader reach to individuals outside of their network, interaction on a more personal level, sharing of PC desktop materials, and a more efficient way to conduct hands-on training for their needs and IT budgets, thus making desktop video conferencing even more significant,” said Dayal Hemrajani, Chairman & Managing Director, Enkay Technologies.

According to industry analysts, in the next five years, multi-party Web and video conferencing will emerge as a leading communications system, available on most desktops to use on-demand.
