What Technology is Right for You?

Identifying the correct technology to conduct your meeting or presentation can be the most

difficult part in ensuring that it is the most effective solution for your organization. There are

several on-line technologies that are available to make sure your meeting or presentation

is successful.

Several factors should be taken into consideration while identifying the proper technologies for your meetings and presentations. The following is a list to determine which combination of technologies should be used.

1) Logistics. Does each participant have access to the tool or tools needed to conduct meetings and presentations?

3) Feedback or reporting. Do you want to know who is attending your meeting and information

on those who are attending?
