Monday, 08 March 2010 08:45 Throughout America’s justice system, agencies at all levels face ever-shrinking budgets, even as caseloads continue to rise. Yet inherent process inefficiencies – and an institutional reliance on in-person communication – make it difficult for administrators to trim expenses without sacrificing levels of service and security, or risking compromises in due process. As demands on agencies intensify, the traditional ways of doing business in person are growing too costly, too time-consuming, and too inefficient. And by doing nothing, managers risk lay-offs or painful (and often ineffective) reallocation of resources. In these times of tight budgets and shrinking tax revenues, a growing number of justice agencies are seizing the opportunity to apply proven technologies in ways that help them cut operational expenses and improve productivity – in short, do more with less. By making strategic use of today’s high-definition (HD) video communications systems, agencies from coast to coast are fulfilling their need to conduct business face-to-face, but without incurring the costs associated with appearing before judges, offering testimony, escorting prisoners, conducting or receiving training, or attending meetings. Agencies throughout the country report that video communications has helped them: - Process more cases
- Increase security and reduce risk to the public
- Expand staff expertise
- Reduce or eliminate overtime
- Improve prisoner re-integration success
- Ease visitation processes for families

| Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Video Conference Solution |
Monday, 1 March 2010 08:30 Video conferencing has become the new solution of choice for those who don't have the time or money to support their far-flung operations' travel demands. For a fraction of any expense or travel budget, video conferencing systems allow for organizations to get work done more productively and efficiently. However, this new-age video conference explosion has created a multitude of products to choose from, which makes it increasingly difficult for novices to navigate the maize of choices and end up with a video conferencing solution that is powerful, yet affordable enough to meet their communication needs today while offering the flexibility to respond to the challenges, changes, and opportunities of tomorrow. The following are questions you will want to ask when looking to purchase your next video conferencing solution: - Does the vendor you are looking to work with provide the "total" solution?
- If high definition is needed, does the technology deliver true HD capabilities?
- What is the cost-per-port of high definition?
- Is the technology designed to fit unobtrusively into any business setting?
- Does the technology integrate effectively with other brands and legacy equipment?
- Does the technology easily integrate with Microsoft/Lotus?
- Is the technology easy for anyone to operate?
