There is no questioning that digital tools have become an ubiquitous part of the contemporary workplace. They have evolved from mere conveniences to foundational elements of day-to-day business, tied together in an ecosystem of data \u2014 from payroll to collaboration software, and everything in between.<\/p>\n

These technologies have allowed us to spread out across geographies, becoming increasingly mobile, and flexible in our expectations of where and how work gets done. However, there are still times when real-time, person-to-person communications are necessary.<\/p>\n

Due to this reality, we\u2019ve seen the digital workplace and remote meetings move along a similar trajectory but with very different evolutions.<\/p>\n

In a recent white paper on Remote Meetings in the Digital Workplace<\/a>, we take a comparative look at the development of both over the last ten years. Where the digital workplace of a decade ago looks almost nothing like it\u2019s current counterpart, remote meetings have seen very little change at all.<\/p>\n

A decade ago, the digital workplace was a fledgling concept, whereas now it\u2019s filtered into almost every aspect of day-to-day business needs. In the paper, we look at how \u201c[t]he rise of the internet has led to a proliferation of cloud collaboration tools, some, of course, better than others,\u201d and how because of this, people are able to choose between numerous best-in-breed options and tailor their experience.<\/p>\n

Yet, in contrast, the landscape today for remote meetings looks not that far off from the previous ten years. Most still dial into \u201caudio-only conference calls\u201d while continuing to deal with any number of common frustrations: not knowing who\u2019s on the line or who\u2019s talking, distracting background noise, or wasting time trying to set up screen sharing.<\/p>\n

So, why is this?<\/h4>\n

Two elements play into how remote meetings have progressed: a one-size-fits-some approach and user adoption.<\/p>\n

As technology has developed, many communications tools come with a \u201claundry list of features\u201d that have been jammed into one product intended at its core to provide just one task \u2014 connecting two people in real-time because are unable to be in the same physical space. While these \u2018extras\u2019 can be of interest to the specialist users and trainers, they are often too bulky and cumbersome for the day-to-day user<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The majority of users, need only a foundational offering of quality capabilities that will perform well when then need them, how they need them. The rest they can do without. This is where the complication comes in.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all well and good if the tools in use have extra functions, but if you have to spend more than a minute downloading a labor-intensive plugin every time you are going to share your screen on a call \u2014 and you share your screen on almost every call \u2014 what good do those extra bells and whistles do you in the end?<\/p>\n

So our day-to-day users scrap the lofty-minded tool for something safer and less prone to embarrassing glitches or non-starters.<\/p>\n

Conference call\u00a0tools need to be built to meet the basic needs for getting important day-to-day business accomplished, easily. That is their primary function. Moreover, they need to do this in a reliable and intuitive way for the average business user.<\/p>\n

As remote meetings focus on these fundamental needs, and excel at them, we will see an evolutionary climb more on course with the digital workplace.<\/p>\n
