Cost Comparison of Web Conferencing

The two owners of Spinner Media Services Inc. wanted to cut travel costs and productivity losses (wasted time) and maintain the benefits of person-to-person collaboration. They decided to use Web conferencing internally for collaboration and externally for sales demonstrations to customers. Their options are per-user licensing plans based on the number of seats or participants. The decision would depend on cost comparisons based on these data estimates:

Approximately 100 meetings per year

An average of 12 participants per meeting

Each meeting lasting about one hour, which takes into consideration the need to get the meeting set up at least 15 minutes in advance and meeting for 45 minutes

250 unique participants, consisting of 50 employees and 200 customers.
