We can just focus on getting things done.

A hosted webconferencing provider is good for when you are looking to have no maintenance and really have a company that will offer full training and support for you every step of the way. At a number of packages starting under $100 dollars, it really is the best way to go for most SMB.

Take a look at http://www.ganconference.com for more information

With less than $1,000, you can own your own web conferencing together with remote support, remote access and seminar applications, which make it perfect for web workers. No IT maintanance is needed. It works just like your Linksys router. You can customize it to what you need. For example, instead of directing your attendees to the GotoMeeting website at the end of a meeting, the appliance can direct the attendees to your own web page. Values like this is not available from service providers.

Best of all, it is cost saving. RHUB TurboMeeting-200 can be well paid back in between 3 and 5 motnhs compared to monthly subscription.

Other on-premise solutions you may consider are Bomgar for remote support and Linktivity for web conferencing. Bomgar costs about 10 times of RHUB appliance and only work for remote support. If you have no problem to set up software, Linktivty can be a choice.

If you look for open source solutions, VNC and Dimdim can be considered.

HR departments in large corporations could really change things for the better if they spent some time experimenting with different forms of working conditions. Combine that with new technology, and you could be really ahead of competition cost-wise (even if only that).
