Good Examples of Using IP/VC for Small Sites
Presuming that the bandwidth is there to properly support Cisco’s IP/VC solution,
there’s a nice way to use IP/VC at any small site, and that’s where we
mentor one another. Impromptu training sessions are a boon to productivity
when you can have a friend help you understand how something works, and
learning AVVID is no exception.The Comptroller at the head office could assist
the site financial advisor with new accounting procedures. Sometimes, simply
talking over the phone is not enough. Being able to look at and touch the
problem can more quickly solve it.
We all like to think we know our jobs well, and are good at what we do.This
author has experienced days of wisdom followed by nights of sheer terror, especially
when he’s had to train his replacement. I know others who have been in the
same position. Once, when I was promoted to a senior engineering position, I had
to interview and train my replacement before I could leave.The problem was I was

Thankfully, our company’s videoconferencing capabilities solved the problem.
Have you ever had to ask for driving directions to a location before getting
on the plane to fly there? Why not just whiteboard it on an impromptu IP/VC
session and get it right the first time.Too few people think outside the box when
it comes to uses for IP/VC, even though its uses are incredibly diverse. Before
chatting to someone over the phone about work issues, imagine what it might be
like, using IP/VC.
