Ekiga

Desktop conferencing software such as Ekiga is perfectly suitable for                      businesses with multiple locations or international contacts. After all: no travelling time, no complicated planning of appointments, yet a faster result.

No eye contact with Ekiga
Ekiga has one disadvantage in regard to online meetings: you have no eye contact. Ekiga does indeed make use of a webcam. And every webcam user recognises it: you always look past each other because you are looking at the monitor and not into the webcam. It is only a detail but this detail is of                  essential importance.

The necessity of eye contact
Regular eye contact gives the feeling of being united with the person you are talking to. That creates trust and avoids misunderstandings. In the western culture people are quick to think that some one who avoids eye contact has something to hide. That is considered to be untrustworthy.

Ekiga + IRIS = online eye contact
By combining Ekiga with IRIS you will always have eye contact with your online conversation partner. A relative cheap solution which will considerably improve the quality of your online discussions.

A remote product presentation, the first round of recruitment interviews or showing something to some one a few hundred kilometres away? We would be happy to tell you more about the advantages of IRIS in combination with Ekiga.
