IBCT’s teleconference solutions use mobile devices and applications that operate on the basis of the Internet of Things as well as hardware already available in conference rooms, thus helping decrease investment in teleconferencing.
IBCT aims to provide teleconferencing services to all government agencies in Vietnam as part of the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities.
| Cho Ja Young, general director of IBCT, outlining the advantages of the company's teleconferencing solutions |
Teleconferencing helps save time and money, making it convenient for people to join conferences from different locations.
