Asmark Institute Launches VIP Network
December 11, 2007 The Asmark Institute‘s new network upgrades meeting capabilities.
The Asmark Institute plans to provide a Videoconference Internet Protocol (VIP) Network to its affiliated state and national organizations. The VIP Network allows live video, audio, and data to be transmitted across the Internet, enabling participants from two different geographic locations to meet synchronously. It will help facilitate collaborative efforts between the agricultural inputs industry and governmental agencies, many of which are already equipped with videoconferencing technology.
"Two essential elements critical to the future success of our industry are collaboration and technology," says Allen Summers, president of the Asmark Institute. "Collaboration — or the sharing of talent, time, and resources — will continue to leverage the positive effects of all who effectively participate. The smart adoption of technology such as videoconferencing will be a powerful force in gaining new efficiencies and controlling costs in the future." For example, every three meetings held using videoconferencing instead of flying cross-country is equivalent to taking a car completely off the highway for an entire year.
Hardly new, government and large corporations have used videoconferencing since the late 1980s. Because of the standardization of network protocols and equipment requirements over the past 15 years, users can now transparently meet with a simplicity comparable to dialing a phone.
