A video conferenceIf you run a business, the likelihood is that, every once in a while, after poring over your finances, you look at ways of saving money. You might look at how much you spend on your energy bills, whether you could cut jobs or persuade some of your employees to work part-time instead of full-time or even look at technology that can help to reduce your company’s outgoings.

Video conferencing is perfect for any company that wants to reduce its costs, but you may wonder how it can do that. If you regularly go to meetings away from the office, you’ll surely be aware of the expense involved. If you’re not spending a fortune in fuel costs, you’ll probably be paying for plane, train or coach tickets or even a taxi, and doing this all the time can really add up. By video conferencing, you eliminate all those travel costs.

You can invite anyone you want to a conference call, irrespective of where they are. You can talk to them for a very low price or even for free, plus you can do all things you can do in a normal meeting thanks to the visual element of video conferencing such as showing prototypes or graphs. It also allows for collaboration too, which sets it apart from other forms of communication.

A conferenceSaving time – this is another benefit that video conferencing can bring to your business. Meetings take a lot of time to get to, but by arranging a conference call in their place, you could save your business and employees hours at a time. This allows you to prepare for the meeting properly, while you can also get on with any other important tasks such as accounting.

Smartphones and tablets are a common sight, especially in the world of financial trading. Until recently, anyone who wanted to participate in financial spread betting, CFD trading or anything of a similar nature would have to be near a computer, but the availability of a mobile Trading Platform has changed all that.

City Index infographicThe fact that the most successful mobile trader has made over £2m according to this infographic shows that City Index Forex Trading and associated activities can be done without relying on a computer or laptop, but why is it the case?

It’s down to a number of factors. Many traders of Forex and other products find that they don’t have the time to do so in their day jobs, so they may have no choice but to engage in trading activity when they’re on the move or during their lunch break.

The sophistication of mobile trading apps and sites has improved significantly too. As well as allowing users to trade, these apps also provide up-to-date news on price movements and important financial stories relating to various markets.
