WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAVE TIME
AND MONEY?
Videoconferencing
is the most efficient communication tool in
today's global economy. Not only does it contain
travel expenses; it also cuts down on the cost
of non-productive time associated with it, offering
an equally effective solution to your company's
communications needs.
WORLDWIDE
VIDEOCONFERENCING
offers videoconferencing services, public videoconferencing
room rental and system hardware sales, and service.
The company was established in 1989 as a branch
of H. Allen Benowitz Court Reporting in response
to requests for an economic alternative to attend
out-of-town depositions and meetings without
leaving town. Located in Miami with a staff
of 30 people, the firm specializes in legal,
corporate and medical videoconferencing and
represents VTEL, Sony, PictureTel, Tandberg,
and Polycom for businesses setting up their
own facilities. Our current list of clients
includes Holland & Knight, Amedex/USA Medical
Services, Citicorp, J. Walter Thompson, PriceWaterhouse/Coopers,
HEICO, Wilson Elser & Moskowitz, Payton &
Carlson, Christian Dior and Procter & Gamble.
Videoconferencing
can mean substantial savings to your organization.

travel cost for a three-hour conference or meeting
