Summary
Meetings are an important part of most businesses. They are expensive, particularly if participants travel to the meeting.
Electronic support allows remote attendence, monitored participation, and recorded discussions and decisions.
The war room or command center is a room designed to facilitate decision making. A wall display presents relevant information. Participants may be connected with voice loops
Publish and subscribe automatically distributes information to interested parties. Presence systems keep track of participants location and status. Electronic voting and collaboration systems assist with reaching consensus. (cbb 3/07)
