My name is Andrew Zobava and I am going to compare and contrast two different online meeting sources to determine which one would be most appropriate for a company known as Waking Up Inc.

Waking Up Inc. is a collaborative company that specializes in life coaching. As an organization looking for a more efficient way to meet and discuss pertinent. They currently meet on a weekly basis which they have decided is an inefficient use of time. The company would like to identify a trusted and reliable online meeting platform to maximize the time of individuals and the company over all. This wall will compare perspective options and determine the best choice.

The diagram below shows the analysis of changing to an online meeting platform. The need to change out weighs the benefits of staying with face to face meetings. The criteria for switching to online includes accessibility for all employees, low cost for the company and preservation of positive company culture.

The two online meeting platforms I have chosen are Skype and Facebook. Skype is a virtual meeting platform that includes text, voice and video options. Facebook is a social networking site that offers private messaging and a group feature that allows individuals to share private content.

After evaluating both options, Skype appears to be the best choice. As the company begins to use it, they can utilize the free version until they determine if they need to upgrade to Premium or Business. All employees can create a Skype account using their work email and can watch free online tutorials on how to download and use the technology. The video conference aspect that allows employees to see each other while talking helps preserve the human aspect of meetings which will likely preserve the positive company culture. This option will allow employees to join meetings from wherever they are.
