Obviously and the fact that such free applications of video conference are used not only for personal contact, but also for business communications. However, as soon as corporate users begin to think of controllability, security, confidentiality, scaling, a many point, group work, technical support, integration with other systems and services, necessary is an installation of own server of video conferences (VIDEOCONFERENCING), at own office or in a cloud. For serious business and the large organizations, for banks, medical institutions, the ministries and departments private corporate VKS of the server guarantee safety of your information.
