Managing Director at Empire State International Private Limited
For the past few days, I have been requesting you repeatedly over messages, email, and phone calls, for issue of Tender Papers for the above work in the light of Corrigendum issued on your website on 17th July 2020. Since nothing is forthcoming from your side, I am submitting a formal request for the same with a copy to your higher ups, which you hope may not mind.
We have been working under the Brand name of K-Infotech, hosting ecommerce sites, content portals, application software, over many countries and continents, as Exclusive Telecommunication, Videoconferencing, Application Software and Web Service Solution Provider for UK, India, Dubai, and Hong Kong for several companies as the Sole Authorized Service Provider for Crown IT Limited, Authorization Certificate attached.
Video conferencing has also enabled many businesses to continue to operate by allowing employees to work from home, using conferencing solutions for meetings and updates, as well as general communications.
Additionally, in view of the prevailing pandemic all over world, and with increasing concerns about the carbon cost of travel to the environment, it makes sense for companies to seek to continue to communicate face-to-face online rather than indulge in the wasteful cost to the business and environment in having face-to-face meetings in a single location.
In our experience a telephone call nowhere meets the purpose of an interview, more importantly an Oral Examination to test the Competency of a Nautical Officer or a marine engineer. What is the point of a meeting or a telephone call? Is it to communicate or facilitate learning and understanding? Could it be to strengthen an existing relationship or simply to get things done? If your company is still using audioconferencing as a primary communication tool—or if you as an executive, personally, have not fully considered the benefits of the shift to video conferencing—read on.
Here are five key reasons why video conferencing is superior to audioconferencing—and can often be even more effective than face-to-face meetings.
Video Conferencing Is Far More Engaging Than Audioconferencing. Hence video engages during a call the entire feel and etiquette of the meeting changes. Participants can see and be seen. Any sense of distance is removed. There is no longer any semblance of “out of sight, out of mind,” for your examiners and examinees. The examiners can watch for themselves the demeanour and fortitude of the examinee, to decide the competence of the sailors. Participants are less apt to “zone out” or multitask, as they might on an audioconference, and instead maintain “virtual eye contact.”
This also translates into closer relationships—even between team members or clients who have yet to meet in person. Video Conferencing Is as Good as Being There and Is More Efficient Video conferencing can enable key team members to participate in meetings when it might otherwise make no sense. For example, we can take a case of Western Sydney University (WSU). the university is not only quite large—44,000 students—but also geographically dispersed, featuring seven campuses. Today all of them meet regularly on videoconference but by video conference, as if it were like being in the same room.
Video Conferencing Enables Superior Communication and Learning
Those intimately familiar with the inferior temporal, superior parietal, and orbitofrontal cortexes, as well as various other regions of the brain, assure us that humans process visual information far faster and more capably than text or audio.
The videoconferencing experience can recall objects, numerals and other pieces of information based on sound versus vision. The auditory recognition memory performance is markedly inferior to visual recognition memory. video conferencing significantly improves the quality of communication, a figure that rises to 73% among high-growth companies. In addition, 50% of those surveyed believe video conferencing also improves the degree of understanding. Video Conferencing Keeps Dispersed Teams Connected and Aligned Face-to-face interaction is generally most effective. And using today’s state-of-the-art, cloud-delivered video conferencing, is the closest thing to working together in person.
With video conferencing it is easy to just put together a call and get face-to-face, making sure customers get their questions and issues addressed. Video personalizes things: They get to know you; you get to know them.” Overall, that drives better communication, creates trust, and builds stronger relationships
Need further convincing on why your company should embrace video conferencing now? However, we have also covered general consumer video conferencing platforms as well as business ones and linked through to reviews we have recently carried out across a wide range of video conferencing solutions. Of course, we do not have practical experience with a herculean Examination system as huge as yours. But as a former architect of the DGS e-governance do know the complexities of the DGS eGovernance System and hope to early overcome the time difference when an examinee onboard a VLCC getting ready for a session with your External Examiner, at his cosy bedroom, which we can visualize with all the complexities of the telecommunication setup, bandwidth requirements, streaming, recording and end-to-end security that is nowhere available in free or even pad videoconferencing platforms. Our video conferencing solution may have all or more of the following features. ..
As far as security is concerned, our system comes with enterprise-level security features including meeting lock, data localization, encrypted calls, secure transmission and storage, randomized meeting IDs, participant passcodes, fraud detection, and a variety of authentication options. Security is our primary plan and that is how our systems differentiate itself from the other competitors in the market with convenient dial-in options to join the meetings.
If there be Q&A Session, I can explain more on your system.
In the circumstances, I request for email supply of the tender papers so that I can submit my RFP / Quote in time. The full features of the system we are proposing for installation will be submitted in our RFQ.
