VSee For USC School of Pharmacy

Posted on August 30, 2011 by anne — 3 Comments ↓

We were very excited to talk with the University of Southern California (USC) School of Pharmacy last week and to learn how they are using VSee. They have been using VSee to broadcast lectures into an overflow room with three 65″ HDTVs. They have set it up with the video/lecturer in the center display and VSee’s versatile application-sharing sessions on either side. They are really happy with how it’s working for them

VSee is a participant at the 2011 ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Hangzhou, China. This is the first time the conference has been held outside of North America.

Besides being an attendee at this conference, Milton Chen, Founder & CEO of VSee, had the opportunity to present VSee’s No-App Approach to Video Collaboration.

This is a photo of Milton making a presentation to the audience at CSCW 2011.

VSee also prepared a short video presentation on the No-App Approach to Video Collaboration:

In a separate session, VSee was used to bring in a remote speaker from the USA to the ACM Conference of CSCW 2011 in Hangzhou, China.

If you have met us at CSCW 2011 and would like to speak with us, feel free to email us at sales@vsee.com. We’ll be most happy to show you a demo of VSee and take any questions you have. In the meantime, take a look at our brochure to learn more about VSee

CSCW is a premier venue for presenting research in the design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, and communities. The development and application of new technologies continues to enable new ways of working together and coordinating activities. Although work is an important area of focus for the conference, technology is increasingly supporting a wide range of recreational and social activities. CSCW has also embraced an increasing range of devices, as we collaborate from different contexts and situations. The conference brings together top researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are interested in both the technical and social aspects of collaboration. (Source: cscw2011.org)

VSee participated in the Sales 2.0 Conference held at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco earlier this month.

The team (both in person and remote) had a great time introducing VSee to the experienced and field-seasoned sales leaders. We were really encouraged that they loved how VSee would help them increase their sales teams’ productivity. Anyhow, here are some photos from our time at the Sales 2.0 Conference:

Here’s Darren with John and Siu Rui in remote giving demos:

Top 5 Tips To Being An Effective Remote Worker

Posted on March 30, 2010 by admin — No Comments ↓

We’ve devoted posts to the corporate environment of remote work and distributed teams. Today’s installment is directed at our end users who find themselves to be, you guessed it, remote workers.

There is sometimes an assumption within the tech world that any problem can be solved by a tool. “If someone isn’t an effective remote worker, maybe we can create a tool to make them effective.” There is actually a lot more to the picture than what tool you are using to get their work done.

First, you must make a careful assessment of your character. Just about anyone can work from home (or the hotel, or the park, or the cafe) for a day. The question is, can you stand working without the hustle of an office for days, weeks, or years on end? You have to be able to handle the environment of working without a net. You must also be very motivated by deadlines. (See Five Things You’ll Miss by Not Working In An Office.)

If you (and/or your boss) believe you fit the above profile, I have a list of suggestions to help you survive and be productive:

1) Have a dedicated workspace/office

My home office actually has a placard that says, “Office” over the door. There are two reasons to have this space: i) It’s a tax write Continue reading →
