THE 4 BEST VIDEOCONFERENCING APPS
To Keep You Connected During Quarantine
Social interaction outside of the home has become nearly nonexistent, so people are resorting to video calls like never before. Whether it’s a collaborative meeting for work or a virtual happy hour with loved ones, some video apps are better to rely on than others. Cisco Webex The convenience of Cisco Webex is that it has two options for videoconferencing: Meetings and Teams. Meetings is primarily for straightforward videoconferencing, while Teams is specifically designed for collaborating with those you’re talking to. With Meetings, you can have face-to-face interactions and the ability to share your screen and record. Teams will take you to a virtual whiteboard when you start your video call where everyone can contribute and brainstorm. Skype Now owned by Microsoft, Skype has become a great collaboration suite for businesses that use Office 365. You get high-definition audio and video during calls, can chat in private, and can share your screen and record meetings. In collaboration with Microsoft, Skype also gives you the ability to save conversations, search those conversations later, customize notifications, and equip the highest levels of security. The
free version is great for colleagues and families, as long as everyone is willing to sign up for their own account.
GoToMeeting If you need a videoconferencing app with more professional features, then GoToMeeting is it. It’s great for desktops but is also one of the best mobile options available. You can share your screen, view presentations, and integrate it with your calendar to receive meeting alerts. If you’re on your mobile device, you can do everything you would on your computer, and commuter mode will save you up to 90% of data when you join a meeting. Zoom If you’re brand-new to videoconferencing, then Zoom offers simplicity without sacrificing quality. Top-tier video, audio, screen-sharing, and cross-platform messaging are all easy to use. Zoom’s phone service even allows you to make calls from your own phone number through the app. Be aware that the free version has limitations on meeting lengths and the number of participants. It’s also important to stay abreast of security changes Zoom is implementing in response to rapid-spread use. MEDISOFT, LYTEC, NEXTGEN, & APRIMA SUPPORT PLANS FOR HOSTING, BACKUP, AND MORE
SPOTLIGHT ON ROBERT LADNER
Robert Ladner knows a lot about computers, so we knew he’d be a great fit at AZCOMP when

“My computer background is in a different realm, but using my skill set to
now help people with their health care is really exciting,” Robert says. “Not only has my support team been outstanding, but I’ve also already developed a great rapport with clients because they’re so enjoyable to work with,” he adds. “It’s like everyone who works for or with AZCOMP is just really happy to be a part of it.” Outside work, Robert chases after his 2-year-old and 6-month-old daughters and enjoys spending time with extended family. When he finds time to himself, Robert indulges in his hobby of 3D printing. He prints everything from small toys for his girls to household items that help him with everyday fixes. Having a mindset for figuring out how to make things work serves him well in everything he does.
Welcome to the team, Robert!
