- Desktop-to-Mobile Video Chat Being Tested by Georgia Department of Public Health
- By Sarah Rich. Government Technology, September 6, 2011. "The Georgia Department of Public Health wants to begin testing video conferencing technology on mobile devices within the next few weeks. The cloud-based desktop-to-mobile video service would allow staff to video conference from Windows desktop computers to Apple mobile devices such as the iPad and iPod. The department, aside from its main office, spans to 18 districts throughout the state with some districts containing multiple county health departments.

Extending the technology to mobile devices will help with these aspects of video conferencing..."

- CIOs discover windfalls in productivity and sustainable policies, by Georgina Swan. CIO, 7 August, 2010. "It could be any meeting room, anywhere, with one major difference: The room, within Sheraton on the Park hotel in Sydney, is a gateway to the world.

Impressive, immersive and bleeding edge, vendors were keen to promote the benefits but, with a hefty pricetag, the concept of virtual meetings featured well and truly on the 'nice to have' side of CIO’s priority lists, if indeed it featured at all..."
