A company with offices in three countries wants staff to hold live discussions with screen sharing without travelling. Which technology is best suited to this need?
Video conferencing is best because it lets staff in different countries talk in real time, see each other and share screens without travelling. The other options are static or one-way methods that cannot support live interactive discussion between dispersed offices.

- BA printed newsletter
- CA suggestion box
- DA notice board
Explanation
Video conferencing allows real-time two-way audio, video and screen sharing across locations, which meets the need. Printed newsletters, suggestion boxes and notice boards are slow or one-way and cannot support live discussion.
