What You Can Expect

The court reporting industry has seen massive advances in technology, empowering a more efficient and streamlined process. With a Planet Depos partnership, you can expect the best virtual experience.

The current economic conditions are causing law firms and their clients to re-evaluate and re-assess every cost associated with litigation. If your case requires you to depose or interview someone in another state, or even another country, consider taking the deposition or attending the meeting via videoconference. In most cases, the cost difference between sending your team to attend a deposition or meeting in person and the cost of a videoconference makes the choice obvious.

We have experienced videoconference coordinators that will make all the arrangements for your videoconferences throughout the United States and abroad. Our sites include an attentive 24/7 support staff for all your needs throughout the videoconference. We provide you with full, split, or dual screens, along with streaming audio, video, and text. We can also record your meeting or deposition with playback capabilities.

Videoconferencing is a great way to hold meetings amongst various offices, conduct training seminars, or even interview prospective employees. Before you book your next flight, contact us for a complimentary comparison between the costs of traveling to the deposition or meeting verses attending by videoconference.

Traditional Videoconferencing

The pros to a traditional videoconference

  • Traditional videoconferencing provides excellent picture and audio quality. With equipment built for a singular purpose, you can always expect the videoconference to be picture-perfect.
  • Due to a dedicated line for your videoconference, there is very little to no lag or buffering.

The cons to a traditional videoconference

  • The locations are limited and all parties must travel to the nearest videoconference site. Even with sites located all around the world, this can become a hassle for some. If you, or your clients, do not want to travel to a dedicated videoconference site, a mobile videoconference is a better option.
  • Rates will vary by location and can be very high, especially if you want to hold your conference after normal business hours.

Mobile Videoconferencing

Mobile videoconferencing is quickly becoming a heavy hitting force in the legal realm. As technology and mobile connections expand around the world, mobile videoconferencing is now a simple, secure, and efficient way to bring your witnesses into the courtroom, to attend or conduct depositions, or interview prospective expert witnesses. A secure web portal enables attorneys, paralegals, experts, and adjusters to attend depositions, trials, arbitrations, and other proceedings in real time.

Mobile videoconferencing is easy to use, requiring only a mobile connection through which users receive an email containing a link, connecting them to the videoconference within seconds. Most mobile options will not sacrifice picture quality, features, or convenience. Additionally, it allows users universal connectivity, with connections through PC, iPads, videoconference units, and smartphones.

The Pros to a Mobile Videoconference

  • A mobile videoconference is more versatile than traditional videoconferencing. You can join a mobile VC from your home or office – anywhere with a stable internet connection.
  • It offers additional features that traditional videoconferencing cannot, such as chat, screen sharing, and user controls.
  • People attending by phone-only can dial directly into the mobile videoconference and hear all sides clearly.
  • Pricing is consistent and affordable.

The Cons to a Mobile Videoconference

  • Generally, the quality on traditional videoconferencing will be higher than a mobile option. Though this is not always true, if you absolutely must have picture perfect quality, a traditional videoconference may be the better option.
  • Mobile VCs are completely dependent on a solid internet connection. If an internet connection is not available, you will be better off with a traditional videoconference at a dedicated site.
