Thesis Overview

The project titled "Implementation of Virtual Meetings Platform for Remote Office Collaboration" aims to explore and implement a virtual meetings platform to enhance remote collaboration within office settings. With the increasing trend towards remote work and distributed teams, the need for effective communication and collaboration tools has become paramount. This research seeks to address this need by designing and implementing a virtual meetings platform tailored specifically for remote office environments. The study will begin with an in-depth examination of the current landscape of remote work and the challenges faced by teams working in distributed settings. This will be followed by a detailed review of existing virtual meetings platforms, highlighting their features, strengths, and limitations. By identifying the gaps in the existing solutions, the research will define the requirements for a virtual meetings platform optimized for remote office collaboration. The project will involve the development and implementation of a prototype virtual meetings platform, incorporating key features such as video conferencing, screen sharing, chat functionality, and document collaboration. The platform will be designed to provide a seamless and interactive virtual meeting experience, enabling remote teams to communicate effectively and collaborate on projects in real-time. The research methodology will include a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, including surveys, interviews, and usability testing to gather feedback from users and evaluate the effectiveness of the platform. The findings from these evaluations will inform iterative improvements to the platform design, ensuring that it meets the needs and preferences of remote office teams. Through this research, the project aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on remote work technologies and their impact on team collaboration. By developing a virtual meetings platform tailored for remote office settings, this project seeks to enhance communication, productivity, and engagement among distributed teams, ultimately improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of remote work arrangements.
