Periodically, the company has meetings or discussions with all offices throughout the system.

However, those methods have not yet achieved the desired effect: limited content sharing, limited number of participating connection points, poor quality audio and video. Due to the limitations of these methods, the frequency of online meetings only takes place once a month. In addition, they are forced to be held offline (expensive travel costs).
