Phone Conference Benefits
Phone conference solutions help
businesses improve business processes and
communications while significantly reducing the
cost of conferencing. Compared to conferencing
products from service providers, organizations
using IVCi audio conferencing solutions benefit
from:
Reduce Costs
Conferencing phone solutions
deliver the benefits and advantages of
conferencing - reduced travel costs, more
collaboration, and higher productivity - in a
more cost-effective way. Compared to
conferencing bridges from outside service
providers, our audio conferencing solution
eliminates costly per-minute per person audio
port surcharges and monthly subscription fees.
You can conduct as many conferences as you need,
with as many people as you need...without
incurring additional charges above the line toll
costs. If you spend more than £500 per month on
outsourced audio conferencing services, we will
save you money .
Ease Of Use
Full integration with MS Outlook® or
Lotus Notes® provides a single entry point for
setting up the users and related conference call
details. All relevant information is generated
automatically and sent to the users in the
conference. Once the meeting has started, the
leader has full control via a web interface
and/or the telephone keypad. Users have the
ability with the web interface to allow them
call control functions as well as meeting
choreography, i.e. to raise their "hand" when
they wish to ask a question for example. As in
face to face meetings the leader can set up a
breakout group to create a sub conference on the
fly. Integrated Web conferencing tools allow PC
applications to be easily shared and fully
rounds out this powerful conferencing solution.
To further increase the productivity of the
meeting integrated voting and polling deliver
faster decisions.
Security
Phone conference access is protected
through the use of conference IDs, unique
participant PINs and passwords. The host can
hear a roll call of participants on the call at
any time and can lock conferences to prevent
additional participants from joining. Entry and
exit announcements can be configured in addition
for the ability to eject participants and lock
the conference once everyone is connected. For
those using VoIP technology, our solution can be
placed behind the firewall to take advantage of
existing corporate IP security already in place
for local users or remote users that may be on a
Virtual Private Network connection. This same
mechanism ensures that any shared documents stay
within your own security, with additional SSL
encryption able to be applied as well.
Flexibility
Conference phone solutions are designed
to be easy to administer. They provide the
flexibility of having control and management of
the conference either via the telephone, your PC
or a combination of both. While enjoying the
substantial cost savings and enhanced security
of an in-house phone conferencing solution, you can
also be assured that you will not incur
burdensome administrative costs. The process of
adding, changing, and deleting user accounts,
setting user privileges, managing system
resources, monitoring system status, and
generating reports is simple and
straightforward, requiring very little of an
administrator's time. Some of these functions
can be performed from the built-in user
interface or integrated into your own Microsoft
Outlook® or Lotus Notes® system.
