What should you expect from your conferencing provider?

Today there is a multitude of different types of Web and Audio Conferencing services. When evaluating a new Collaboration service, what are some of the items that you should expect? Should it be mobile centric? Should it be able to seamlessly tie into your desktop, mobile, and tablet device? At ConferenceShopper we’ve had the privilege of watching the Conferencing world grow and evolve over the past years. In doing so, we believe conferencing should now be able to not only integrate with your mobile devices, but should natively provide a video, web, and audio service regardless of the device the product is being accessed on.

Audio Conferencing and the Advantage of Mobility Applications

Reservationless Audio Conferencing has continually evolved to meet the needs of its users. From hosting meetings over Analog lines to a more recent transition to VoIP (Voice over IP) based Cloud Conferencing services. Today users are beginning to access more meetings on the go, calling for a need to support iPhone and Android devices. In doing so, users can now connect to their web or audio conferencing services through a one-click app that can be accessed on the smart phone device.

Almost 30% of all conference calls are now being conducted on a mobile device. In conducting conference calls on the go, users expect the same feel they receive on a desktop version of the same program. For example, with PGI's iMeet product, it is seamlessly designed to match desktop and mobile web conferencing abilities. Users are able to Video Conference, share files, invite guests, and collaborate with others just as they can on a desktop version of the same product.
