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.

Reservation-Less Audio Conferencing

Wouldn’t it be great if you could have instant access to a conference call without making a reservation or involving an operator?

Reservation-less audio conferencing is a new innovative way for companies to conduct important business meetings at the drop of a hat. Instead of having to go through an operator to set up the call, professionals would instead just have to pick up the phone, dial their dedicated conferencing line, enter a code, enter a pin number and then be automatically connected to up to hundreds of their employees.

This conferencing solution allows professionals to receive:

• Consistency- Receive stable dial-in information for all calls
• Convenience – No use of operators, reservations or time limits
• Easy Use – Control of all the functions from the keypad of the touch tone phone
• Customization – Customizing of the teleconference call to the specific needs of the moderator of the call
• Connecting People – Bring together participants for various meetings at any time, customers or employees

In the business world it is important to be able to connect to not only employees but also clients whenever it is needed. It is with these modernizations of the IT world that are making it capable for businesses large and small to become more productive and efficient in the way that they communicate. Even the smallest gain in efficiency and effectiveness could have an influence on a business. That is why audio conference can be considered an important way of communication. With businesses having employees and different work groups scattered across the country or the world, this service allows businesses to save time, money on in-person business meetings and also allows all involved to be in the meeting but yet still remote.

Reservation-less teleconferencing allows professionals to receive a simple and convenient solution to creating better connections between everyone involved. Projects, deadlines, important decisions, and contracts are things that professionals and their teams need to be able to discuss and come together for at a moments notice. It is the most resourceful way for that to happen.
