Woman Conferencing with Colleagues
Concerning a Business Plan
Thanks to innovative advances in telecommunications, there's a lot more
flexibility when it comes to being involved in business meetings and
conferences. No longer do you have to be physically present,
well-dressed, and prepared to spend half the day or more sitting around
a table. Today, new advances in audio conferencing make attending
meetings and conferences hassle-free for anyone who desires, or needs,
a little flexibility.
Audio conferencing, in its basic sense, is a telephone call in which three
or more persons located in two or more places converse together.
Speaker phones and related accessories are often used to extend the reach
and participation of an audio conference. Video conferencing
services and solutions often receive more attention from the media, but
they require more expensive equipment and higher bandwidths than the
traditional business conference call. Nevertheless, high speed
Internet access and digital video equipment are now widely available
in most areas, and commercial grade conferencing solutions often include
both audio and video capabilities. This AT&T corporate web page
provides a good overview of
audio conferencing and describes its features and benefits.
Audio and video conferencing, taken together, are innovative technologies
that have altered the way that organizations conduct business.
Audio conferences and video conferences can often replace time-consuming
and expensive travel. Instead of spending time making reservations
and waiting to board planes in airports, employees need only pick up their
phones to communicate easily and cost-effectively with groups of people,
wherever they are located. In a world where businesses continue to
downsize and decentralize, audio conferencing techniques have become more
and more important. And as telecommuting becomes more popular, with
more and more people working out of their homes instead of at the office,
audio conferencing has become indispensable. Companies are finding
that conferencing technologies enable them to employ fewer, geographically
dispersed people without diminishing overall productivity.
Audio conferencing can also be accomplished via the Internet, using Voice
over IP (VoIP) connections. VoIP phone service typically allows
unlimited phone calls (and hence conference calls) within the United States
for a fixed monthly fee. Here on this website, you will find a
directory of audio conferencing solution providers. Many of these
firms offer sophisticated video conferencing products and services as
well.
OpenVoice provides premium conferencing solutions to enterprise and service-provider customers
as well as small and medium-sized businesses. www.GoToMeeting.com
