Have you ever struggled with trying to set up a conference call with several of your team members but with conflicting time zones? If you actually gather everyone together for the conference call your business is paying a fortune in International rates. Consider it this way, how many of you have seen the Play Station setups that have the kids talking with other members of a game all over the world. There is no charge for several individuals to all gather on their headsets and strategize on how to make the next move. Will the technology used by the gaming industry also work for business conference calls? The answer is yes - VoIP conference software is exactly what the business industry can use to connect with other employees and enjoy substantial savings. Consider these providers:
* The Gizmo Project
* iVocalize
* Claripoint Vista
* Vonage
The Gizmo Project has a couple of features that are great for business conference calls. Their software creates a Virtual Voice conference room within the system whenever you need it. You can use any phone in the system to access the conference calling area. Another aspect of The Gizmo is for an individual to enter their name and email into the conference call system, they will then receive a number, and access code to dial and will instantly enter the conference "room."
iVocalize is cost effective and easy to use. It not only has conferencing abilities but also provides support for recording, co-browsing, and PowerPoint presentations. What is great about this software is that the "host" can present their project to the group while everyone is in the virtual conference room. The difference with this VoIP conference software is that the attendees need to be using their computers as opposed to their phones. The amount of people that you can have at your conference is unlimited you can have 3 or thousands.
Calripoint Vista is a great software program that allows those attending the conference call to work together in real-time. It does not take long to understand how the software works - a quick few minutes and you will be on your way to scheduling meetings. This software also requires the participants to be on their respective computers as opposed to the phone.
Vonage provides 3-way calling so this software is more appropriate for small business owners or conference calls that do not require several individuals.
