Hosted IP Telephony Conferencing provides a key value-added service for Standard Telecom's business customers. Hosted IP TelephonyConferencing includes both On-Demand and Meet-Me conferencing capabilities, giving you the greatest conferencing service flexibility.
On-Demand Conferencing
On-Demand conferences, also known as N-way or ad-hoc conferences, are easily initiated during an existing call. Join together anywhere from 3 to N participants onto a single call instantly. Simply push the telephone's conference button or use the flash button to bring in each additional participant. On-Demand Conferencing provides the flexibility for impromptu meetings anytime.
On-Demand Conferencing is even more powerful when used in conjunction with Hosted IP Telephony Web Portal. This intuitive graphical interface provides convenient on-screen click-to-conference functionality.
Meet-Me Conferencing
Users love hosting meetings with Hosted IP Telephony Meet-Me Conferencing. With this tool, you can easily set up a conference reservation and then manage the conference once the guests have joined without ever having to go through a conference administrator. So what makes Meet-Me Conferencing so special?
First, it's easy to set up a conference any time or anywhere using either the point-and-click Hosted IP Telephony Web Portal or the straight-forward telephone IVR. The Hosted IP Telephony Web Portal makes it easy to check availability, reserve conference ports, set up recurring conferences, and make edits to reservations. The "Notify" feature makes it easy to invite attendees by email with all the pertinent conference details pre-entered. "Dial-Out" functions let the conference moderator quickly add guests who are late or forget to call in.
You can still take advantage of Hosted IP Telephony Meet-Me Conferencing if you don't subscribe to Hosted IP Telephony Web Portal. A straight-forward IVR phone interface walks you through conference setup, talks you through each step, reads back the conference details, and even shows the conference codes on the phone display.
During a conference, Meet-Me Conferencing puts the moderator in control using the Hosted IP Telephony Web Portal's on-screen conference control window. These moderator functions make it easy for the moderator to identify who is on the call both visually or via an audible roll call and then add, drop or mute attendees. For security, the moderator can lock or unlock the conference to prevent new attendees from joining. For productivity, attendees can raise their hands for attention or to register their response to a an in-call vote. If necessary, the moderator can extend the meeting reservation duration or add additional ports to the reservation with the click of a mouse.
A guest version of this conference window enables guests with access to Web Portal to see participant names and "raise a hand" for moderator attention when they're muted. Many of these conference control features are also available through touch-tone commands for those without Web Portal access.
