Audio conferencing to reduce spending

How much time and money is your company spending on meetings? How often are people traveling across town, across the country or around the world to attend meetings in person that could just as productively be held via Tele- or Audio conference? What impact does this have on your company's carbon footprint? In today's business world, traveling for a meeting costs more than just the hotel and the plane ticket. The cost of the time spent going through security, waiting for a plane, out of touch in the air, this often costs more than the ticket and hotel. Add to that the cost of meals and rental cars and every meeting gets more expensive than you initially may have thought.

Audio conferencing using Voice over IP (VoIP) works very similarly to a traditional conference call using analog telephones. In Conference calls, callers connect to a conference bridge, a server that allows multiple people to talk to one another. VoIP audio conferences use the same principle -- callers connect to a conference bridge via their telephones or computers.

Conference calling capabilities are often built into VoIP networks or available as a service upgrade. If a business uses a VoIP network for its telephones, calls from outside of the company can still typically connect the conference bridges. External lines may connect directly to the bridge server, or external calls may reach the server through the VoIP network.

This is how the new age organizations are teaching the old age organizations to use the latest digital tools and thereby reduce cost and increase interactivity. Its just one touch audio meetings and people get to talk instantly without any traveling and delays. The old age organizations have taken notice as they need to reduce spending too. So, if you represent your organization, you now know what to do to reduce spending.
