Conference Calling and Conference Calling Services Guide

So you’ve been evaluating and determining the right type of conference calling service based on the size of your organization. Next, you’ll want to evaluate the kind of access your organization will need to conference calling, assuming you haven’t chosen to install an internal conferencing bridge.  If you only plan conference calls for organized company events such as investor relations meetings and quarterly reports, you’ll probably need to utilize operator-assisted conference calling, to moderate listeners and Q&A sessions.  Because operator-assisted conference calling can be more expensive than other options, it also comes with a greater selection of options available, such as recording abilities, meeting entry announcement options and realtime statistics provided during the call through private channel discussion or web-based programming.  If your conferencing needs are simpler, skip the operator-assisted option and select between pre-arranged unmoderated conferencing and instant access conferencing. We’ll be giving you more information on the differences between un-moderated conference and instant access conferencing in future posts.
