Internet Telephony Conference

Internet telephony conference call services are used to organize a virtual meeting point for different entities related to an organization. This may include employees of the same organization, country heads, suppliers, dealers, stockholders, and other government agencies.

Large corporate organizations have sister concerns operating in different countries across the world that constantly need to share information regarding production, sales, and revenues. A large amount of the company's resources are used in making travel arrangements for visiting area managers and country heads. Internet telephony conference calls help in saving traveling costs and the productive time of business managers. It also saves costs related to international long distance call charges.

Internet telephony conferencing provides easy access to participants located in other countries by using international toll free access lines (ITFS). Oversees participants have to dial a country specific toll free access number and enter a PIN number provided by the leader of the conference to join the conference call. The service can be used to provide critical inputs on issues that can affect the company's subsidiary in a particular country. Critical issues related to business operations can easily be resolved by exchanging personal views and ideas about a particular subject. The service can also be used for making sales and marketing presentations to motivate international sales teams.

Internet telephony conferencing rates differ from country to country. The total conferencing call charges are calculated by adding country-specific rates, multiplied by number of users, and fixed conferencing bridge rates, multiplied by total number of participants. Conference leaders can save costs by restricting the number of participants.

In spite of the huge benefits associated with Internet telephony conference calls, they are slowly being replaced by new technologies such as video conferencing. These technologies allow users to share audio as well as video content, and can be used to make presentations and demonstrations more effectively on participants' personal computers.
