For companies interested in the most simplistic form of conference calling services, Innovative Systems has a solution. Basic Conferencing Service allows your company to offer just that – basic conference calling service. Basic Conferencing is similar to what you may be able to offer with a DACS in that everyone uses the same telephone number to access the system. But that's about all that is the same. There are real advantages of Basic Conferencing vs. the DACS:
- Basic Conference Calling is more secure for your subscribers because the subscriber selects a 5-digit ID number for the conference call. Only those who know the ID number can access the conference.
- Basic Conference Calling does not require your staff to perform any kind of scheduling or setup.
With a DACS conference, anyone who dials the access telephone number is immediately included in the conference call. That means someone could listen in on a conference call where they are not welcome. With Innovative Systems Basic Conference Calling Service, all subscribers always call the same access telephone number which makes it simple. It’s secure because they must also enter a 5-digit PIN to automatically direct them to their private conference. The PIN can be any 5-digit number as long as all the participants are using the same PIN number.
Once Basic Conferencing service is deployed on your AP, there is really nothing else that your company must do. Deploy Basic Conference Service on your AP and let subscribers know the access telephone number. As they use the service, your additional revenue comes from an increase in terminating minutes.
- There are no billing records to manage.
- There is no administration needed to enter subscribers in the system.
- There is no scheduling or call setup for your staff to coordinate.
