With soaring fuel prices, bringing people together for meetings has never been more cost-effective than with Innovative Systems' Conference Service. Easy management for the customer, flexible billing options and security make a strong business case for Innovative's conference service.
Many existing conference bridge systems have significant limitations, including requiring Telco staff to set up and tear down each conference, few security features, and no method to provide accurate billing.
Innovative Systems has developed conferencing services that address all of these issues, allowing service providers to actively market audio conferencing to their large and small businesses, local schools, hospitals, and residential customers. The Conference Service can generate EMI records for processing in your billing system and presentation with the subscriber's regular toll charges.
Conference calling services are not limited to the boundaries of your service area. It is an excellent opportunity to increase revenue since the callers are terminating in your network from virtually anywhere in the country. The minutes of use generated by the conference system increase revenue from service charges AND terminating access revenue.

Online Conference Management
With access to ManageMyPhone.com, the Conference Administrator (subscriber) can manage conferences using
the Internet Enhanced Conference System (ISIA required). This optional features gives the Conference
Administrator the ability to control several aspects of the conference in real-time from the Internet,
thus providing even more efficient, productive and enjoyable conferences.
Billing for Your Conference Service
You can be creative in how you bill for conference service. Some users could be billed a monthly rate
while others are billed based on their usage. The On Demand or Scheduled service can generate EMI records
reflecting the total amount of the conference call - all billing parameters included. The service can also
generate XML files showing complete details of all conference calling activity.
