Conference call centers
A conference call center is a place where an
individual or a company can start a conference if they
have no other possibility to do so. You can can access
the call via your telephone by a call bridge which is
essentially a telephone, and you can have your
conference calls handled by a specific service unit.
These agents manage many calls at the same time, screen
them, and forward them to experts. Such centers are
generally for persons or businesses who cannot conduct
these conferences on their own; they choose those
centers which are able to offer them technology and
support services to make sure that their calls will go
smoothly.
You can usually find these service locations near
business areas, hotels or airports. They are buildings
with rooms of different sizes, which offer peace and
quiet, with desks, outlets and internet access, as well as
hook ups for projectors and slide shows. In addition, all
conference call centers have support staff on duty to help
you with any problem you may have.
Another service offered by conference service locations
is video
conferencing, which is the next best thing to
meeting another person physically. At a service center,
the high speed internet connections, phone lines and
technology, such as web cameras, allow you to conduct a
live meeting via the Internet. A specific meeting room
facility for a video conference has two or more video
screens, not only for seeing the other party, but also to
see your own image as it is displayed from the site. There
are also audio speakers, microphones and an input for both
parties to receive a video or computer presentation.
Conference call centers are based on auto dialing by
which they can automatically dial large call lists.
Automatic dialing is being used especially for
telemarketing and fundraising campaigns. Today, however,
the auto dialer call center software is being used more
widely, and can be used also for effective contact with
your customers. For many companies, the auto dialer has
become a necessary part of their customer service
strategy.
Some companies are even offering relatively cheap
or free conferencing packages for making up your own
personal call center, which you can install and handle
yourself.
For most companies, organizations or even individuals,
conference call centers are a relatively cheap and
effective way to communicate with one or many parties,
either through audio or video. Through new technologies
like VoIP, audio and video conferencing should become much
cheaper and easier to use.
