OnConference Helps Companies Choose the Best Conference Calling Service

Online, October 6, 2010 (Newswire.com) - 30 September 2010 - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada - Conference calling saves companies time and money and it's important that a company knows what services it needs to make the conference call efficient and effective. OnConference helps companies stay connected 24/7 by giving them guidelines when looking for a conference calling provider.

According to Jerry Everett, President of OnConference, there are certain questions that a company should ask when looking for a conference calling provider that best meets its needs.

"Do I need an operator to manage the conference call?" This is the first question that must be addressed. For calls of more formal in nature, a live operator can save a company the hassle of connecting all the participants into the call. An operator will also make the entire course of the conference running smoothly by immediately dealing with audio or video problems that may arise so that the call will not have to be cancelled or delayed.

"Is web conferencing for me?" is the second question. Web conferencing lets you show PowerPoint slides and share your applications with your conference call participants. This is usually cheaper than the regular phone conference, but it needs a good network setup and the correct software.

"Do I want the conference call recorded?" This is useful especially if one or more participants cannot attend the conference or the company just wants to have a record of the conference.

"Am I getting the best service and price?" The company must choose a provider that offers quality services at reasonable rates.

These guide questions should help companies choose what's best for them.
