Introduction

One of the major expenses for any multi-national business or research institution is the cost of sending people around the world for conferences. Even with cheap flights and transport, the time lost can have a major impact on productivity and profit. Even for employees in the same town or same building, conferencing is an excellent time-saving option.

To help reduce these costs, conferencing technology was developed as a way to share important information without the need to travel. This facility eliminates the direct cost of traveling, as well as the indirect cost of having employees leave the workplace for long periods. Originally based around simple telephone based technology, the options have grown as software has evolved.

For international companies with employees working across many time-zones, the conference call allows a set weekly or monthly meeting to enable the company to discuss strategies, results and updates on new products.
