Audio Conference Basics
 |
| A Brief Guide to Audio
Conferencing Services |
Audio conferencing provides
a way for businesses and other groups to interact,
without having to travel to each other's offices.
The savings in time and travel expenses quickly
make up for the cost of audio conferencing
services and equipment. Audio conferencing
usually involves other types of teleconferencing
technology, such as video and collaborative
software. Collaborative software is software
that one user may send to other users for
simultaneous viewing and modification. For
example, if the group wants to work on a diagram,
it can be seen and drawn upon by anybody in
the conference via a special electronic whiteboard.
