Overview

Connect Conferencing believes that in-house conferencing offers enterprises the most cost-effective, secure and integrated conferencing solution. Unlike vendors that offer conferencing services as well as in-house versions, Connect Conferencing focuses solely on providing its customers the absolutely best conferencing appliances, designed from the ground up solely for in-house installation.

One of the greatest advantages of in-house conferencing solutions is the extent to which they integrate with the user environment. Connect Conferencing’s MeetingConnect appliance leverages this integration to deliver the richest conferencing capabilities:

  • Audio conferencing: Carrier-grade multi-feature audio conference bridge that is compatible with both TDM and VoIP environments.
  • Web conferencing: Extensive, real-time web collaboration with presentation viewing, application sharing and remote control.
  • Integration services: Services and APIs to support full integration with IT environment elements including corporate directories and collaborative enterprise applications.
  • Scheduling services: Conference scheduling via Outlook™ calendar, web or telephony user interfaces.
  • Recording and playback: Audio and web conference recording for future use, to be played back together or independently.
  • Ad-hoc services: Conferences can be instantly initiated using desktop applications, such as MS Office™ and instant messaging applications.
  • Reporting and archiving: All conferencing activity and data is always available for analysis.

The flexible MeetingConnect appliance is compatible with all enterprise IT and telephony environments, and supports audio conferencing using TDM and/or VoIP technologies.

MeetingConnect appliances connect directly to legacy telephone systems via E1/T1 lines or to a VoIP telephone system via the corporate network.
