There are two types of conference calling options used by most businesses today. The two options include audio-only types of calls or video conference calls. Both are great options, with many companies requiring both based on the type of virtual meeting.
When choosing a telecom company to provide conference call services for any Dallas business, taking the time to consider what your business requires is an important first step. Make a list of the features and functions that are the “must have” items as well as those features that are not critical but that are considered desirable by your staff.
Top conference call services should be able to fill all of the “must have” items as well as the vast majority, if not all, of the highly desirable features. To get started, here are some of the essential questions to answer before shopping for a service.
Number of Meeting and Attendees
Depending on the size and type of meetings, a company in Dallas may need conference calling on a daily basis or just occasionally. The more frequently the conference calls are required, the more important it is to use a system in the company and not rely on a third-party conference call app or service.
The number of attendees to conference calls is also important to know. The larger the number of attendees, the more bandwidth the system requires. Additionally, ensuring the system is easy to use even for those not comfortable with technology should be a consideration.
Ability to Work with Older Technology
Some businesses may have existing technology within the phone systems and wish to integrate this technology into the new conference call services. Asking the provider about the option to integrate technology and if this creates limitations on the service is essential to know before making a choice.
