Immediate Benefits
An in-house conferencing solution adds flexibility without the usual cost for an external conferencing service. Now every user can have a personal conference bridge with sufficient capacity to schedule ad-hoc meetings whenever needed. It is now easy and seamless to start a conversation with chat and then seamlessly escalate into a conference call. Participants are invited automatically and the moderator controls the conference using a Web browser or from a smartphone while on the road.
The openUCTM conferencing solution is all software based and does not require any additional hardware. It scales to large deployments and a significant number of conferencing ports, distributed over several servers if necessary. It supports high definition (HD) audio and also facilitates video conferencing. It can be deployed as a centralized conferencing solution in a large corporation, offered as a service (CaaS), or distributed to different offices or regions, all centrally managed for lowest operating cost. It can work as a standalone conferencing solution next to a legacy (IP) PBX, or as an integral part of an openUC solution.
