Conference Plus, a subsidiary of Westell Technologies and a provider of audio, web, webcasting and video conferencing services, has launched managed audio bridge service, which is an enterprise-wide audio conferencing offering for bridge installations over 500 ports that connect to customer’s existing VoIP or TDM networks.
The company claims that high-volume corporate conferencing users can gain optimisation and security benefits with audio bridge equipment installed on-site. It provides customers the benefits of on-site equipment along with the advantages of being a conferencing service provider (CSP) customer.
According to Conference Plus, the new offering also provides full remote management and maintenance of the on-site bridge and conferencing service with multiple service integration options and account team support.
The company said that all installations are available with the integration of Microsoft Office Live Meeting, WebEx Meeting Center and IBM LotusLive Meeting. These integrations include provisioning, audio control, roster integration and automatic archive management.
In addition, customers also have access to their own fully branded account dashboard web portal. The dashboard allows end users, executive administrators and site administrators full control over their subscriptions, scheduled conferences, usage summary and archives.
Greg Doerr, COO for ConferencePlus, said: Our Managed Audio Bridge Service provides a ‘best of both worlds’ solution for large enterprises who want their own on-site bridging equipment without the issues of self installation and management. The combined level of security and cost savings this solution offered made it a great fit for this customer. As these numerous benefits would apply to many large organisations, we foresee this segment of our business continuing to grow within this market.”
