Integrated Conferencing Solutions
Hosted IP-based collaboration platforms for smaller or emerging market CSPs
It's an opportune time for up-and-coming conferencing service providers to deploy collaboration solutions based on VoIP architectures. Early adopters amongst the Conferencing Service Providers (CSPs) have demonstrated the benefits and cost-efficiencies of these technologies in large hosted conferencing deployments. Now is the time for smaller or emerging market CSPs still operating legacy TDM audio bridges to embrace IP-based audio conferencing platforms, and capture your fair share of the growing hosted collaboration market opportunity.

- Understand the trends and key requirements for business customers using hosted conferencing services, and how traditional TDM audio bridges are not keeping up.
- Learn how IP-based conferencing platforms not only deliver cost-efficiencies in hosted conferencing services, but they also offer the flexibility to seamlessly integrate into collaboration processes and communication behaviours of your target markets.
- Understand the equipment and features required in entry-level systems to get you started, with the scalability to grow, or add video and web collaboration capabilities.
- Collaboration Service Providers (CSPs) – executives, product managers, and network architects interested in migrating their legacy audio bridge infrastructure to VoIP platforms.
- Business Consumers of Hosted Collaboration Services – executives, IS/IT managers, and telecommunication specialists who purchase hosted collaboration services.
