Phone Conference Call Glossary and Terms
Submitted by xpedite on Sat, 2009-07-11 07:45

Here is a brief list of many of the terms used in the conference call business:
800 Conferencing: A conference service that provides a toll free dial in number for conference participants.
Audio Conference: A meeting over the phone that accommodates three or more people.
Auto Hang Up: An optional feature that disconnects everyone from the conference when the last moderator hangs up the phone.
Conferee (also known as Participant, Guest): A person who accepts an invitation to join and participate in a phone conference.
Dial In Number: The phone number used to access the conference bridge. Everyone -- moderators and participants -- dial the same dial-in number.
Entry Tone (also known as beeps): Small sound alerts that indicate when someone has entered or left a conference. This is an optional feature.
Flat Rate Conferencing: A conferencing service plan that provides unlimited conference service at anytime for a fixed monthly rate.
Lecture Mode: Enables the moderator to mute all the participants, except for those who called into the conference using the moderator's PIN code.
Moderator (also known as Host, Leader): The person(s) who leads the conference. Moderators usually invites participants, set the agenda and can control the technical aspects of the conference through telephone keypad commands. For example, muting the conference participants so only the moderators can be heard.
Music on Hold: An optional feature that plays music for those who dial into the conference before the moderator arrives. This feature is used to prevent the actual start of the conference until the moderator gets there.
Muting: The simple process of silencing participants to enable moderators to speak without interruption or distracting background noise.
Name Announce: An optional conferencing feature that records a participants name and then replays it to everyone when entering the conference.
Passcode (also known as PIN code): A confidential 7 digit number that allows access to a conference bridge. Usually, conference moderators have one passcode, and conference participants have another passcode. The moderator passcode code enables control of the conference with such features as muting.
Pay As You Go Conferencing: A program that bills conferencing usage on a per minute basis, without contracts and minimum requirements. You only pay for what you use.
Reservationless Conferencing (also known as on-demand or unattended conferencing): A conferencing service that is available at anytime, without the need for reservations or operator assistance.

Starting to put your bid package together for your corporate conference call services? Be sure to include us on your bid list. Our mailing address: 24Conference.com, 504 Morgan Drive, Lewiston, NY 14092. In the fast changing conferencing world, it's always good to rebid services every couple of years.
Technology and the playing field is always changing, and chances are, you'll be able to get better service at a lower price by conference call services bidding. In fact, because of new technology and billing plans, your specs may not reflect the latest developments. In other words, your specs may not include some of the biggest advantages you can accrue. For example, most corporations mistakenly ask for "per minute" pricing on their bid sheets. That's fine, but why not solicit flat rates for unlimited usage as well? For larger users, the days of per minute pricing are long gone. Companies converting to flat rate billing have seen dramatic reduction in their conference costs. So just don't blow the dust off the old bidding specs. Do a little homework and write your specs to reflect the latest advances. That way, you'll be able to cut costs, improve services and take advantage of the stiff competition that exists in today's conferencing industry.
