<p>The Live Call/Dynamic Screen is now available for use on Apple&#8217;s top selling iPhone! Clients moderating calls from the road without access to a computer can have the same controls as if you were sitting in your office. You can just pick up and go, even if your conference isn&#8217;t over.</p>
<p>Not only is our state of the art Live Call Screen available, but so are all administrative functions of the AccuConference customer site. Check your balance, schedule conferences, add new users, and manage all aspects of your AccuConference account. Teleconferencing has always been a solution of convenience. Now, let it take you even further with complete mobility.</p>
<p>&#8220;Clients can now access from anywhere,&#8221; said VP of Operations, David Byrd, &#8220;We try to be the best and keep up with the changes. iPhones are incredibly popular because of their accessibility, so why shouldn&#8217;t we be trying to provide that to our clients?&#8221;</p>
<p>With the new accessibility and technology, we hope to open another door that will make our services easier to access for all our clients &#8211; including those of you who are on-the-go.</p>

Now, users can pre-load their proprietary chart of accounts to the system. The code entered by a call facilitator can be validated against this master list, ensuring that only valid codes are entered. A valid code must be entered for the call to proceed. The resulting benefit is that all call activity will be traceable to authorized accounting entities for more effective and efficient management of company costs.<br />
Two other refined reporting capabilities include the option to require the entry of multiple accounting codes prior to call initiation as well as the ability to create expiring accounting codes which are valid only for a specified time period. Both of these features are easily set up with just a few keystrokes.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our customers are priority number one. If you need it, we will build it. We want our product and service offerings to reflect the dynamic needs of our client base. Our goal is to offer them flexibility as their businesses grow,&#8221; says Rob Anderson, VP of Product and Development. &#8220;Creating the accounting code validation option was something our customers needed to effectively run their businesses. We made it happen.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The accounting code validation option is just one of many fine features offered by AccuConference. Their products feature amenities such as reservationless 24/7 access, automated recording and playback, ability to view and control participant actions on audio or web conferences and dynamic application sharing, to name just a few.</p>
<p>World-class products combined with high quality customer service makes AccuConference the leader among communication services providers. High standards of quality and performance make it the only choice when it comes to selecting audio and web conferencing solutions.</p>

<p>Customers can use recordings made on the Accuconference conference call bridge, or they may send other recorded files, which are easily uploaded to the tree structure.

This is especially important when making conference calls accessible to clients, customers, vendors and others outside the company.</p>
<p>The Playback Tree is the perfect delivery mechanism for providing pre-recorded marketing messages, informational recordings, and recordings of meetings or training sessions. With convenient 24/7 access and a simple audio menu, anyone including employees, customers and even prospects, can listen to conference calls when they want.</p>

The Playback Tree offers our customers flexibility that helps them meet their needs around the clock,” says Rob Anderson. “Easy set up, customization and simplified access make this another powerful tool to help them run their businesses more efficiently and effectively.”</p></blockquote>

<p>AccuConference, provider of Audio and <a href="http://www.easycallconference.com/web-conference.shtml" target="_blank" title="Web conferencing">Web conferencing</a> technologies, has released a free downloadable tool that makes the forgotten conference call a thing of the past. Their new <a href="http://www.easycallconference.com/outlook-plugin.shtml" title="Outlook plugin">Outlook plugin</a> allows moderators to automatically remind conference-goers of the time, topic, call-in numbers, and conference codes to use.</p>
<p>And the plugin works with any conferencing system, not just their own. With a few clicks, the plugin will issue an e-mail and an Outlook calendar reminder item to the participants registered for the conference call. Additional features allow for one-click visits to support web sites associated with the conference.</p>
<blockquote><p>“We consider this tool our free gift to the teleconferencing world,” says Jim Black, AccuConference president. “Anyone can download the plugin from our website and use it for free, regardless of what company handles their conferencing.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Mitch Meyerson, an author and marketing expert who has run thousands of hours of teleclasses, says conferencing is a much-needed tool and one that will save money and professional reputations.</p>
<p>“Entrepreneurs and companies spend a lot of money on meetings and trainings – sometimes upwards of thousands of dollars per person – only to miss classes,” he says. “People get so overwhelmed with information and input that they lose track of time or get distracted with e-mail or phone calls.”</p>
<p>Those costs can add up quickly in today’s business world where corporations and small businesses alike rely on teleconferencing to sidestep travel complications related to terror incidents and surging gas prices. With the conferencing industry expected to reach $5 billion in 2007, according to the market analyst firm Wainhouse Research, revenues lost to the industry by forgotten conference calls are substantial.</p>
<p>Christian Nys, a Phoenix, Ariz. entrepreneur who frequently attends high-dollar teleseminars, says he’s among the guilty who play “conference call hooky.”</p>
<p>“I don’t know how many times I’ve been late for a conference call, but it’s too many. About 10% of the time I forget about them completely,” he says. “When your career depends on being reliable, mistakes like this one can’t be repeated too often.”</p>
<p>Black says the tool is just one of many his company has created based on customer feedback.</p>
<blockquote><p>“We genuinely enjoy introducing new innovations based on what our customers say they need,” says Black. “Making this tool free to download was one small way of giving back to the world, in the spirit of our <a href="http://www.easycallconference.com/non-profit-conference.shtml">Get Connected</a> program, which provides 50% off audio and web conferencing for nonprofits, schools and universities.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The company’s services include desktop control of conference calls, free recording, toll-free and flat-rate plans, and international calling at no extra surcharge to more than 30 countries. They also provide web conferencing with PowerPoint, application sharing, video, polling and online participant chats.</p>
