Unique Advantages Using Conferencing Direct...

1. Those you invite to your meeting NEVER have to pay.

The meeting room owner pays a flat-rate monthly fee. Service plans start as low as $39.95 per month, with UNLIMITED anytime minutes, for six participants (six seat room). Those you invite to your meeting NEVER have to pay!

2. Participants are NOT required to use the telephone.

Even with a 28.8 kbps Internet connection, you and your participants enjoy crystal clear audio through desktop speakers or headset.

3. This is the easiest to use web conferencing system ever built.

Conferencing Direct is easier to setup, access, and use than other services. The small, one-time software download is "self-reliant" - you won't spend hours of your time each week providing technical assistance to those you invite to your meetings.

As you might imagine, it's important that anyone, with even the most basic computer skills, can use the program without being required to download huge upgrade files such as Java, Flash, Windows Media, Real Audio or upgrade to a specific web browser.

With Conferencing Direct, all components required to run your virtual meeting room are contained in the small software package. Everyone's a success!

4. Conferencing Direct. is true "hosted" web conferencing, not peer to peer.

A hosted model allows for increased security, much greater scalability in terms of numbers of guests, plus firewall detection and avoidance. There are greater security concerns when compared to a hosted technology. The two machines are connected directly to each other, exposing both party's IP address to the other. Peer to peer technology can not scale to large numbers of meeting participants. A few people
attending one session is enough to clog the host's line to the Internet.

5. There are no costly "per minute" or "per user" fee's.

Many popular web conferencing services cost $65, $100, $150 dollars or more "per month", "per user". For example: a web conference room for 6 participants x $65 would cost you $390 per month. Other companies bill you at $.15 to $.39 "per minute" for each person (user) in your conference room.

Your Savings Can Be Significant!
Using other services, at $.15 per minute, a 6 person meeting will cost $54 per hour! Conferencing Direct completely eliminates these outrageous monthly fees.

Conferencing Direct- Unlimited Minutes - 30 Days - $39.95.

You get unlimited minutes starting as low as $39.95 per month for a 6 seat room. Those you invite to your meeting NEVER have to pay!

10. How does Conferencing Direct web meeting technology compare with Skype?

A. Skype™ employs a peer-to-peer system. This means that it is not a reliable tool for audio meetings with more than 2 or 3 people. Skype™ cannot support large numbers of people in a single conference because it does not have the stability and security of a "centralized" conference server.

When you use Conferencing Direct, you can hold web-meetings in a stabile, secure environment because it is NOT peer-to-peer.

B. Skype™ audio (VoIP) requires 5 kb/sec. A dial-up Internet connection, on average, can only handle 3 kb/sec. This means constant audio break-up, significant delays, and frequent disconnections.

Conferencing Direct compresses your audio (VoIP) to just 1.7 kb/sec. Now everyone using a dial-up connection can enjoy reliable audio communication. In addition, they can use text chat, live video, white board, application sharing, and integrated co-browsing features at the same time.

C. Skype™ requires a 6.4 mb software download; Conferencing Direct is only 1.44 mb.

D. With Skype™, your meetings are limited to voice and text chat capabilities.

Conferencing Direct gives you an all-in-one web meeting room with tools and features that allow you to communicate sight, sound, motion and most importantly, EMOTION with up to 100 people at the same time!

Conferencing Direct completely integrates voice over IP (VoIP), co-browsing, text messaging, White Board, and Live Desktop sharing, all in one easy-to-use Windows application!
