Dear Ms. Fletcher:
Thank you for giving Forrest Communication Services opportunity to contribute to the magazine article. That you are writing about Web conferencing for Workplace Monthly Magazine. My specialty here at Forest Communication is conferencing services for North America.
Online meetings are definitely becomming more frequent. Web conferencing began in the 1990's, but it has grown rapidly in the 2000's. Many companys find that such meeting save time and money. Participants can hold live, interactive meetings arid share documents and presentations. Without ever leaving their offices or homes. Web conferencing is simply more convenient then having to attend meeting in person. Let me summarize a few Web conferencing feature:
• Participant ID. This feature displays on your screen the name of all attendee's and indicates who is talking over the phone line.
• PowerPoints/Document Sharring. Presenters can show batchs of Web-based visuals and describe them by talking on the telephone.
• Polling/Surveys. A virtual "show of hands" can speed consensus and shorten a meeting. Many users consider this feature one of the real luxurys of Web conferencing.
Businessmen and businesswoman from countrys around the world are turning to Web conferances because of the many plus's and few minus's. Do you plan to discuss the pro's and con's of conferencing in your article? Our Web site has a list of FAQ's that you might find interesting. I would be happy to provide more information if you call me at [phone].
