There are some voice conferences that seem never to fall into a comfortable rhythm no matter how many courtesy pauses you offer the folks on the other end. The problem could be clarity or lag, but somehow a monkey wrench seems to find its way into too many would-be productive sessions. Why cant we seem to master this intuitive technology?

Chances are the real culprit is a combination of fidelity, processing power and poor planning. This is why so many top companies are switching their voice conferences from those copper twist dinosaurs to a medium made for instant communication: the World Wide Web. Only with a comprehensive collaborative workspace can you talk clearly, without delay, while pulling up common documents for scrutiny on both ends.

Voice Conferences: Beat the Lag
Voice over IP protocol is a new way to carry speech in digital form. If youve followed the news in the last year, you know a few bright young companies have mastered the technology necessary to keep everyone talking over traditional phone lines without a millisecond of lag. What you may not know is that such outstanding technology is now embedded in more fully-featured software that allows you to do a lot more than just talk.

See where business is heading. Bold advances in application sharing and voice conferences mean that old tripod phone will soon go back to the dust heap where it belongs. These days the best meetings in long-range partnership are happening right here on the Web.
