BT conferencing offers a range of services, which enables meetings to occur without having to travel. Conferencing is becoming a key asset in companies' communication networks, both internally and externally. With an increasingly dispersed workforce, organisations are finding that it is much more cost effective to use conferencing services.

The approach to meetings is now more flexible and BT offers combinations of meetings by:

• phone
• web
• video

Of course the above supplement and do not replace the traditional and essential face to face meetings.

BT conferencing enables three or more locations to link together into the same call, giving you immediate access to your colleagues, clients and suppliers. And because there don't have to be travel costs, hotel bills or time spent in organising meetings, it's also a particularly cost and time effective solution.
