Audio Conferencing Services Market Drivers
Telephones are widely accessible
These days a number of offices provide a dedicated line for every employee. In addition to email and instant messaging, this is one of the ways to contact them should their services be needed. One can’t always shoot an email if there is need for asking a question through the phone. When the entire testing team calls in and the entire development team joins in to answer their queries, it is an example of a simple conference call within one building between teams. This is time saving because developers could be at their station looking at the program and the testers could be at the lab testing the software. This is expected to boost the market growth.
Multiple parties can participate in a discussion
These days the telephone systems enable callers to call more than one person. This becomes especially useful when each person is in different locations around the city, state or even the world. This sort of conversation in businesses that have multiple locations is quite normal. One company for instance has offices in Richmond, Atlanta and Cebu (Philippines). Although colleagues are geographically separated, they may still get together to discuss a project’s particulars. All they need to do is set a date where it’s most convenient to have a conversation with all of them. Some firms also have part of their team located in a different country, and when the project manager wants to get details about what has been accomplished, they can set up a conference call between the two. This gives every member an opportunity to inform about their progress or what is stopping them. One of the major factors driving the audio conferencing services market is expected to be rising demands for a reliable, cost-effective, and multi-party communication establishment solution coupled with increasing travel costs.
