Web Conferencing that works

With all the new startup Web conferencing services out there it’s getting even more difficult to figure out which services the best. I guess that really just depends on what’s most important to you. Maybe stop and think about that for a minute and write down a few key points as to what is the most important in a Web conferencing service. I just don’t mean features, I also mean what level of service or reliability do you want? If these conferences are critical to your business you better think about this. What’s it worth to you? What will it cost you if the service doesn’t work the way you wanted to or crashes right in the middle of a conference? Yes, Web conferencing services like Microsoft Live Meeting and WebEx cost more, but you can expect the reliability from the services. Quite often that old saying that goes “you get what you pay for” applies. I hope I’ve given you something to think about today.

Emergency Voice Broadcast

We recently contracted with the City of Nanaimo for an emergency broadcast voice message system. Last year due to heavy rainfall it created turbidity in the local water supply with the potential of a possible water contamination. A boil water warning was issued to the citizens of Nanaimo via the local radio, TV and newspaper as well as being posted on the city’s website. Unfortunately there was still a large portion of the city that never received the message to boil their water prior to drinking it. Fortunately from what I understand the issue turned out not to be as serious as it could have been.

The Message Impact Voice Broadcast system will be able to notify all 30,000 households in less than an hour via telephone to let them know of any critical emergency issue. The speed of the telephone communications will be key in an effective emergency notification service for the city. Messages can be delivered personally when individuals answer the phone or can simply being left as a voice mail or on an answering machine message.
