Our
outsourcing services for audio conferencing provide
consistent operation and management of your audio networks
within your unique environment. |
Audio
conferencing outsourcing can generally be accomplished two
ways.
- Work
with an outside service provider to host teleconference
calls on an external network.
- Work
with a vendor as an inside service provider on your own
network and with your own equipment.
There
are advantages and disadvantages to both methods of outsourcing.
Below is a brief overview of the differences between the
two:
Outside
Service Providers
- Advantages:
Outside
service providers can enable an organization to begin
teleconferencing on a small or large scale very quickly
and with little capital outlay. The service provider will
provide all network connections, account ID's, passwords,
billing and helpdesk support. New technology and upgrades
to systems are the responsibility of the service provider.
- Disadvantages:
Low certainty of confidentiality on the teleconferences.
The network, equipment and helpdesk staff are all owned
by the outside company and therefore, there is little
assurance that any teleconference is secure. Price changes
in network services, features and capacities are influenced
by the outside vendor.
Inside Service Providers
- Advantages:
High level of service and confidentiality for teleconferences
because the vendor provides services from the organization's
own network and equipment. No outside systems are used.
Quality measures can be easily monitored and reported.
Technology and upgrades to systems are the responsibility
of the vendor acting within the organization as a service
provider. Costs are known and generally constant with
few surprises.
- Disadvantages:
Up to eight weeks may be required to enable teleconferencing
capability within an organization; this is including time
required for designing the network and installing teleconferencing
equipment. Initial cost of equipment is higher than if
an outside service organization were used.
In
general, most organizations outsource their audio conferencing
either by paying a fee each time they use an outside vendor's
teleconference network or by purchasing equipment themselves
and contracting with an organization to manage the systems,
passwords, user ID's and helpdesk. TKO offers both pay-as-you-go
and inside vendor teleconferencing outsourcing.
