Copper Conferencing Announces Nationwide On Demand Local Dial-In Audio Conferencing
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Local Dial-In Helps Reduce the Cost of Conference Calls
Denver, CO and Atlanta, GA — March 31, 2010 — Copper Conferencing today announced the launch of nationwide local dial-in connections to its On Demand reservationless audio conferencing service. Local dial-in numbers are available in over 100 major cities in the U.S. offering customers a way to connect conference calls at a reduced cost.
“Copper has always been committed to finding ways for its customers to reduce the overall cost of a conference call,” said Carolyn Bradfield, CEO of Copper Conferencing. “Providing local dial-in numbers in addition to toll-free access allows customers to choose how they enter an On Demand audio conference call and enables the customer to control the cost of their conference calls each time they use a local dial-in number.”
An analysis of the thousands of Copper Conferencing customers revealed individuals participating in conference calls generally start or dial in to phone meetings from an office location with 70% of call leaders initiating their conference calls from the same location every time. This study, along with an analysis of the top business markets in the United States, lead Copper to secure local access numbers in 100 key metropolitan areas.
“A customer has a number of ways to determine if his or her city has a local access number,” Bradfield added. “The customer can enter an area code or zip code in the Local Dial-In Locator on the Copper website and the application will identify the local number for that area. If no local number is available, the customer can always use their Copper toll-free access number.”
The announcement of local dial-in services complements Copper Conferencing’s recent upgrades to its On Demand audio conferencing service including additional call controls, new security features, sub-conferencing capabilities and the ability to add personalized greetings to each call as well as the addition of listen and recording download access to conference call recordings via Connect To Copper™, Copper’s powerful online customer portal. In February, Copper Conferencing expanded its web conferencing offering with industry-leading web conferencing services Adobe Connect Pro, Microsoft Live Meeting and Cisco WebEx, all of which are integrated with Copper’s On Demand audio conferencing.
