Web Collaboration Conferencing

The Department of Information Services (DIS) now offers a new web collaboration conferencing service that allows groups to hold conferences without traveling, an important service at a time when budget constraints inhibit travel.

Our state-of-the-art technology combines voice conferencing and web collaboration into a single user-friendly package. It allows attendees to view materials from their desktop while participating in a voice conference.

Benefits

Web collaboration gives a conference moderator or presenter a powerful set of tools to produce effective presentations.

DIS customers have the option of self-scheduling conferences or holding conferences that are fully scheduled and managed by the state operators. Self-scheduling is accomplished via a subscribed, secure web portal, while scheduling by state operators is organized through a simple phone call.
