Our Strengths
Conferencing is our only business! We have perfected our high-quality,
reliable, and simple-to-use services to ensure that you can focus on your
meeting, not on our technology
We provide expert Account Managers who will work with your team to
provide on-going training, call planning and preparation, and account
reviews to analyze usage, review service levels, and develop action
plans where appropriate
ConferencePlus is large enough to handle the scalability requirements
of the largest telecoms, yet small enough to care about developing oneon-one business relationships with our clients
Our financial stability sets us apart in a market space plagued by
financial and corporate instability
