Introduction Intraphone and teleconferencing
For many years large corporate users of telephony
services ( tele conferencing)have seen their costs escalate as sales forced and tactical
teams become increasingly global. With the development of virtually
universal broadband connectivity opportunities exist to address these
cost areas by utilising the strength of the digital service within
worldwide broadband. Intraphone is a product developed to specifically
attack this corporate requirement and, at the Same time, offer
alternative and cheaper global communication systems to individuals.
Intraphone has been developed to utilise
broadband services globally to provide a easy to use, manageable and
relevant communications systems which address the needs of corporate
customers (audio conferencing, tele-conferencing, video conference calling,
manageable billing systems) and also provide a real alternative for the
general public who regularly make international calls.
From it’s management centre in Lucerne
Intraphone now manages the communications of 18 major world
corporations by supplying the Intraphone software and usable credits in
disc form to their international teams.
As all of the credit used is pre-paid the
companies can manage their telephony spend and, through the detailed
calling analysis that the system provides their telephony managers they
can ensure that their teams make the most effective use of their time
and communications window's .
Launched 16 months ago Intraphone is a corporate
rival (at a very real level) to Skype and also has capabilities for the
general public that make it more friendly to use than skype. The
pre-paid discs (as opposed to Skype's system of buying credits on-line)
work better for the corporate market and the universal acceptance of
prepaid communications systems in telephony worldwide made it easily
acceptable.
From it's launch at the New York Technology Fair
in 2005 the product has seem steady but impressive growth. Over 12
million minutes of Intraphone time are now purchased every month and
its 30 man team of technical and billing support staff are planned to
expand to 100 by the end of this year. Plans are also in hand to create
a dedicated US support team as the product is showing exponential
growth in that market; as yet the product is not available to southern
hemisphere markets but, again, plans are in hand.
It seems clear that skype will become the
strength in this market for individuals but it has little, if any,
attraction to the corporate market. Intraphone has been specifically
targeted at that market and has the utilities, protocols and data
management functionality that the corporate market needs.
The opportunity to create market share is now,
using broadband telephony is in its early stages but all technical
projections suggest it will be the method of choice for international
phone and conferencing within 2 years ... Intraphone will be at the
forefront of that expansion.
From the moment that a new Intraphone customer
inserts the disc, loads up the software and registers their credits
they have access to real people who can help them; not only that but
where conferencing calls involve major video requirements the
Intraphone staff can sit in the middle with advanced video conferencing
functionality that works no matter where the participants are. Put
simply, Intraphone provides the personal touches that encourage the use
of this new highly flexible technology by companies whose staff may be
spread across the planet by ensuring that those staff have real time
help and assistance.
Put simply Intraphone combines an innovative
technology which can allow you to participate in a meeting while you
are on the train, in your hotel room or sat in the park, with a
personal help system that gives staff the confidence to use it.
