Web conferences offer a virtual alternative to traditional meetings, conducted seamlessly over the internet. Participants can engage with PowerPoint presentations, review documents, utilize interactive on-screen graphics, and even conduct polls or display collaborative results in real-time. This eliminates travel, lowering carbon emissions and helping to fight global warming.
Tele-efficiency, with its Conferenceware service, stands out in the web conferencing industry by integrating with Outlook for easy scheduling and contact invitations, and Skype for voice over IP connectivity. Conferenceware also offers a free audio conferencing service, providing access numbers in North America and Europe, and even free calls through Skype.
Forrester reports a significant 28% annual growth in the web conferencing market over the past five years, projecting continued expansion to $2.8 billion annually. While webinars are well-known, eMeeting applications are expected to experience substantial growth, particularly among multi-site organizations and associations that prioritize knowledge sharing.
Traditional web conferencing costs are often based on per-minute and per-participant rates, which can become expensive. Conferenceware distinguishes itself by offering a free 30-day trial, followed by fixed-rate quarterly or annual contracts with unlimited meetings. Businesses leveraging web conferences can substantially reduce travel expenses and enhance meeting synergy, as meetings can be held instantly, regardless of location.

Featuring a customizable interface available in multiple languages, businesses can brand Conferenceware with their own image and logo, fostering cultural exchange and international collaboration.

Furthermore, events like potential avian flu epidemics underscore the importance of web conferencing as a vital component of business continuity strategies.
