2 Instant results HiPath Xpressions Compact includes a conference server that makes carrying out conference calls particularly quick and easy. In many cases, you can get things done in just one conversation, as the conference server brings all participants to one "table". Each employee has his or her own "telephone conference room" in HiPath Xpressions Compact. As necessary, he or she can invite all those involved in an issue to the conference call. The participants either dial in directly or are called automatically and join the conference. Better than a regular phone call A conference call has enormous advantages over a series of individual calls. It allows everyone to contribute his or her points and clarify issues immediately; after the call, everyone is equally up to date. Faster than meetings Conference calls are usually a better alternative to conventional meetings. For example, they can be scheduled on much shorter notice, as everyone can take part by phone from wherever they happen to be. Saves costs The HiPath Xpressions Compact Conference Server fits even tight budgets. Not only does it eliminate travel expenses, it does not incur any service charges. Having your own conference server in-house makes you independent of services and free of any time or usage restrictions. Because communication becomes so much easier, intensive use is "pre-programmed." This saves costs on a regular basis. Easy to use To initiate a conference call, all a person needs to do is call his or her conference room from his or her extension, mobile phone or another phone. The optional control via web browser offers enhanced convenience with a display of the list of participants and additional functions such as disconnect, mute and adding individual participants. The ability to save lists of participants allows you to repeat regular conferences at the click of a mouse. Where secretaries are used to connecting calls on behalf of others, nothing changes. Instead of a one-on-one call, they simply transfer a completely set-up conference with all participants present. Guests who dial in themselves join a conference after entering the conference room number and any necessary access code. The dialing-in process is self-explanatory and requires only a touch-tone phone. Green communication When travel is made unnecessary, this saves CO 2 emissions. Therefore, conference calls including participants in different places are an active contribution to climate improvement. Overview of participants The typical question - Who is already here? - at the beginning of a telephone conference is unnecessary. The person who extends the invitations can see all participants at a glance. His or her web browser shows who is (already) connected and who is not. When someone is absent In the real world, it is not uncommon for individual conference participants to be absent. For example, someone misses the appointment, or the need for him or her to participate does not arise until after the conference is underway. In conventional solutions, adding participants usually requires creativity and disturbs the conference that is in progress. With the HiPath Xpressions Compact Conference Server, on the other hand, the conference leader can add desired participants simply by clicking a mouse with or without talking to them one-on-one first. Recording binding information To make a record of a summary or task distribution, the conference leader can start recording the call at any time. The recording is sent to his or her voice mail or inbox, and can later be forwarded easily to all those involved. That way nothing gets lost.

3 Extremely useful Coordination for field staff With the HiPath Xpressions Compact Conference Server, regular field staff meetings with employees at different locations and on the road can be held quickly and easily. The participants are not kept from their regular duties unnecessarily, and need only their telephone. Expertise when talking to customers Employees who need support from colleagues (such as their boss, specialist, management assistant) when talking to customers simply invite them to their conference room. Open questions are resolved faster and decisions are made earlier. Service scheduling Regular or backup scheduling in administrative offices, health care, emergency services, etc., can be done most efficiently in a conference call. Not only are the schedules available more quickly, they are better suited to individual needs. Managing projects Projects with multiple participants, such as trades persons and suppliers, usually require precise coordination. It is difficult to juggle appointments for inperson meetings, but easy to schedule conference calls on short notice. No one is taken away from their regular duties or incurs travel expenses.
