Inside ASI-AP

I attended my Sonexis training session this week that was given by Steven in our US IT team. Sonexis is our telephone and web conferencing system that we own inhouse, and that is integrated into our IP phone system. It means that when we use it, we do not have to pay per minute charges like we do when we use Webex.

Note that we will still be using Webex for all public webcasts. Sonexis should be used for all other conferencing requirements.

The browser-based interface for web conferencing is very similar to Webex, with similar functionality - most importantly application sharing.

What grabbed my attention though was how easy it is to setup a telephone conference. You can start an instant telephone conference by dialling x8100 from any of our IP phones (or from dialling into the auto-attendant), enter your conference ID (same as your extension number) and your PIN, and you are prompted to become a host and start a conference call right away. Others can then call in by dialling x8100 and then entering your conference ID. Simple and quick as that!
