LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17  -- Lotus Interworks has put their patent-pending telecommunications technology into production with the launch of All Conferencing's Phone Reminder service.

The free add-on service helps businesses improve meeting attendance. Tardy conference attendees are a significant source of lost productivity, not to mention the frustration on the part of those who are punctual. Dr. B. Gopinath, president of Lotus Interworks said, "By issuing phone reminders close to the start of conferences, using Lotus Interworks technology, All Conferencing customers will benefit from increased attendance at their teleconferences." The Phone Reminder upgrade has already been added to the service package of thousands of companies, including over 400 law firms.

When a Phone Reminder is set, each attendee receives a phone or SMS alert before the scheduled meeting time. An easy-to-use interface guides the host through setting up the meeting time and adding the contact information for each person, up to 96 participants. Messages can be sent at a variety of time periods prior to the conference start, using a standard or personalized greeting.

Founded in 1999, All Conferencing is a Lotus Interworks company dedicated solely to providing affordable and feature-rich audio, video and web conference services to business customers, both large and small. All Conferencing is the only conferencing service that provides clients with instant access to its full portfolio of products as soon as a client registers, making conferences available within minutes, instead of days. All services are offered a-la-carte, with no monthly contracts and low rates that make conferencing an option for businesses of all sizes.
