Ascendent Conferencing allows enterprise users the freedom to conduct quick and secure conferences from any location or device at a fraction of the cost of hosted services. Ascendent Conferencing eliminates the need for third-party conference initiators or administrators to setup, schedule, or moderate conference calls and gives users full control. Conferencing services can be conducted independently while leveraging the underlying Ascendent Voice Mobility Suite and voice services to instantly assemble teams, share information, make intelligent decisions, and immediately impact business operations. Customers can realize significant savings and increased productivity using any of the following three conferencing options:

• Join Me Conferencing
  Individually conference-in another party to an existing conversation.
  
• Meet Me Conferencing
  Schedules a conference with automatic email notification of call-in numbers and associated security pass codes.
  
• Get Me Conferencing
  Automatically calls all participants of a "Personal Conference Group" in real time for ad-hoc or scheduled meetings. Eliminates the need to remember dial-in numbers and passcodes.
