Letter from Bob Wise
VP of Marketing and Strategic Business Development

According to the Air Transport Association, November 21-January 3 is the busiest travel time of the year. More than 2.5 million passengers flew the day before Thanksgiving and it's anticipated over 2 million will fly the week before Christmas (you can bet that many of them will leave the office early to board their flights).

However, business doesn’t stop during these months, and just because you’re not in the office doesn’t mean you’re not working. It’s no surprise that the biggest travel days of the year are also big days for conferencing. Proof of this is at the airport. If you stop to look around, you’ll see hundreds of mobile workers starting and taking conference calls.

One of the biggest complaints we hear from mobile workers is that it’s inconvenient to remember dial-in numbers and conference codes. During these busy days, employees look to mobile applications to simplify this process. For example, if you use InterCall's Mobile Assistant (http://mobile.intercall.com), you can access your meetings from your mobile phone or organize your dial-in numbers and passcodes for several meetings while on the road.

There has also been a lot of attention paid recently to problems with flight delays and cancellations. While we can’t do anything to help with your flight connections, we can make sure that you’re able to still connect to get business done when you’re stranded. Make sure your wallet card is with you when you travel, and you’ll be able to get into your Reservationless-Plus^® or web conferencing services anytime. And if you need help, we’ll have our operators and customer service on staff 24/7, as always.

In closing, my holiday wish to you this season:

May your flights be on time, may you have plenty of overhead storage bin space and may you sit behind kind people who don’t recline their seats all the way.

Happy Travels!

Bob Wise
