So why not Skype?... it's Free!

For those of you who know me, you know that I am a self confessed nerd. For those of you who don't... Pulling me away from a computer task is more difficult than a tadpole trying to play leapfrog; Someday it will happen, but you're going to need some patience.

Ok enough bad humour aside, I'm in the communication business and even I use Skype.

So what is so bad about Skype?

WHO IS SKYPE?
Skype was created by entrepreneurs Niklas Zennström, Janus Friis, and a team of software developers based in Tallinn, Estonia. The Skype Group has its headquarters in Luxembourg, with offices in London, Tallinn, Tartu, Stockholm, Prague, and San Jose. Skype has experienced rapid growth in popular usage since the launch of its services. It was acquired by eBay in September 2005 for $2.6 billion.

Sounds pretty good right?

So what is the difference between Skype and a Professional Business Conferencing Company? Let's look at the differences below...

SAFETY & SECURITY - Your conversation is safe and secure!
Skype: "Bridging" could be anywhere... even in Zennstrom or Friis' basement as there is no regulation, and for the user, no security.
Momentum Conferencing: Our bridges are in Telco vaults (high security access rooms). 99% Of our employees cannot even access them.

Skype: Depending on where you are, your calls may or may not be reported to governing agencies
Momentum Conferencing: You will never have a report on a call made through our bridges, as we do not report to a governing agency.

EASE OF USE
Skype: Download their software, store your numbers, talk/chat/video.
Momentum Conferencing: No software to download; Get started in minutes; Host meetings where you can actually collaborate in real time.

Skype: Call drops and bad quality are common.
Momentum Conferencing: While the internet is not perfect, when something does go wrong, we have monitoring systems in place and are probably working to correct an issue before you even go to pick up your phone and call us.
