In 70% of audioconference calls, paper documents are sent to participants before the call starts. Dataconferencing replaces paper with computing power. Following are several situations in which conference calls are supplemented with documents: •  The national sales manager sends out a preliminary forecast to the regional sales offices. Sales personnel in all offices use a conference call to discuss the forecast and make necessary changes. •  Two corporations and their attorneys are located in four different cities. One of the parties drafts a contract and sends it overnight to the others. They hold a conference call to discuss and make changes to the contract. •  A company releases a new version of its software. A class on the new software includes a PC-based presentation highlighting the product changes. The company sends a printed copy of the presentation to remote locations and conducts an audioconference to review the material. In each of these situations, an audioconference call focuses around a document and could be enhanced with dataconferencing. Dataconferencing is a virtual connection between two or more computers where: •  All computers in the conference display a common graphical image to text, graphics, or a combination of both. •  Each computer in the conference displays any changes to the common image in near real-time. •  Participants have the ability to interact with the displayed document.
