All connections between users are on a client-2-server-architecture. This communication is encrypted.

Members accounts are password protected using bcrypt – 128-bit salt and encrypts a 192-bitvalue.

This is one of the most secure forms of encryption.

(A member cannot join a room they are not member of) 2FA will be added in the near future as an extra layer of security.

We work with incredible security partners Acsia.

Currently all of the data is being hosted in Amsterdam.

This applies to both personal user dataand VOIP/App data.

Voice data is a continuous stream of data which is not stored statically.

User data such as email etc. is stored and encrypted.

2FA will be added in the near future as an extra layer of security.

Trying out new conference call solutions is not just down to how great the tech is, it’s about buy in – after 100s of on-boarding sessions we’ve decided to share some success tactics:

Picking the right team to start

We suggest a team who is already working remotely is a great place to move the needle on digital collaboration.

Pick a good administrator

Picking an administrator who is going to invite everybody and manage uploads for meetings in advance of your calls is key to make sure everybody starts the right way.

Pick a meeting to replace

Make sure you have picked a meeting you are looking to replace – don’t add a new meeting to test, try it out with an existing process.

Schedule

Agree on schedule to test – scheduling the first meetings is the first step to better group meetings.

Download before the meeting starts

Post the download link for all platforms in your group slack/whatsapp/confluence so everyone has quick access to downloading the app.

Download time

For the early access the app still has optimisation to be run so make sure all know that it’s a large download so not to leave it until 5 mins before the first meeting to download (trust us this will save you a lot of time!)

Run the tutorial

Before your first meeting, make sure everybody has gone through the tutorial so that when you hold your first meeting everybody is familiar with how to interact at the same level – it usually take about 5-10 minutes for people to familiarise themselves with how to move about

The first meeting

The first 10 minutes of your first meeting have time scheduled to allow for any first time login issues for the person(s) who forgot to do the tutorial and time to download the app.

Types of meetings that we have seen teams start off with:

• Brainstorming
• All Hands
• Collaborative Meeting
• Agile Meetings
• Standups
• Project Retrospectives
• Strategic Planning Meetings
• Exit Interviews
• Workshops
