IT for Free: Part 1

This article is the first installment of a multi part series

While, if you get this newsletter you're in the technology business, are you looking for ways to leverage technology without blowing your budget? Believe it or not, it’s possible to take advantage of a wide variety of technology services -- from phone conferencing to Internet-based meetings -- for little or no cost. My companies save thousands of dollars per year using free services from legitimate Internet-based software companies or service providers. What’s the catch? Only the hope that after using the “basic” freebees you’ll get hooked and upgrade to fee-based services.

Do I now have your attention?

Great. You’re now ready for a journey to the land of IT for Free. Think of it as the technology Yellow Brick Road for the budget minded.

First stop as we leave Kansas: free phone conferencing. It’s available through Free Conference (www.freeconference.com), which allows you to schedule your conference call through the Internet. Beyond the normal long-distance charges you pay your phone provider, there are no surcharges, additional fees or commitments. We’ve been using this service for a couple of years. I can tell you from personal experience, if you use conferencing frequently this service will save you thousands of dollars per year.

For live meetings over the Internet, explore your options by using limited-time versions of Internet-based meeting software. Microsoft Office Live Meeting (www.livemeeting.com) offers a 30-day trial of its product. In addition to Live Meeting, other vendors such as WebEx (www.webex.com) offer a 14-day trial version of its product. But don’t make it a major event: both Live Meeting and WebEx limit the number of meeting attendees.

Up next: online surveys. From surveying munchkins on how to do away with the Wicked Witch of the West to surveying customers on new product questions, online surveys make messy and cumbersome paper surveys a quaint business artifact. Online surveys provide an easy way for the participant to provide data. And, because the survey is online, with each completed survey, the results are tallied automatically allowing you to view them in real-time. Zoomerang (www.zoomerang.com) provides an easy-to-use, free online survey. The free version does have limits – no more than 30 questions, no more than 100 participants, and the data is kept online for 10 days. For us, and for our customers, online surveys are an effective way to conduct employee satisfaction surveys.
