5th April, 2002 - YAC, the UK based telecommunications solutions provider, has launched a new audio conferencing service which can be set up quickly via its website, www.yac.com, and which saves users up to 25% on similar BT conferencing services. The flexible solution is secure, easy to use and is available seven days a week, 365 days a year. It can be accessed by any telephone in the UK or internationally and, for those users without web access, it can be arranged via YAC's call centre and still yield cost savings.

The service is aimed at small to medium sized companies who need to cut travel costs, or for whom video conferencing is not practical, yet need to keep in touch with customers and colleagues, or participate in management meetings and training events.

For larger companies the web interface can be personalised for that organisation and integrated with the companies website, giving far greater visibility of conference usage to the telecom's manager.

"As businesses cut back on their non-essential travel budgets and increased security risks make travel more time consuming, audio conferencing is the perfect solution. We aim to provide a faster, more cost effective service," said Graham Cove, YAC's Chief Executive.
