COURTING Success…Again

Forum Communications has built its reputation on understanding customers’ special needs and turning those needs into a working, reliable solution. In 1994, Forum Founders, Raj Natarajan and Gayne Ek, were approached by several locations of the U.S. Courts of Appeals. Working diligently together over the next few months, Forum created a custom teleconference solution that put complete conference control in the hands of the Court Mediators with a small control box attached to a modified Confer conference system.

Mediation is a very costly procedure, with several lawyers and participants meeting together, then separating for individual consultation, frequently moving from room to room to insure privacy and to bring all parties back together. Strategies, offers and counter-offers, and compromises may take hours and days before a final decision is made.

The original Confer Mediator and Confer Director design underwent major software upgrades in the late 90’s and early 00’s, again based on long-term discussions with the Mediation Offices in the Courts. The new software upgraded the features and functionality of the systems to meet the changing needs of mediation.

Forum continues to prove our loyalty to federal, state and local courts and attorneys all over the U.S. with a new custom release offering more sophisticated teleconferencing technology, streamlined to meet their special needs.

Integrated with Forum’s new web-based controls, the Confer “Mediator II” lets the Call Host isolate individuals from the call, separate multiple parties into side conferences and control all sidebars and speakers in any call. The new design makes managing larger conferences very easy and is available in 16, 24 or 32 port systems. Dial-out and security functions are integrated into the Mediator II to increase your efficiency and billable time.

The Mediator II is a custom product, for appeals, bankruptcy and mediation calls. It is available only through direct purchase from Forum Communications. Call Neal Jabara at 972-619-8582 to replace your existing Confer Director or to upgrade your existing conference solution with our tailored-to-fit Mediator II.

In addition, Forum offers the Confer ALERT Plus with Panic Button to assist with security at the courthouse, law offices or government facility.
