Centre Of the Web Associates Program

Centre Of the Web began in early 1996 as an informal gathering of public service-minded web professionals who occasionally met for lunch to talk about Internet stuff. The discussion group environment provided us with new resources for expanding our knowledge and abilities. Suddenly, seemingly insurmountable challenges in our web work became do-able, as we began to work together, combining our skills to complete projects that none of us could have done alone.

We quickly realized that, by working together, our potential is far beyond what any of us can achieve working by ourselves and the decision was made to begin marketing our group.

Centre Of the Web as an organization with a name, was born as we prepared for our public debut at the Preview '97 regional trade show in July of 1996.

Skipping the details of the next year, by June of 1997 there were eight of us who had become so involved in the informal group that it was no longer informal, so we made it official and filed for incorporation.

So, here we are, with our own network and high-speed connection to the net and dozens of clients, and here's where YOU come in.

Voice Over IP

VoIP can facilitate tasks and provide services that may be more difficult to implement or expensive using the more traditional PSTN. Examples include:

The ability to transmit more than one telephone call down the same broadband-connected telephone line. This can make VoIP a simple way to add an extra telephone line to a home or office.
3-way calling, call forwarding, automatic redial, and caller ID; features that traditional telecommunication companies (telcos) normally charge extra for.
Secure calls using standardized protocols (such as Secure Real-time Transport Protocol.) Most of the difficulties of creating a secure phone over traditional phone lines, like digitizing and digital transmission are already in place with VoIP. It is only necessary to encrypt and authenticate the existing data stream.
Location independence. Only an internet connection is needed to get a connection to a VoIP provider. For instance, call center agents using VoIP phones can work from anywhere with a sufficiently fast and stable Internet connection.
Integration with other services available over the Internet, including video conversation, message or data file exchange in parallel with the conversation, audio conferencing, managing address books, and passing information about whether others (e.g. friends or colleagues) are available online to interested parties.
