Audio and Web Conferencing Services Keep Companies Competitive Inside and Outside the Office

Today, an ever-increasing number of employees in all aspects of business are calling for a greater freedom of choice in regard to where and how they work. And frankly it makes sense; by allowing your staff to conduct their daily operations from multiple locations, your business not only becomes more efficient and competitive, but you also lower your overheads.

Statistics indicate that expanding collaboration and UC across your enterprise can bring as much as two hours extra of productive work per day from your staff. And according to a recent Cisco Connected World Technology report, more than 200 million employees around the globe will take advantage of employer-provided conferencing services by 2015.

The good news for you: the technology is already here, and it is leaps and bounds from where it once was during the early pioneer days of conferencing. Modern audio and web conferencing services provide a powerful and economical alternative to traditional in-person meetings. Forget the weeks of planning, and booking and paying for expensive flights, car rentals, hotel rooms, meals, per diems, etc.; conferencing services eliminate the costs and wait, letting you meet with one, one hundred, one thousand or more attendees whenever, wherever, and any device you choose (tablets and smartphones included).

For example, PGi’s iMeet solution offers an easy, personal way for you to meet with your customers and/or employees. PGi understands that work should not take time away from your personal life, and has designed iMeet to eliminate the hassle. As a result, iMeet is extremely user-friendly – you only need to see it once to understand it – and offers real time video for a more engaging experience with your attendees.

Each attendee gets an individual cube that glows green when he or she speaks to avoid the familiar "wait, who just said that?" confusion, and offers bios and links to participants social networking sites for a more comprehensive end-user experience. Documents, files and Power Point presentations can be uploaded, presented and distributed among the group, and meeting rooms are customizable to suit your needs. Moreover, because iMeet can call-out to you and your participants to join a conference, the days of having to remember your dial in number(s) and password(s) are long gone.
