PGi Releases GlobalMeet® for Simple, Affordable Web Conferencing

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As a global leader in virtual meetings for nearly 20 years, PGi (NYSE: PGI) knows that web conferencing can be a pain. And it can be expensive, too. That’s why today, PGi announced general availability of GlobalMeet, its newest solution that offers businesses simpler, more intuitive web conferencing at an affordable price.

“People need to get real work done, in real time. GlobalMeet takes the everyday audio meeting online and provides simple, hassle-free and affordable web conferencing for any business.”

According to a recent study from Wainhouse Research, web conferencing technologies are often underutilized because they are difficult to use. GlobalMeet was designed to fix traditional web conferencing services that are intimidating and don’t work the way real people do.

As a cloud-based service, GlobalMeet is delivered through the browser, with no frustrating software downloads required for meeting guests. Users can easily schedule, start and manage meetings from their desktop with GlobalMeet’s add-in for Outlook®. A convenient auto-connect feature makes dial-in numbers, passcodes and long URLs a thing of the past. GlobalMeet users can move easily from an audio call to collaborating on the web with the click of a button, share their screen in crystal-clear quality, personalize meetings with webcam video for all participants and connect globally with international support.

“Old school conference calls and frustrating web conferencing services no longer cut it for many businesses,” said Boland T. Jones, PGi founder, chairman and CEO. “People need to get real work done, in real time. GlobalMeet takes the everyday audio meeting online and provides simple, hassle-free and affordable web conferencing for any business.”

At a flat rate of $39 per month, GlobalMeet offers simple audio and web meetings for up to 125 participants.

GlobalMeet joins PGi’s suite of virtual meeting products, which includes its iMeet® solution that gives people their own personal meeting room online that combines video conferencing, social networking and media and file sharing – all in one place. PGi also offers its ReadyConference® suite of enterprise-class audio conferencing services, scalable for any business need.
