ATLANTA, March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- PGi (NYSE: PGI), the world's largest pure-play
provider of collaboration software and services, today announced
that its award-winning iMeet product now offers seamless
integration with all popular video room systems and endpoints using
SIP/H.323 standards, helping enterprises unlock more value from
their investments in video conferencing technology.
"Businesses worldwide have invested billions in static video
conferencing rooms and endpoints to drive collaboration, but those
systems haven't kept pace with the increasing demands of the modern
workforce," said David Guthrie, PGi
chief technology officer. "The result is that many of these
expensive video room systems are rarely used. iMeet gives companies
one single solution for all their virtual meetings—whether users
are in a video conference room, at their desks or on-the
go—enabling enterprises to unlock the full potential of their video
room investments."
iMeet Video Rooms features:
- Easy Setup: iMeet connects to a video
conferencing system in a few simple steps via H.323 or SIP
protocols.
- Seamless Integration: iMeet works with
the most popular video conferencing systems, including those from
Polycom, Lifesize, Cisco and more.
- Real-time Collaboration: iMeet
connects the people in the video conferencing room with remote
workers joining the meeting from laptops or mobile devices, making
it easy to collaborate with colleagues wherever they are.
- Superior Audio Quality: iMeet is built
on PGi's global hybrid audio network, trusted by 75% of the Fortune
100™, providing industry-leading audio quality in every video
conference.
- Screen Sharing To and From Video Room
Systems: Leverage iMeet's fast, high-quality screen share
capabilities from any device in any location.
iMeet Video Rooms is the latest addition to PGi's expanding
iMeet portfolio of collaboration solutions that currently includes
web conferencing, audio conferencing and webcasting. In the coming
months, iMeet will be releasing several new innovations focused on
smart calendar management, file sharing, project management and
sales engagement.
