CHANNEL PARTNERS GlobalMeet, PGis (Booth #1523) newest Web conferencing product, is debuting this week at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo. GlobalMeet, launched in early 2011, was designed to fix traditional Web conferencing services that are intimidating and dont work the way real people do.

PGi is committed to bringing intuitive and easy to use products to market and then maximizing their availability by making those products available to our partners within the channel.”

As a cloud-based service, GlobalMeet is delivered through the browser. The company says there are no frustrating software downloads required for meeting guests. Users can easily schedule, start and manage meetings from their desktop with GlobalMeets 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.
