WEBDIALOGS REDEFINES CONFERENCING WITH UNIFIED VOICE, VIDEO AND WEB FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM BUSINESSES
Unyte Meeting provides “multimedia minutes” for the same price as audio minutes
Service offers reliable, proven conferencing capabilities with dedicated customer support
Billerica, Mass., March 20, 2007 —WebDialogs Inc., a leading provider of multimedia conferencing services, today announced powerful new tools to improve the effectiveness of online meetings by small to mid-sized businesses with an offer that combines voice, video and Web conferencing with dedicated customer support for the price of traditional audio-only conference calls.
WebDialogs' new Unyte Meeting stands out among conferencing services for its ease and flexibility of use, all-in-one convenience and committed customer support, enabling conferees to work better, faster and smarter without the hassles of more complicated conferencing systems.
Unyte Meeting is WebDialogs' flagship conferencing product and the first to be unveiled under the new Unyte Conferencing brand. WebDialogs recently renamed its Meeting Central and Event Central services to more accurately reflecting the company's ability to provide unified, next-generation Web-2.0 conferencing solutions.
Unyte Meeting's unified suite of voice, video and Web conferencing is priced at about one-third of what competitors charge for similar capabilities.
"WebDialogs' new Unyte Meeting service enables small and medium businesses to communicate more effectively by giving them a comprehensive solution at a price they can afford," said Andy Nilssen, senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research, which tracks the conferencing and collaboration marketplace. "It delivers the value of unified voice, video and Web communications to businesses at large."
Unyte Meeting's Pro edition gives conference organizers additional features, including the ability to poll participants, automated recording and playback of the conference, audiocasting and Unyte Events, a capability that enables companies to create, manage and execute a webinar, event, training session or other online business meeting quickly and easily.
"WebDialogs aims to redefine the conferencing experience for small and mid-sized business," said company CEO Lou Guercia. "Our new Unyte Meeting offer is leading the way toward the next generation in conferencing by seamlessly integrating voice, video and online conferencing to deliver a unified point of management for three powerful capabilities.
"Until now, online conferencing services have been underutilized because it's been too complicated to subscribe to—let alone pay for and use—multiple services to create an effective multimedia meeting," continued Guercia. "Unyte Meeting changes that, putting all the necessary tools to combine voice, video and Web content into one package. And for the first time, 'multimedia minutes' are now available for the cost of an audio conference call."
Unyte Meeting's hallmark is its ease of use—even for first-time users. With an intuitive, well-designed interface, Unyte Meeting provides the right features to support meetings of all levels, while being straightforward enough to let conference hosts focus on their content, not the application.
Unyte Meeting is ideal for voice-only conference calls, but it's richly capable of much more. When video or Web content is to be shared, participants simply click a URL to join a session. There are no software downloads, special hardware requirements or other steps necessary to join a session. And 128-bit encryption guarantees than all user data is completely secure. Customer support is always readily available should it be needed.
Users can select from Unyte Meeting or Unyte Meeting Pro plans on a per-usage "metered" basis whenever they have a need for the service. Or they can sign up for fixed-fee plans, such as the Named Seats package, which starts at $38 per month and includes free toll-based audio conferencing.
