Original Press Release:
Convenos Launches Meeting Center - the Most Cost-Effective Web-based Collaboration and Conferencing Solution on the Market
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 4 - Convenos, entering the market as the latest provider of online meeting and collaboration software, today announced general availability of Convenos Meeting Center, a web-based collaboration and conferencing solution that can slash Web conference budgets for any size organization. Convenos Meeting Center offers simple and rich features delivered on a predictable cost basis to solve most conferencing and collaboration needs. The subscription-based, flat-fee pricing and ease-of-use, combined with the cost-saving advantages of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) via Skype(TM) and seamless integration of a full set of industry-standard features, ensure customers unprecedented value.
"Simplicity, ease-of-use, and cost are critical factors for fueling the anticipated growth of online meeting and the collaboration marketplace," says Thomas Torf, CEO of Convenos. "Business demand for real-time collaboration solutions is clearly targeting process and productivity improvements, as well as cost reduction and cost predictability. Convenos Meeting Center enables groups of employees, customers, partners, and/or suppliers to collaborate and communicate more effectively with a significant cost reduction."
A typical company can save thousands of dollars per month off of their current web conferencing costs. On average, corporations spend between $2,000 and $3,000 per month on products such as WebEx and LiveMeeting for application fees, service add-ons, telephony charges and support. Convenos Meeting Center costs $30 per month per host, flat fee, for as many meetings as you wish, with no hidden costs or telephony charges.
