ATLANTA, June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PGi (NYSE:
PGi), the world's largest dedicated provider of collaboration
software and services, today announced a new strategic alliance
with Telecom Consulting Group, Inc. (TCG) to equip TCG's more than
800 master agents and resellers with PGi's expanding suite of
unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) solutions,
including its award-winning iMeet portfolio of products.
iMeet gives users the power to meet via web, video or audio
conferencing—however and wherever they want—from a single,
easy-to-use desktop, web or mobile application, or any telephone
device. iMeet was designed to have the industry's most elegant and
appealing user interface, to be the most intuitive and enjoyable
way to meet online.
"We see the industry increasingly moving beyond traditional,
phone-based conferencing toward more robust solutions for unified
business collaboration," said Alan
Mushlin, TCG Partner. "By aligning with PGi, we have access
to the innovative solutions we need to fill that gap within our
portfolio and to arm our agents and resellers with the products and
services they need to compete in this quickly evolving, high-growth
market."
"TCG is a recognized leader in IT and communications consulting
and services, with an impressive partner and master agent program.
This alliance opens new opportunities for PGi and our flagship
iMeet solution, as we continue our strategic focus on growing
market share for our UC&C portfolio of products," said
Ralph Hawkins, SVP of PGi Partner
Channel. "Together, TCG and PGi will help businesses collaborate
more effectively, improve productivity, grow revenue and drive
business results."
In addition to all-in-one web, video and audio conferencing,
PGi's expanding iMeet portfolio of UC&C products also includes
webcasting and an award-winning smart calendar app. PGi recently
announced the integration of iMeet into all popular video room
systems and endpoints, extending the utility of an organization's
video investments to any desktop or smart mobile device. In the
coming months, iMeet will release several new innovations in online
team workspaces, project management and sales acceleration.
