ATLANTA, Aug. 18, 2015
/PRNewswire/ -- PGi (NYSE: PGI), the world's largest dedicated
provider of collaboration software and services, today announced
that Simplex chose iMeet to empower its dispersed workforce with a
single solution for web, video and audio conferencing. By deploying
iMeet's innovative all-in-one virtual collaboration solution to
employees in 40 offices, Quebec's
leader in tool and equipment rentals saves thousands of dollars
annually by significantly reducing travel for internal
meetings.
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.
"With many of Simplex's offices as far away as Sept-Iles, Quebec—an 11-hour drive from our
headquarters in Montreal—iMeet is the perfect solution for reducing
travel costs and transforming wasted travel time into higher
productivity," said Andre Carriere,
Simplex Director of Planning and Control. "iMeet allows our many
regional teams and leaders to join meetings in one click, present
results and see each other live on webcam—a definite help for
encouraging a positive perception between our corporate head office
and branch facilities. And because we are so dispersed, the ability
to access iMeet meetings from anywhere and on any device is a
difference-maker for us."
In addition to all-in-one web, video and audio conferencing,
PGi's expanding iMeet portfolio of unified communications and
collaboration (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.
