ATLANTA, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PGi (NYSE: PGI), the
world's largest dedicated provider of collaboration software and
services, today announced that Vantedge Group, a leading firm
specializing in helping brands grow their businesses through
customer intelligence and relationship optimization, selected iMeet
for its all-in-one web, video and audio conferencing capabilities
in order to host customer focus groups virtually—driving up to a
50% cost savings as compared to hosting in-person focus groups.
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.
"When we use iMeet to enable virtual customer focus groups, our
ROI is measured in hard dollar savings. Traditional in-person focus
groups can cost up to $6,000 each,
depending on the scale, while focus groups conducted virtually
using iMeet save us up to half those costs," said Read Ziegler,
Vantedge Group Managing Partner & Founder. "We've found that
iMeet's simple and engaging user experience also drives richer
client interactions, which is critical as Vantedge focuses on
growing our business by delivering meaningful customer insights
that help our clients succeed."
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 productivity.
