ATLANTA, Aug. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PGi (NYSE:
PGI), the world's largest dedicated provider of collaboration
software and services, today announced that IT World Canada (ITWC)
chose iMeetLive to host engaging, self-service webinars, helping
the award-winning media and content marketing company reduce
software costs by 25% and nearly triple revenue from its
company-sponsored webinar program.
iMeetLive makes it easy to create professional quality webcasts
and webinars for up to 10,000 people. The secure, cloud-based
iMeetLive webcasting platform provides marketing and corporate
communications teams with self-service and fully managed webinars
for lead generation, town halls and other events. iMeetLive's
robust feature set includes on-demand recording and replay, social
media integration, audience interaction, event analytics and
more.
"Sponsored webinars are integral to ITWC's thought leadership
and demand generation programs—a key source of revenue for our
business. Using the self-service dashboard, iMeetLive makes it so
easy for us to plan, launch and host webcasts," said Donna Butts, ITWC general manager of events.
"We've nearly tripled the number of sponsored webinars we host each
year, which helps us not only drive growth within our business, but
also deliver more qualified leads to our clients. With the 25% cost
savings and PGi's amazing support team, we could not be happier
