BCO Saves $10,000 Per Meeting with iMeet®

ATLANTA, July 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PGi (NYSE: PGI), the world's largest dedicated provider of collaboration software and services, today announced that the Breastfeeding Coalition of Oregon (BCO) saves as much as $10,000 per meeting by transitioning key in-person events to an online experience using iMeet. In addition to providing valuable cost savings, BCO's virtual meetings eliminate significant travel burdens, increase attendance and improve the collective impact work of its 22 chapters across Oregon.

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.

"As a non-profit organization, funding is always tight. By taking many of our in-person meetings online, iMeet has helped us free up valuable resources that we can redirect toward driving our mission forward and positively impacting the communities we serve," said Marion Rice, BCO executive director. "iMeet is incredibly easy to use, letting our members join from their offices or homes without any special equipment to purchase or training required. iMeet's visual cues have been instrumental in helping BCO encourage all our members to participate; when we see that someone has been quiet throughout the meeting, we can gently engage them via chat so that their voice is still heard, even if they never speak."

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.
