Simplifying The Move From Voice To Video Conferencing Improves Unified Communications By Opening The Eyes Of The Enterprise.

London UK: 22nd April 2008; Enterprises can now move easily and affordably from “voice and data only” net conferences to professional, web-based video-conferencing, messaging and collaboration. With the launch of the latest version of ICU™ Live! from leading Unified Communications consultancy ICU Global, organisations can bypass traditional hurdles to making the move.

Whilst many organisations have been held back by the cost, resource and equipment limitations traditionally associated with moving to full video collaboration, ICU™ Live! simplifies the process by enabling users simply to log in online and conference in minutes; even using the most basic webcam and headset. And with low entry-level pricing, from £5 per month per user, the solution is budget friendly too.

With twenty new features and enhancements, the new Vista compatible version has been specifically designed for organisations seeking to simplify the process of moving to full voice, data and video conferencing. With up to 64 simultaneous participants, users can share documents, video clips or PowerPoint presentations, and collaborate on ideas via an integrated whiteboard. ICU™ Live! also allows users to record, playback or broadcast meetings, send instant messages and make free internet calls.

ICU™ Live! delivers other major benefits too including significant productivity improvements and reduced corporate travel costs between meetings. Users also reap the rewards of more interpersonal communications and faster decision taking. Interaction with suppliers and customers is also transformed. Requiring just a standard wired or wireless internet connection, and taking only minutes for enterprise administrators to register and download, the benefits of ICU™ Live! are immediate.

Says Stephen McKenzie CEO of ICU Global, “Cost and equipment constraints have held back corporate interaction. Enterprise managers are still holding voice and data only meetings on issues crucial to the performance of the business…. why is this? It’s like sitting in a boardroom with your eyes closed. What a crazy state of affairs! Let’s get on and open the eyes of the enterprise!”
