Browser-based
software allows for easy online meetings with video, sound, white
board, web, and file sharing.
San
Diego, California – November 24, 2004 - Aplus.Net (www.aplus.net), a leading web site hosting and development firm for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) announced today the launch
of a browser-based web conferencing service that dramatically simplifies
online conferencing.
Provided
through a partnership between San Diego based Aplus.Net and WiredRed Software, e/pop Web Conferencing is a
perfect solution for businesses that want to harness the efficiency
and savings of web conferencing. Aplus.Net is offering a dedicated
server to each conferencing customer in order to eliminate interference
and slowness problems typical of shared conferencing services. Unlike
many competitors, Aplus.Net will not charge premiums for the many
extra options included with the service.
"The
e/pop Web Conferencing service has all the features of Industry leaders
like WebEx and sells for a fraction of the price." said Ivan Vachovsky, Chief Executive Officer of Aplus.Net. "It is a part of our commitment to provide the best technologies for an affordable
price to our customers."
"With
our technology, web conferencing is like meeting in person. Aplus.Net
has taken it to the next level, providing complete web and desktop
video conferencing to companies of all sizes, even those without
a full-time IT staff," said Steven Peltier, Chief Executive Officer of WiredRed Software.
Getting
started with an e/pop Web Conference is as easy as pointing a web
browser at a single URL. Customers will appreciate the ease of service
initiation; there is no server set-up because Aplus.net provides
complete hardware, server software and bandwidth in a turnkey plan.
e/pop Web
Conferencing software offers many improvements over leading industry
services. For example, many web conference services fail to live
up to user expectations due to slow or chunky audio/visual quality.
While some services offer solutions to the A/V quality problem by
extra cost add-ons, e/pop Web Conferencing offers high-quality audio
and video as a standard feature. Aside from the standard high-quality
video, e/pop Web Conferencing also offers fully adjustable audio
and video quality for each conference participant – allowing the
individual user to accommodate for bandwidth constraints that may
be experienced at a specific location.
The
real-time aspect of e/pop Web Conferencing is further complemented
by immediate "page turning" on PowerPoint presentations. Because presentations are cached on each meeting
participant’s computer, only the "change" commands are sent over the Internet. As a result, changes are immediate.
e/pop Web
Conferencing also feature intuitive permission settings and meeting
controls which can be established and used by the chair of the meeting.
For example, users can be "promoted" to presenter status, demoted, or even expelled from a conference. While management
of the software is easy, Aplus.Net provides 24x7 support to answer any questions that may result from world meetings held at odd hours.
Current
e/pop Web Conferencing software clients include Barr Management,
Bond Street Capital, Oxford Global Resources, Denver Health, CRT
Medical, Cinergy, and the Tindall Corporation. PC Magazine wrote
that e/pop conferencing is "a lower-priced Web conferencing solution, and has plenty of collaboration options".
