MegaMeeting.com Video Conferencing - Easier Than Getting Through Airport Security

LOS ANGELES, CA, November 28, 2006 –When the Director of Technology for Village Ventures, Inc., Fred Meczywor was asked about his experience with MegaMeeting.com’s browser based video and web conferencing services, he replied, “MegaMeeting is easier than getting through airport security.”

Before implementing MegaMeeting’s web and video conferencing services, several times a year Village Ventures would have all of their employees fly to a central location for their meetings. Since implementing MegaMeeting, Village Ventures is now saving a considerable amount of time, money and aggravation by conducting their meetings live via the Internet, using web cameras to allow “face to face” communication.

Village Ventures Inc., with offices located throughout the United States, is an early stage venture capital firm investing in exceptional entrepreneurs building technology and life science companies in emerging U.S. technology centers. These markets offer world class innovation but lack seed and early stage capital, thereby providing the opportunity to achieve superior returns.

In addition to conducting company meetings, Village Ventures currently uses MegaMeeting in its Administration department and for their Executives. In the future they plan on using MegaMeeting to conduct online seminars for training and business plan proposal meetings.

The specific features of MegaMeeting that Village Ventures implements most often are the video conferencing capabilities that allow employees to see one another and the built in audio (VoIP), which allows participants to hear one another. Meczywor likes the personal touch that web/video conferencing adds to their meetings as opposed to simply conducting conference calls.

One of the main reasons Village Ventures, Inc. chose MegaMeeting over other web and video conferencing systems was due to the reasonable price of MegaMeeting products and services.

Another plus is that the price is per month and we have unlimited minute usage.”

Prior to implementing the MegaMeeting software, American Lighting relied on costly video conferencing which only allowed them to conduct conferences “one-on-one”. MegaMeeting allows up to sixteen individuals to be seen on each computer monitor simultaneously.

The specific features of MegaMeeting that American Lighting implements most often are the video conferencing capabilities that allow meeting attendees to see each other, the ability to share a PowerPoint presentation via the Internet, and screen sharing capabilities.

American Lighting chose MegaMeeting over other web and video conferencing systems because of the less expensive price they received with MegaMeeting and the fact that MegaMeeting provided them with the specific tools that they needed to conduct their business.

LOS ANGELES, CA, November 14, 2006 – The University of Tennessee Boling Center for Developmental Disabilities currently uses MegaMeeting’s browser based video and web conferencing software to provide training to distance learning participants who would otherwise not be able to travel and attend these meetings.

According to Elizabeth Bishop, BCDD’s Community Education Director, “MegaMeeting has allowed my staff to operate more freely with distance technology and create a competitive edge for our program to other programs nationally.” Bishop has found MegaMeeting software to be an excellent media to conduct trainings.

Prior to implementing the MegaMeeting software Bishop explained that they used a very antiquated, donated video conferencing system that was very expensive to maintain and operate. There was also an issue of whether the equipment would work and if the connections were still active prior to each use. MegaMeeting has removed the unpredictability and has saved them time and money, increased their productivity and decreased the aggravation.

The specific features of MegaMeeting that BCDD implements most often are the video conferencing capabilities that allow meeting attendees to see each other, the ability to share a PowerPoint presentation via the Internet, and screen sharing capabilities.
