Browser-Based Video Conferencing (Webinar/Webcast) Is Now Affordable (No Software/Plug-In Downloads)

Online, April 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - PixelGigs, LLC, a global pioneer in the creation and delivery of smart computing software, has announced the inclusion of browser based Video Conferencing (i.e. Webinars, Webcasts, Online Meetings) with its revolutionary flagship product, SmartSuite.

With the new Video Conferencing application within PixelGigs SmartSuite your company can now shorten its sales cycle and save thousands on travel! You can conduct unlimited online interactive video conferences, webinars, and webcasts, without having to pay an arm and a leg.

SmartSuite is revolutionary. It is a robust, yet inexpensive, all-in-one cloud computing software "suite" that streamlines numerous business functions for small to medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals.

PixelGigs SmartSuite now brings tasks like Video Conferencing, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Remote Online Backup Storage, Remote Desktop Access (PC & Mac), Large File Sharing, Email/Newsletter Marketing, Website Hosting, and much more under one umbrella, now available within one, powerful, easy-to-use environment.

Until now, many end users and businesses were forced to subscribe to popular online services with other companies individually, overpaying for overlapping services and paying premium prices and extra fees based on usage and how many licenses they needed.

Many of SmartSuite's services allow for unlimited users or attendees, such as Video Conferencing, making it far less expensive than most rivals. All of SmartSuite's cloud computing services often cost less than one single competitor service. Ten "must-have" applications for the expense of less than one, that's the power and value of SmartSuite!

Gone are the days of having to physically install software applications on your computer. The cloud computing model allows the end user to remotely use even the most sophisticated tools, housed somewhere else entirely on remote servers. The largest companies in the world today use cloud "Software as a Service" (SaaS) to deliver the services you already use.

Subscription Video Conferencing is one of the top techno upgrades of the year for small to medium size businesses. Cash-flow concerns, lack of in-house IT support, and a lesser demand for more complex video capabilities make subscription programs, which charge a monthly fee for connectivity and IT backup, a popular option for many newcomers to Video Conferencing technology.

Now, with SmartSuite's included Video Conferencing you can:
• Save money and eliminate travel time
• Speed up you sales cycle
• Demonstrate products on demand
• Train reps or sales staff remotely
• Engage prospects with Webinars and tutorials

Small to medium businesses are typically amazed at the utility of the technology. Adding a visual component to daily communications strengthens professional connections. Long-distance face-to-face conferencing can inspire more creative interactions. Additionally, the right subscription video service can save a business plenty in terms of travel expenses, eliminating the need to hop a plane to make a visual presentation.

Such online Video Conferencing services as the one now included with PixelGigs SmartSuite require only an internet connection for real-time, online meeting capability via softphone audio and VoIP. More expensive, hardware-based Video Conferencing systems require a fairly hefty initial investment, then a monthly subscription fee several times that of software-based services.

The Top Contenders

The Video Conferencing component of PixelGigs SmartSuite, called PixelMeeting, is a fully-functional subscription service that offers the most for the money in terms of versatility and function. While top competitors offer some of the same features each has limitations that PixelMeeting overcomes effortlessly.

Browser Based

Because Video Conferencing with PixelMeeting is flash/browser based neither your conference hosts or attendees will have to contend with being required to download any software or plug-ins. No extra hardware is required. Being stymied by company firewalls is no longer a problem.

Participant Limits

Not all of the subscription Video Conferencing services offer unlimited Online Conferencing. One of the largest limits attendees to 25 per conference, and another can only accommodate 15 participants at once. In contrast, PixelMeeting can include up to 1,250 attendees.

Hosting Limitations

One of the primary drawbacks of one of the largest Video Conferencing companies, according to subscribers, is that once a Video Meeting has begun, the initial leader cannot hand off conferencing control to a co-worker. PixelMeeting accommodates up to 15 co-hosts, which allows team-based businesses to organize Video Conferences in much the same way as their in-house staff meetings are organized.

Desktop Sharing Capacity

One drawback of another competitor is that, even though only six conference participants can appear in On-Screen Video at one time, the service does not facilitate full Desktop Sharing among meeting members. The ability to share charts, graphs, photos and other visuals via the desktop can be critical to a video presentation or a sales meeting. PixelMeeting not only provides full Desktop Sharing but also facilitates application and presentation sharing so that all conference members can stay on the same page from start to finish.

Extras for Businesses

A primary difference between PixelMeeting and competitors in the Online Video Conference arena are the number of useful extras that are built in to the PixelGigs SmartSuite package. This all-in-one business suite includes Contact Management (CRM), Email Marketing, Online Backup, Website Hosting and building platforms, and more components that are invaluable to growing companies. The competitors to PixelGigs can't compete. No one else comes close.

Security

Finally, the protection of proprietary information should always be at the forefront whenever businesses are communicating remotely. PixelMeeting has incorporated powerful security measures into its subscription services that safeguard the privacy of communications. Highly secure networking, password protection, and safe file sharing mean that business secrets are safe with PixelMeeting.
