Los Angeles, CA (March 11, 2009) - WYDE Voice, winner of the prestigious VON Top Innovator Award for 2008 for its high quality, high capacity conferencing bridges has partnered with Persony, a cost-effective web conferencing solution provider on a new product that integrates the highly scalable and flexible WYDE Voice conferencing bridge with Persony's fully branded web and video conferencing software. The joint solution allows the moderator of a web/video conference to leverage the WYDE Voice conferencing bridges to start/stop recordings, dial-out to attendees, mute individuals and place the conference into a lecture mode.
“Conferencing service providers and enterprises have been searching for a powerful, reliable, scalable, easy-to-use and fully integrated conferencing solution,” said David Erickson, CEO of Wyde Voice. “Our joint offering empowers these organizations with a personalized, “private-labeled” and integrated solution that places audio, web and video conferencing under the control of the designated user making it a valuable business and training tool.”
Eric Chen, CEO of Persony added, “our 100% branded Flash-based web/video conference software solution works on any computer platform and requires no software download for either moderators or attendees.” According to Chen, the software is hosted on any commodity web server which further reduces its TCO since it is a low cost product that is sold under a permanent software license, not with an ongoing monthly cost. In addition, Persony’s software is so reliable that its tech support level has proven to be the lowest of any comparable product on the market.
“We're really impressed with the performance of the Wyde Voice and Persony web conferencing solution. It provides unparalleled audio quality and integration, and requires no downloads by subscribers using the web conferencing solution,” said Kevin Ward, President and CEO of PC Conferencing. http://www.pc-conferencing.com/
