Online Net Meeting

LOS ANGELES, CA, June 14^th, 2007 – In the “olden” days, in order to attend college, you had to physically go to a campus and take courses. Wellington College is using MegaMeeting.com’s browser based video and web conferencing software to dramatically change the way students access college and college courses.

According to Randy Ellingson, President of Wellington College, “we have MegaMeeting setup in our classroom. Students away from college can participate as if in person”. Ellingson goes on to say that he is hopeful that by using web and video conferencing services, Wellington will be able extend the College’s reach and allow more people to attend its courses.

In addition to allowing students to “virtually” attend classes, Wellington currently uses MegaMeeting to perform seminars, conduct internal meetings and train employees.

Some of the benefits Wellington receives from MegaMeeting’s web and video conferencing software, include saving money and of course giving the College access to more students that can’t physically attend the College.

The specific features of MegaMeeting that Wellington implements most often are the video conferencing capabilities that allow meeting attendees to see each other, the built-in audio (VoIP), PowerPoint presentations and the Screen Sharing feature that allows a host in a MegaMeeting to present and share his or her computer screen with all attendees in the meeting.

LOS ANGELES, CA, January 10, 2007–Financial Management Group, Inc. (FMG) currently uses MegaMeeting in its Sales and Training departments and for its Executives and Administration. FMG is utilizing MegaMeeting’s browser based web and video conferencing services to conduct company meetings, sales meetings and to train their employees. The company is also utilizing MegaMeeting’s Internet web conferencing software for monthly sales meetings, classroom instruction, and one-on-one meetings with reps. In addition, wholesaler visits to the main office can now be shared with satellite offices.

FMG provides comprehensive financial services to assist individuals, professionals, and business owners in achieving their financial objectives. From comprehensive financial services to asset accumulation, protection, estate planning and business services, FMG provides complete planning experiences.

Prior to implementing the MegaMeeting software, FMG had to pay for staff to visit satellite offices as well as periodic firm meetings which required everyone to travel to a central location. They also conducted costly teleconferences for meetings. Now, they simply have their staff log into a MegaMeeting via the Internet and meet without the travel and out of office costs associated with physical meetings.

The specific features of MegaMeeting that FMG implements most often are the video conferencing capabilities that allow meeting attendees to see each other, audio via integrated teleconferencing, Power Point presentations and screen sharing.

The main reason FMG chose MegaMeeting over other web and video conferencing systems was because they found MegaMeeting’s software to be cost effective and did not require the satellite offices to obtain additional technology. In the future they anticipate expanding their use of MegaMeeting software so that they can conduct face-to-face meetings between satellite office clients and reps and the main office specialists.

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.

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.

The Boling Center for Developmental Disabilities (BCDD) is an interdisciplinary program that supports children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families through training, service, applied research, information dissemination, planning, and policy development.

In addition to helping their members virtually attend conferences that they normally would not be able to make, BCDD also utilizes MegaMeeting’s web and video conferencing for its Administration and Board of Directors, as well as to conduct seminars, company meetings, training of both clients and employees, for quality assurance and to diagnose issues.

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.

Some of the main reasons BCDD chose MegaMeeting over other web and video conferencing systems include the interactive ability of the software, the ease of use and the ability to adjust during conference events. BCDD also appreciates the amount of control they maintain in conducting their events and the ease of setting up meetings and extending invitations to their participants

What you can do with web and video conferencing is limited only by the extent of your imagination. Businesses are using web conferencing to conduct staff meetings, and families have employed this new technology to “attend” family functions in far away locales. Pushing the envelope even farther are various professionals, companies, media people, and entrepreneurs who are beginning to communicate with their clients in ways that were undreamt of ten years ago.

Radio stations have long been enhancing their programs by interacting with their listeners. First, there were call-in shows where listeners used the telephone to request songs to be played or even to be interviewed on air. Interactivity was stepped up when stations were able to receive e-mails from their listeners and to offer websites with text, photos and audio files. Now a station in Houston, Texas has become one of the first to integrate web conferencing with live radio programming.

Listeners to Mike Garfield’s High-Tech Texan Show® simply click on a special link at www.HighTechTexan.com, enter their name, click ‘accept’ and they are part of a video conference. Listeners with cameras can be seen by Garfield and other listeners. Those without cameras can watch as the show unfolds.

“I was blown away from the start and now that I see what I can do with promotions and interactivity on my radio show, I am even more excited,” enthused Garfield who explained that, “Instead of just talking about new gadgets, I can show them live to listeners while they watch via the web. And since this technology can also be used as a two-way videoconference, I can open up the show to new concepts. I have held radio interviews where my listeners can see my guests.”

The key to Garfield’s ability to connect with his audience via video conferencing are new web based conferencing applications that do not require any software downloads and can be accessed regardless of which operating system is installed on the user’s computer.

This new ease-of-use has also been a boon to professionals who are using video conferencing to do things that they couldn’t previously do. Realtors are now able to show a house to a prospective buyer and even the buyer’s relatives who may live in another city, state or country using web-based video conference software. Lawyers have even begun to make depositions to courts over the Internet, rather than traveling to another city to deliver their statements.

Other uses of video conferencing include the lucrative auction business. Large auction houses have already opened up some of their auctions to bidders around the world who view the objects for sale via a video conference, and make their bids through the same Internet link. Where large auction houses tread today, small auctioneers are sure to follow, and it is now possible for Ebay sellers to display their wares online and show more features of the product using a web-based video conference format.

As more companies and individuals begin to get used to online web and video conferencing the list of uses of this interactive technology will only get longer and more interesting.
