AGT Announces Availability of PerfectMeetings Video for Enterprise and Government Workers
PerfectMeetings™ Video – Industry’s Leading Cloud Service for Video Conferencing between Enterprise and Public Networks Using Windows, Apple, Cisco and Polycom Devices
Applied Global Technologies, LLC (“AGT”) today announces the worldwide availability of PerfectMeetings™ Video for enterprise and government workers, to facilitate video conferencing between Windows desktop users and Apple iOS devices such as iPad and iPhone, and extending into standards-based HD systems from Cisco and Polycom. Anyone interested in video conferencing can immediately experience 2-way interactive cloud based video conferencing via the free PerfectMeetings Mobile App available at iTunes.
“Video conferencing adoption has been slowed by both the exclusion of certain endpoints and cost to deploy hardware,” said Mike Valletutti, CEO. “Our cloud based service manages interoperability issues and requires no upfront capital for a true HD-to-mobile video service.”
PerfectMeetings Video is available as a free service for 2-way video meetings, allowing business users to conduct a desktop video conference with family at home on iPad, as an example. Professional organizations can purchase secure cloud-based meetings rooms that can host expanded 4-way and 9-way meetings. The cloud meeting rooms include storage for presentations, recording and streaming of meetings, and live desktop sharing. PerfectMeetings bridges the gap between Apple Mobile devices and Microsoft Windows PCs, allowing teams of people to meet and productively collaborate without device or network limitations.
AGT’s cloud offering also includes proprietary tunnelling technology which allows users behind corporate or government firewalls to connect without internal IT effort. Typical cloud services only enable internet-connected users and typically exclude participants connecting from inside their corporate firewall. “Conventional approaches require the installation of costly specialized hardware at every site to allow this level of interoperability, while other desktop video services such as Skype are typically restricted,” explains Ben Atha, CTO. “Our design works over standard, open web ports, enabling both simplicity of service delivery while maintaining enterprise security.” PerfectMeetings Video supports secure SSL for desktop and H.235 for professional video room systems. The PerfectMeetings desktop client does not require a client install.
The PerfectMeetings Video cloud service is based on AGT’s ENCORE UC Video platform, which has been adopted by F1000 and Government as a gateway to mobile devices and handhelds from traditional video conference rooms. ENCORE’s design follows the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) architecture, and is hosted by AGT’s Client Care outside Atlanta, Georgia. Unlike other desktop video services that are do-it-yourself, PerfectMeetings Video includes on-line chat and 800# support.
