LotusLive® or MegaMeeting®? Part 2

Last week we went over the LotusLive® and some of its selling points, this week I am going to go over MegaMeeting.®  MegaMeeting® is a browser based, multi-point video conferencing solution.
MegaMeeting® requires no downloading, installing or configuring of software.  MegaMeeting® is compatible with all major operating systems.  With this product, you can have up to 16 cameras displayed at the same time. For this example, Here are two cameras visible.
MegaMeeting® is very easy to use and all your tools are available in the tool tray.
Via VoIP or another one of our audio conferencing solutions, your conference participants are able to talk to each other by using a standard telephone or a headset/microphone. 
Consider what happens if each of these 16 cameras were positioned at the head of a table in your office with employees/staff seated along the length of the table. Instantly multi-point video becomes a solution for your staff, worldwide without the expense of travel. Video conferencing usage is predicted to rise in the small and medium business sector due to rising cost of travel. Small and medium-sized businesses are becoming more and more interested in moving from free or very low cost video conferencing systems such as Skype towards telepresence technologies similar to those formerly aimed exclusively at enterprise-level operations. MegaMeeting® fits!!

Furthermore, according to Information Week from April 2012, studies are showing that 75% of Enterprise businesses will be using Video Conferencing by 2013… So, I have to ask… “What is your Agency doing”? You need to be selling Video Conferencing, more importantly The Conference Group’s MegaMeeting®. If you aren’t, I assure you someone else is!

LotusLive® or MegaMeeting®? Part 1


One of the questions I am receiving more and more today is “what is the difference between LotusLive® and MegaMeeting®?” This week, I thought it would be a good idea to go over LotusLive®’s web conferencing. The cool thing about LotusLive® and our audio platform is that you don’t have to remember any separate codes. Your audio conference Leader Code “is” your LotusLive® Leader Code. So what does LotusLive® look like?



As the host, you will sign in using your Leader Code and Participant Code. LotusLive® provides you an attendance summary report via email. In order to get this, simply provide your email information when initiating a web conference:


LotusLive® is an easy web product to navigate through. Some of the features are: upload and publish PowerPoint presentations, Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. You can also conduct polls, annotate the presentation and highlight key points. LotusLive® comes with a recording feature which enables your clients to record a presentation and sync it with our audio conferencing. They can then send it out via email OR publish the link to their website for clients to review in the future.

Here are a couple of screen shots on the above features:






The best way to learn about LotusLive® is to demo it. As mentioned in my March 2nd blog, all agents who are producing receive a $50.00 credit off their bill. This credit can be used for LotusLive® demos! Give me a call to see how you can earn this credit, or better yet give me a call telling me you have a client who needs a web conferencing product and I will demo it for you!  Stay tuned for Part 2 of my LotusLive® or MegaMeeting® blog and you decide!  Which one will you choose??... May the 4th be with you!  :)
