We wrapped up iConnect 2010 yesterday and it was fabulous! This year we took the plunge and held our annual user conference 100% virtually and what a difference! We had nearly 1,300 people registered and 800 participated over the 2 day conference. That was about 3 times the number of participants we had last year. Our customers suggested we make the event virtual this year so that more organizations and more people within their organizations could attend…so we did and they came!

Salesforce is getting ready to hold its annual cloud computing event, Dreamforce, November 17-20, 2009 in  San Francisco at the Moscone Center. This is a golden opportunity for Salesforce’s customers, as well as partners (they have 200 partner sponsors slated) who create applications to work in tandem with their own, to rub elbows with some 12,000 other attendees. Participants will learn how to maximize their ROI, have the chance to meet with product teams, listen to expert users and attend hands-on training sessions. iLinc is very excited to be a part of another great event this year as a Gold sponsor!

We are happy to announce that iLinc for Salesforce, our web conferencing integration with Salesforce CRM, has been chosen as the Force.com AppExchange “App of the Week”. This cutting edge solution, available for download on the AppExchange, allows organizations to get more out of their marketing webinars, virtual training sessions and online sales demos by ensuring that all registration and attendance data is sent to Salesforce Lead, Contact and Campaign records in near real-time.

To anyone who has ever hosted an online event, this is earth-shattering news. No more wasting time downloading information about registrants from a web conferencing system and then manually uploading it to Salesforce CRM without knowing for sure how to tie that data to existing records.

We recently participated in SYNNEX’s National Conference in Greenville, SC. SYNNEX Corporation is one of the largest technology distribution companies in the world - with sales of $8 billion per year and their annual conference attracts 250 of the top technology resellers in the country. 

iLinc and SYNNEX have a strategic distribution relationship centered on the SaaS Provisioning Portal. The portal enables approximately 4,000 SYNNEX resellers to access the rapidly-expanding Software As A Service (SaaS) market for iLinc web and video conferencing. 

As a founding vendor of the SaaS Provisioning Portal at SYNNEX, iLinc was on hand to help launch it to the reseller community and the millions of customers they serve.

Many companies are using web conferencing to avoid the headaches and productivity losses associated with travel. In order to justify the cost of these services, many companies would like to have a way to quantify these cost savings. That’s where iLinc’s Green Meter comes in. We received a patent last week for our Green Meter which makes it possible to do just that!
