iLinc Web and Video Conferencing Blog Collaborate and communicate online

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!

The holiday season is upon us! While many are still out doing their last minute shopping and trying to find the perfect gifts, we’re as busy as elves since our return from Salesforce.com’s Dreamforce event a few weeks ago where we met so many incredible people. And now, we feel like we’re bringing Christmas a little early to many of them as they migrate over to the iLinc web conferencing platform and discover the amazing tricks and time-saving techniques our products offer, particularly when integrated with Salesforce.

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 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.

These days, with everyone looking to cut costs, it’s only natural to be focused on delivering the most cost-effective training, webinar or presentation. This of course raises the question of when to use Internet audio versus a traditional teleconference. Teleconferences are an easy way to get started with web conferencing but usually the cost of this option is greater. Depending upon the goals of your session, the audience you are targeting and your available budget, the answer may differ. If you need some advice in this area, we are always happy to help advise you on what may be the most appropriate option for your iLinc activity.
