StartMeeting incorporates the latest features including screen sharing capability; call recording; and a unique customizable online meeting wall where hosts can upload their photo and contact information, files, links and information to support the virtual meeting.
"Conference calls save companies of all sizes millions of dollars annually, and with today's interactive tools, conference call participants can share information and connect as effectively as they would sitting in the same room," said Greg Plum, StartMeeting's Vice President of Channel Development. "Whether it is a staff meeting, a webinar, or an important presentation, conferencing is how business is getting done today and we are proud to offer a world-class service at an unprecedented low cost."
