OpenCo Systems Inc. Announces Next Generation Video Conferencing Technology: OpenCo.nference

    MONTREAL, QC, August 06, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Openco Systems Inc., a web application development company, launches OpenCo.nference (http://openco.org/OpenCo.nference), the company's newest real-time video conferencingip system. OpenCo.nference is powered by popular open source operating system Linux and award winning intelligent data converters. It was developed to help solve communication issues faced by corporations andNGOs worldwide, with numerous enhancements over OpenCo's DD052009, Cisco's Webex, and Citrix Online's GoToMeeting.

"With OpenCo.nference, OpenCo truly extends its leadership in video conferencing technology," says Isabelle Plante (QMEA, public relations director and Openco user). OpenCo.nference is the result of twenty-four months of research and development, and will serve as the kernel foundation for OpenCo's future communication products.

Reduced Complexity

Unlike most web conferencing systems, OpenCo.nference requires no downloads or new plug-ins. The OpenCo.nference collaboration engine uses Adobe's Flash multimedia platform rather than a proprietary multimedia system. This allows new users to video conference using OpenCo.nference without the involvement of their system administrators. Moving away from nonstandard plug-ins, OpenCo.nference eliminates IT bottlenecks and enables online meetings by only clicking a link.

Video Conference technology has always been less reliable and complicated to set-up compared to standard meetings. OpenCo has reduced these complications with OpenCo.nference. With a new pipe-lined design and video conference Linux, Mac, and Windows compatibility OpenCo.nference makes meetings simple again. Rather than being a video conference program, OpenCo.nference is a web application. It turns any pc into a video conference pc.

Simple Document Sharing

OpenCo.nference introduces new simple document sharing, which allows documents to be presented and discussed in real time. Traditional document sharing techniques using email or fax are slow, cumbersome, and require a large amount of back and forth dialog. OpenCo.nference eschews these feedback techniques and instead encourages direct communication of all parties involved.

Renting Servers On-Demand

OpenCo is the only company to offer users the ability to rent dedicated virtual meeting servers at less than a hundred dollars a month. Instead of renting virtual rooms, OpenCo rents entire virtual meeting servers. This gives users the freedom to choose how to manage their meetings, and allows for unlimited concurrent meetings.

Pricing and Availability

OpenCo's OpenCo.nference is available now from OpenCo.org and its partners. Pricing starts at $708.00 for an annual contract (http://openco.org/BuyOpenCo.nfrence) (a prepaid annual plan of 59$ per month/server), plus any desired customizations which are application dependent. OpenCo.nference is available as a no cost upgrade for customers of OpenCo's DD052009 family of intelligent video conferencing systems. A 69$ per month/server plan is also available.
