We plan to continue to enhance the iMeet platform to accommodate more of our users' everyday business communications — from sales presentations, remote candidate interviews and video chats to board of directors meetings."

"We have seen tremendous uptake of desktop and mobile video conferencing applications, resulting in significant market growth," said Roopam Jain of Frost & Sullivan. "PGi's release of iMeet 2.0 demonstrates the company's commitment to both the end user experience and the enterprise buyer, and it positions them to capture increased demand within the market."

iMeet lets up to 15 people meet face-to-face online from anywhere in the world using their desktop, tablet or smartphone.  iMeet is one tool for all your audio, web and video meetings, and it has received several leading industry awards, including the Silver award for New Product Innovation by the internationally renowned 2012 Edison Awards.

"iMeet has revolutionized the way we do business," said Laura LaBine of Vaco, a recruiting and consulting firm that specializes in placing senior level financial and accounting professionals. "The new Spotlight Cube feature really assists me in reading the body language and facial responses in meetings.  Because the screen share is remarkably crisp and shown in real-time, our online interviews can be more collaborative. We chose iMeet because it's simple to use and is a better way to form more personal connections through video. We can have higher quality interactions thanks to iMeet."
