(PRWEB) May 23, 2005 -- Collabits, a software developer of online meeting and
collaboration services, today announced the debut of its online meeting and
collaboration solution branded “Collabits Online Meetings” that delivers true
universal application sharing on any computing platform among Windows, MAC,
Linux, UNIX and OS2 users with complete encryption capabilities as if face to
face. The Company also launched its solution as a free 1-to-1 sharing service
for online meetings up to 45 minutes in length.
“We are very excited to
make this debut, for Collabits is the only online workplace meeting and
collaboration tool that enables 100% worker participation – regardless of
computing platform – and the option of behind-the-firewall hosting security,”
said Lingaraj Mishra, president of Collabits, which is owned and operated by
Yugma, Inc. “To this end, Collabits bridges the gap between the virtual and
mobile office environment with a technology solution that is both practical and
agnostic, ultimately overcoming electronic proximity issues and increasing
productivity.”
An answer that transcends the Microsoft Windows
environment, the Collabits solution is offered as an ASP service for
enterprises, small groups and individuals who want to collaborate on projects
without having to manage them by themselves. In addition, Collabits offers
complete encryption capabilities and the option to host meetings on a company’s
internal servers as well as enabling shared or read-only document controls. This
true security makes Collabits an ideal platform for public or private chatting,
another one of its features. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Collabits
offers the ability for users to record and playback its sessions.
“Well
positioned to meet the growing demand of global outsourcing and electronic
proximity issues in a secure, reliable and cost-effective way, Collabits is
paving the way for affordable, on-going online meetings and collaboration,” said
Mishra. “Our mission is to empower organizations and its employees to experience
the increased productivity and cost savings that online meetings and
collaboration bring to everyday work life.”
A Closer Look at
Collabits
Collabits is more than just an online meeting solution. It can be
used everyday, by anyone for spontaneous, on-the-fly meetings and chat with a
click of the mouse, a PC and a browser. For those who don't have the time or
resources to bring team members together to design a new product, for instance,
Collabits enables remote users to come together using its technology in such a
way that they can create, view and edit documents from any location, source or
format – even if only one person has the file application. If knowledge workers
are concerned about online communication tools during collaboration time,
Collabits also provides secure public and private chat.
Practical Uses of
Collabits Online Meetings
Training employees who are located around the
country or the world, by bringing everyone to one place – no matter their
computer platform or software, and even recording and playing back training
sessions for ease of recall – is a challenge that Collabits rises to
gracefully.
The notion of Collabits being software and hardware agnostic
also applies to conducting product demos and sales presentations. Users can give
product demonstrations from afar and easily chat with potential customers for
instant feedback. “Sales presentation to customers can be delivered with
confidence knowing that technical problems won’t get in the way,” says
Mishra.
Or, if a project leader is finding it difficult to manage
multiple projects simultaneously, projects that require the participation of
multiple people with conflicting schedules, participants can use Collabits to
work on documents crucial to meetings where it records and archives all
sessions, which are available for replay at a later date.
“The next time
you need to work simultaneously on documents and applications, need to provide
interactive training, or record and archive session content, consider
Collabits,” says Mishra. “Not only will you reduce time and travel costs, but
you'll be able to share project space and resources more fully as well as
communicate with more depth, detail and clarity.”
Collaborating on
documents, including proposals, budgets, tech support, web design and project
management, is a snap with Collabits. Users can:
• Collaborate on a contract
with their lawyer in real-time and chat privately with others in complete
anonymity
• Develop proposals with co-workers at the speed of business
•
Offer read-only or enable shared control depending on the situation
• Work on
budgets and finance documents hassle-free
• Respond and resolve tech support
issues with customers no matter their hardware or software platform
• View
Web design projects in real-time without the development site being
hosted
