iLinc Selected By Menttium For Web & Audio Conferencing
Company Switches to iLinc Web Conferencing for Superior Capabilities and Savings
PHOENIX, Arizona (March 01, 2006) –
iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), developers of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions today announced MENTTIUM® Corporation, the global leader in today’s corporate mentoring models, has selected iLinc for company-wide Web and audio conferencing. MENTTIUM switched from WebEx to iLinc’s Web conferencing software, enabling the organization to purchase and own their Web conferencing solution and eliminate their recurring WebEx fees. The company projects that their iLinc solution will pay for itself within 18 months by eliminating their monthly WebEx charges.
MENTTIUM uses Web and audio conferencing to support their mentoring programs as well as internal staff meetings and training. MENTTIUM selected the iLinc hosted software solution, which enables companies to buy their Web conferencing software and host it at the iLinc co-location facility. The result is that these organizations enjoy the savings of a one-time purchase fee for unlimited Web conferencing without placing extra responsibility on their IT resources.
“Web conferencing is an integral part of what we do every day. We were looking for a solution that would address the growing needs of all of our different departments that depend on Web conferencing but would also make better financial sense for the entire company,” said Kimberly Vappie, Chief Operating Officer for MENTTIUM Corporation. “iLinc offered us better functionality, reliability, and value as well as outstanding service and support to make the transition to iLinc quick and painless. We are now enjoying a better product and saving substantial amounts of money.”
“We are continuing to convert new customers from other Web conferencing providers because of our ability to provide a software model for Web conferencing that can be purchased for a one-time fee yet hosted within our co-location facility,” noted James M. Powers, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of iLinc Communications. “MENTTIUM is another example of a company that uses Web and audio conferencing throughout their organization and will save tremendous amounts of money by owning their own software solution instead of renting it from another provider.”
