(AMEX:ILC), developers of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions, today announced that Scientific Technologies Corporation (STC), a leading provider of public health information technology solutions has selected iLinc Web conferencing. STC estimates they will save approximately $40,000 over the next two years by switching their conferencing service from their previous provider, WebEx(TM), to iLinc Web and audio conferencing. The company has purchased and now owns iLinc licenses, which allows them to pay a one-time fee for Web conferencing licenses with a small recurring annual fee for maintenance and the hosting of their licenses. In a recent survey conducted with 100 of the most recent companies that switched from WebEx to iLinc, 92% estimated they would save between $10,000 and $20,000 each year using iLinc instead of WebEx. Additionally, 94% reported that the best part of the switch was ed functionality that iLinc provides.

With employees located in 5 different offices and approximately 25% of their personnel in remote home offices, STC relies on Web conferencing to enable their staff to collaborate. The Company also uses their iLinc system for sales demonstrations and to provide online technical support to their customers using SupportLinc, part of the iLinc Web conferencing suite, which enables customer support professionals to view and take control of a customer’s desktop to diagnose support cases.
“We purchased our iLinc Web conferencing licenses for about what we pay WebEx every year. Next year and every subsequent year we will only have to pay for the maintenance and hosting of our licenses, which is about 10% of what we used to pay for WebEx every year,” commented Patrick Jarvis, IT Manager for Scientific Technologies Corporation. “iLinc also offers many more features than our previous provider. Our iLinc system gives us access to specific modalities for online meetings, customer support, training, and Web casts that match the most common ways we use Web conferencing as a company. And importantly, they also offer better options for management of users and content as well as the ability to customize the entire system to match our company branding.”
“Most of the organizations that we speak with are shocked when they realize they can own their Web conferencing solution instead of paying expensive recurring monthly or yearly fees for their service,” noted James M. Powers, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of iLinc Communications. “iLinc provides licensing structures that are cost-effective for organizations with Web conferencing usage that is very light to very large, and for all points in between. We also offer a clear migration path that enables companies to move from per-minute Web and audio conferencing users to concurrent license purchasers as their needs grow.”
