iLinc Selected By The State Of Oregon
Third Departmental Sale by iLinc Under Statewide Contract
PHOENIX, Arizona (January 12, 2006) –
iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), developers of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions announced today that the company has signed a new contract with the State of Oregon for Web conferencing and collaboration. iLinc is now the Web conferencing standard for three departments with the state including the Oregon Department of Transportation, Department of Human Services and the Public Employee Retirement System. iLinc Communications won the initial statewide sourcing contract through a blind evaluation process in which Web conferencing software vendors submitted their products and pricing to an independent state evaluation committee for review. The committee judged each organization on their product’s functionality, stability, support, and overall value. The iLinc software was chosen by this independent committee as having the highest overall rating among the Web conferencing market leaders competing in the evaluation.
“The Oregon Department of Human Services uses iLinc for a variety of online events and meetings, but we have found our most common use of the iLinc software is for the delivery of distance training,” said DavidRay Walker from the Training and Development, Distance Learning Group. “We are using the software to perform multiple online training sessions weekly for our staff and managers. The software enables us to reach more students without having to bring everyone into the same location, saving time and money. Also, the service and support that iLinc offers is excellent. The iLinc staff is knowledgeable and friendly.”
“Many notable local, state, and federal government organizations have chosen iLinc Web conferencing as their standard for collaboration,” commented James M. Powers, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of iLinc Communications. “In independent evaluations, our software consistently receives the highest marks from government organizations that are looking to deploy a Web conferencing standard for use by all of their staff because we offer one of the deepest feature sets, the highest level of data security available, quick and cost-effective implementation, and importantly, the ability to purchase and own Web conferencing software licenses without the expense of costly annual usage fees.”
