CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InterCall®, a subsidiary of West Corporation and the world's largest conferencing and collaboration services provider, announced today that InterCall Unified Meeting® received the Communications Solutions 2011 Product of the Year Award from TMC, a global, integrated media company.
The annual award, which acknowledges the most innovative products that facilitate voice, data and/or video communications is given to companies that have demonstrated a commitment to quality and excellence for the development of the communications industry, according to a statement from Erik Linask, TMC’s Group Editorial Director.
InterCall Unified Meeting was recognized for its ability to help organizations of all sizes improve collaboration between individuals and teams by providing an easy-to-use, efficient platform for web conferencing and online meetings. It improves on the traditional virtual meeting with simplified scheduling, one click join, streamlined management and intuitive collaboration.
“Communications tools are supposed to make it easier for employees and business partners to collaborate,” said Rob Bellmar, Vice President of Products at InterCall. “But if they’re not designed properly, they can actually have the opposite effect. We’ve worked hard to ensure our conferencing and collaboration services enhance the user experience rather than get in the way.”
With InterCall Unified Meeting, users can:
- Schedule calls with a single click
- Join without fumbling for passcodes from computers and iPhones®, Android™ or Blackberry® phones
- Manage meetings securely, know who is actively speaking, or even “close the door” to prevent intruders or distractions
- Share documents and collaborate with participants in real-time
- Record a meeting
- Form chat groups, distribute surveys and quiz participants during a meeting
- Start a meeting on-the-fly
2011 Product of the Year winners will be announced on the websites for INTERNET TELEPHONY and Customer Interaction Solutions (which will become TMC’s CUSTOMER Magazine in September 2012).
