Persony and ThinkEngine Networks Partner
to Offer Cost-Effective Web Conferencing Solutions to Enterprise and
Conferencing Service Providers
Persony and ThinkEngine Networks today announced they have
entered into a reseller agreement providing for the distribution of
Persony VShow software with the VSR 1000 Voice Services Router.
Los Gatos, CA – October 31, 2006. Persony, a cost-effective
web conferencing solution provider, and ThinkEngine Networks (AMEX:CGN),
an innovative provider of carrier-grade Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
and TDM audio conferencing solutions, today announced they have entered
into a reseller agreement providing for the distribution of Persony
VShow software with the VSR 1000 Voice Services Router. Under the
agreement, ThinkEngine will immediately offer a branded version of
Persony VShow web conferencing software with its VSR1000 Voice Services
Router to enterprise and conferencing service provider customers.
Persony VShow uses a standard web server to host meetings and
dramatically reduces the cost of web conferencing. Attendees can join a
meeting with a Flash®-enabled web browser and do not need to download
any software.
ThinkEngine provides next generation audio conferencing solutions at
next generation pricing. The VSR1000 conferencing solution is scalable
from service provider to enterprise customers ranging from hundreds to
thousands of ports.
"We like the ease-of-use of Persony VShow," says Mike Wixon,
ThinkEngine's Vice President of Product Management. "The integration of
the two products is seamless, as Persony's solution uses standard web
servers and browsers. Our customers can deploy the solution very easily
and quickly."
"We believe web conferencing should be just like web hosting, which you
can get from many service providers," says Eric Chen, CEO of Persony.
"The partnership will allow more service providers to offer high quality
audio and web conferencing at very affordable pricing."
In early 2007, Persony and ThinkEngine plan to further integrate the two
products, offering an integrated audio control panel during web
conferences. This will give conference moderators single click access to
both web and audio conferencing.
