ATLANTA, Nov. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PGi (NYSE:
PGI), the world's largest dedicated provider of collaboration
software and services, today launched iMeet Central, its online
team workspace and project management product.
iMeet Central provides centralized workspaces for internal and
external teams to share and collaborate on files, manage projects,
automate processes, review and approve creative assets and – with
the click of a button – launch iMeet meetings. With robust
reporting and administrative capabilities, cloud-based iMeet
Central is easy to use and easy to implement without involving
technical teams or IT resources. The new iMeet Central brand is
being rolled out to the half a million users of Central Desktop,
which PGi acquired in 2014.
"To drive results, teams need to be productive wherever and
whenever they choose. iMeet Central delivers on this promise of
anywhere, anytime work by removing all boundaries—including
location and time—to collaboration," said J. Scott Tapp, EVP Sales & Marketing, PGi.
"We're excited to welcome iMeet Central is an important addition to
the iMeet portfolio."
In addition to the new brand, iMeet Central has continued to
evolve with new features designed to enhance the usability and
extensibility of the product, including:
- Stronger project scheduling and file management. More
granular calendar management and scheduling lets project managers
tightly control projects and deadlines. The ability to attach and
manage files directly within tasks improves context and speeds up
the process. Additionally, proactive notifications around
dependencies tee up resources sooner for the next step in a project
to promote a more productive experience.
- New API enhancements to enable more integrations.
Developers can now use the new JSON-based REST API to integrate
with legacy systems or develop their own applications to accomplish
tasks such as logging time data for enhanced client billing,
kicking off projects and workspaces instantly and using callbacks
to notify other applications of project status.
- Flexible, global cloud infrastructure provides better
international access. By partnering with a leading cloud
provider, iMeet Central can now leverage an even larger global
footprint and physical infrastructure without sacrificing security
or performance for clients outside of the US.
In addition to team workspaces and project management, PGi's
expanding iMeet portfolio of unified communications and
collaboration (UC&C) products also includes all-in-one web,
video and audio conferencing, webcasting, a smart calendar app and
integration with all popular video room systems and endpoints. PGi
recently launched iMeet Sales Accelerator to helps sales
professionals prospect smarter and close deals faster with powerful
video-narrated presentations.
For users that depend on Central Desktop, now iMeet Central, to
get their daily work done, a full support guide is available online
in the application help center. For more about iMeet Central, visit
