PHASE 2 Broadens SaaS Portfolio with ShareMeeting -- New Web Conferencing Service

  February 21, 2008, Honolulu, HI -- PHASE 2 International, a worldwide provider of hosted business applications, has announced the availability of ShareMeeting. ShareMeeting is a feature-rich web conferencing solution that works using Flash, and doesn’t require any downloads to use. A single-click login allows users to begin sharing documents and ideas via the web. It is compatible with PC, Mac and Linux platforms, and includes screen sharing, PowerPoint broadcast, whiteboard functions, picture sharing, file transfer, audio, and more.

ShareMeeting is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering hosted by PHASE 2. Subscribers no longer need to worry about the cost of servers, software upgrades, or in-house IT staff. Recent industry reports estimate that SaaS can save a company up to 80 percent of the costs associated with traditional software and hardware installations.

PHASE 2 has distinguished itself by offering a complete suite of business applications, either stand-alone or in bundled packages. Bundling applications dramatically cuts costs, delivers one integrated solution, and simplifies corporate workflows. ShareMeeting is available for $23.99 per month, or less if bundled with other applications.

According to Don Stroud, CEO of Stroud Technology Solutions, “There are several hosting services across the United States trying to provide similar services, but none with the impressive suite of fully integrated applications as PHASE 2.”

Additional PHASE 2 services include: MS Project Server, MS SharePoint, MS Exchange, MS Office Communicator, and MS Dynamics CRM. The company has also developed ShareCAD Pro, an application which allows users to effectively collaborate on complex AutoCAD projects.
