Based on extensive industry experience operating large video collaboration infrastructures, VidSoft now offers its proven solution as an affordable hosted service.

Cambridge and Dresden, 8th of March 2007

Distributed teams, constantly changing project assignments organizational shifts, and the need for worldwide presence as a result of globalization, are enormously increasing the demand for efficient real-time collaboration solutions that support faster decision making and smarter problem solving. Many small and mid-sized companies as well as large corporations are struggling to properly scope their need for a collaboration solution including the need for departmental and project-based solutions. Having to invest in a new IT application and the resources to support implementation, service and maintenance, often forms a large barrier to entry for companies. VidSoft Hosted Services offer the best of both worlds – an internet-based service with the quality of an in-house solution. VidSoft Hosted Services will be presented at CeBIT and available for the market beginning May 2007.

“VidSoft is the sum of many separate offerings being sold by various vendors today. It’s Web Conferencing + Video + VoIP -- three applications for the price of one,” emphasizes Scott Sullivan, CEO at VidSoft, Inc.

Sascha Kuemmel, CTO and Managing Director of VidSoft GmbH adds: “VidSoft allows users to quickly share and present files from any application. The colors are true, audio quality is excellent, as is the video quality with 30 fps up to full PAL resolution (706x576). The solution also includes instant messaging, chat and file transfer”.

Additional highlights of VidSoft are its high security using permanent strong encryption on all connections, ease of use and the solution’s ability to automatically adapt to diverse user and network environments. A dedicated private area can be assigned to a group of users, in which separate communication is possible.

The very attractive price starts at $33 per user per month (25 Euro) without telephone dial-in or access for guests. Additionally, a public meeting option, which contains telephone dial-in options for meetings as well as the possibility to invite 10 guest participants, can be booked for $42 (35 Euro) per month. Guests are participants who are not registered for VidSoft Hosted Services. Using the public meeting option, a customer of VidSoft Hosted Services is allowed to communicate with up to 10 guests of his choice simultaneously without any time or capacity restrictions for $79 (60 Euro) per month. This is especially attractive to users, who constantly have to communicate with often changing communities (customers, contractors, journalists, analysts etc.).

VidSoft offers VidSoft Hosted Services as a low priced, internet-based rich media communication solution, which allows for seamless online collaboration using integrated Audio, Video and Web conferencing – right from the desktop. Using VidSoft for communication is multifunctional and far more productive and less costly than conventional methods. The TV-quality video makes users feel as if they are sitting together at the same table – even though they are thousands of miles apart from each other. VidSoft will present its solutions live at the CeBIT 2007 in Hall 4 Booth A58 between March 15th and 21st, 2007 in Hanover/Germany.
