One of the biggest advantages of cloud based services and specifically cloud video conferencing is the ability to continually roll out new features and functionality without forcing users to upgrade hardware or make additional investments.

Last year, IVCi introduced our Cloud Video Experience service which offers a complete video conferencing solution delivered from the cloud. The service allows video conferencing hardware or software clients to be instantly deployed and connected to a world-wide network. The end result can be an entire organization with hundreds or even thousands of employees equipped with the ability to video call each other or anyone using standards-based video conferencing.

In addition, users are equipped with virtual meeting rooms (VMRs) that allow for up to 30 participants to meet in a single meeting. These VMRs also offer the ability for web browsers and other software like Microsoft Lync to join seamlessly.

Today we are excited to bring the next phase of CVE, the MyCVE portal. MyCVE enables users to easily manage their video conferencing setup, moderate their virtual meeting room and even quickly download any needed software.

In addition to MyCVE, we have also made a scheduling plugin available, making it incredibly easy to schedule a video call directly within Microsoft Outlook. The plugin will automatically create an invite that contains a link to everything the user needs to join the meeting via video.

In addition to the innovations above, CVE now offers user based pricing. This means for one low monthly subscription users can be equipped with a video client (on their laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc) as well as an unlimited use virtual meeting room.

The promise of video conferencing is really about giving everyone access. This new licensing and pricing model makes it easier than ever to bring video to your entire organization.
