Telecom Consulting Group (TCG) to Resell iMeet® Portfolio to U.S. Businesses
New Strategic Alliance Empowers TCG's 800+ Master Agents and Resellers with PGi's Award-winning Suite of UC&C Software and Services
ATLANTA, June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PGi (NYSE: PGi), the world's largest dedicated provider of collaboration software and services, today announced a new strategic alliance with Telecom Consulting Group, Inc. (TCG) to equip TCG's more than 800 master agents and resellers with PGi's expanding suite of unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) solutions, including its award-winning iMeet portfolio of products.
iMeet gives users the power to meet via web, video or audio conferencing—however and wherever they want—from a single, easy-to-use desktop, web or mobile application, or any telephone device. iMeet was designed to have the industry's most elegant and appealing user interface, to be the most intuitive and enjoyable way to meet online.
"We see the industry increasingly moving beyond traditional, phone-based conferencing toward more robust solutions for unified business collaboration," said Alan Mushlin, TCG Partner. "By aligning with PGi, we have access to the innovative solutions we need to fill that gap within our portfolio and to arm our agents and resellers with the products and services they need to compete in this quickly evolving, high-growth market."
"TCG is a recognized leader in IT and communications consulting and services, with an impressive partner and master agent program. This alliance opens new opportunities for PGi and our flagship iMeet solution, as we continue our strategic focus on growing market share for our UC&C portfolio of products," said Ralph Hawkins, SVP of PGi Partner Channel. "Together, TCG and PGi will help businesses collaborate more effectively, improve productivity, grow revenue and drive business results."
In addition to all-in-one web, video and audio conferencing, PGi's expanding iMeet portfolio of UC&C products also includes webcasting and an award-winning smart calendar app. PGi recently announced the integration of iMeet into all popular video room systems and endpoints, extending the utility of an organization's video investments to any desktop or smart mobile device. In the coming months, iMeet will release several new innovations in online team workspaces, project management and sales acceleration.
