GoToMeeting: Offshore Collaboration As It Should Be

Filed in archive Believe It or Not on April 22, 2005

Offshoring entrepreneurs have a wide range of free collaboration tools to choose from. There are weblogs, instant messengers, email, among a lot of other things. However, these methods may not be the most flexible or even secure means of getting a message across... and when it comes to networking many users at a time, they can even be totally useless.

The fact is, you just don't look through the free stuff to get the most powerful tool for setting up professional meetings on the fly. You turn to sophisticated enterprise-level software like GoToMeeting. It comes at a flat fee of US$39 per month, with no time limits and no per minute charges, a pricing scheme its makers have aptly trademarked "All-You-Can-Meet."

GoToMeeting distinguishes itself from other collaboration software by not giving the user a hard time at installation. A quick and secure applet plug-in just needs to be set up once, and the entire system is ready to go. No licensing is required for other meeting attendees -- plus! the application goes through firewalls, which is especially useful when contacting partners or clients behind heavily regulated networks.

Besides the firewall advantage, GoToMeeting enables all the participating individuals to view and ALTER the contents of one presenter's desktop in real time; in this manner, the presenter has all the avenues to initiate a visually rich, fully interactive discussion. And yet All-You-Can-Meet sessions are protected by end-to-end 128-bit AES encryption, and demand unique IDs and passwords -- in other words, it is entirely secure.

GoToMeeting is easily one of the most advanced and functional collaboration software to date. It is highly recommended to offshoring entrepreneurs who want to explore the potentials and limits of completely borderless interaction, without the nuisance of exorbitant usage fees.
