Alphalogix Spins Off Its Next Generation of Integrated Conferencing...

Alphalogix, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise software solutions and services, announced today the spin off of its former Advanced Collaboration Products Division as BrightCom. The new entity, BrightCom, will be focused on delivering best-of-breed integrated conferencing solutions for business customers. BrightCom solutions are designed for use inside the customer's firewall to eliminate typical reoccurring hosting charges for conferencing services. BrightCom solutions include instant messaging, audio, video, and web conferencing solutions.



BrightCom offers a unique perspective on corporate conferencing solutions by offering a series of products that integrate together to provide clients a more comprehensive set of conferencing tools with greater ease of use and lower total cost of ownership. "We specialize in creating advanced collaboration and communication products and solutions for business customers." says President John Mudge. "By offering a full line of conferencing and collaboration tools, we can better service enterprise customers to fulfill their collaboration requirements." continues Mudge.



BrightCom's CEO, Bob McCandless added, "One of the primary issues with communication tools is that there are varying technologies that do not integrate with each other. For example, point-to-point video solutions require a dedicated network and are unable to integrate with web conferencing or instant messaging technology. At the same time, current web conferencing technologies are unable to integrate with telephony solutions which results in users utilizing web conferencing software separately from a conference call system. BrightCom's unique Integrated Conferencing solutions bring together these disparate technologies into one comprehensive solution."



Integrated Conferencing allows companies to lower their total cost of ownership while still using best-of-breed solutions to provide a unified conferencing system. BrightCom solutions are designed to be placed inside a customers network as opposed to typical hosted offerings. This strategy eliminates reoccurring hosted service charges and increases the range of features and security options available to business users.



BrightCom's Integrated Conferencing solutions are divided into four different groups:



Instant Messaging/Awareness

With the enterprise customer in mind, BrightCom has created a set of versatile instant messaging solutions. BrightCom IM solutions provide the security and scalability required in a corporate environment.

Instant messaging solutions include:



The Versona Instant Messaging System (VIMS) - The Versona Instant Messaging System is a complete client/server application which provides a scalable instant messaging server and an integrated client designed for the enterprise market. With client software streamed from the server, there is no client-side installation resulting in easier management. VIMS also has the ability to integrate with third party instant messaging solutions such as AIM, Yahoo Messenger and MSN to provide additional flexibility for the corporate user.



GlobalConnect - GlobalConnect allows companies to connect different instant messaging systems together to form a single instant messaging infrastructure, such as bridging Microsoft Live Communications Server and IBM/ Lotus Sametime. With GlobalConnect, employees can communicate with each other regardless of the instant messaging system they use.



Web Conferencing

BrightCom's web conferencing products provide enterprise customers with state of the art, feature rich, cross-platform solutions. They include the ability to integrate with video and audio conferencing technologies to enhance web conferencing far beyond competitive products.



Web conferencing solutions include:

The Visual Collaboration System (VCS) - The Visual Collaboration System is a fully integrated "plug and play" network appliance solution optimized for hosting rich, interactive, live collaborative meetings via a web browser. Simply plug the unit into your network and you can be hosting a live web conference in just a few minutes. As an integrated hardware and software solution, the Visual Collaboration System eliminates the deployment time, challenges and costs of server based systems, offers a richer feature set than competing offerings, and eliminates reoccurring hosting costs.



Video Conferencing

Current Video Conference solutions rely on a dedicated network infrastructure while BrightCom's solutions provide high-resolution, point-to-point video over an enterprises current network infrastructure. All BrightCom video conferencing products are able to integrate with web and audio conferencing solutions for a truly interactive meeting experience at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions.



Products include:

ClearView - BrightCom's ClearView line of products provide state of the art audio and video conferencing.
