PHOENIX (BusinessWire EON) September 17, 2007 --
Government organizations faced with critical communications technology
decisions are influenced by factors unique to the public sector
including security mandates, regulatory statutes, preparedness and
telework initiatives all while continuing to meet high performance
expectations. Recently several state governments have turned to iLinc
Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), a leading developer of Web conferencing
software and audio conferencing solutions, to provide that balance
between performance and security.
Arizona, Utah, Oregon and Louisiana are all using iLinc’s
Collaboration Web conferencing suite among their state agencies to
reduce travel time, decrease time spent making critical decisions, save
money and even realize substantial environmental
benefits. iLinc offers the most advanced encryption methods,
requires no third-party plug-ins and no changes to network or desktop
configurations. Since iLinc can be installed securely behind the agency’s
firewall, there are no concerns about uploading confidential information
to an outside server. iLinc also offers a secure hosting solution for
agencies that wish to take advantage of the return on investment
associated with a software purchase but would rather have iLinc provide
their software as a Web-based software as a service.
“We use iLinc to perform multiple online
training sessions weekly for our staff and managers,”
says David Ray Walker, Training and Development, Distance Learning
Group, Oregon Department of Human
Services. “The software enables us to
reach more students without having to bring everyone into the same
location, saving time and money.”
In Arizona, iLinc will be used as the Web conferencing software and
audio conferencing solution of choice by the Arizona
Department of Health Services, Arizona
Health Care Cost Containment System, Arizona
Department of Commerce, Arizona
Government University, Office
of the Governor, and Government
Information Technology Agency. Other state agencies are expected to
be added over the next 12 months.
“We looked at many solutions, and iLinc simply
came out ahead in terms of the technology,”
said Chris Cummiskey, Chief Information Officer for the State
of Arizona, and Director for the Government Information Technology
Agency. “We’re
really excited about the iLinc Web conferencing solution and how it
will, in a very short time, be able to demonstrate productivity and
environmental benefits.”
iLinc is the only enterprise-class Web conferencing provider that offers
a hybrid license model whereby organizations can purchase iLinc’s
award-winning web conferencing software in combination with hosting the
solution with iLinc. Customers own the web conferencing software
providing an unmatched return-on-investment, yet get all the benefits of
the hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) model. This flexibility has
proven valuable to government entities looking for a range of
implementation models across multiple agencies.
