It is offered through Globe Business, the group in Globe Telecom that serves small, medium and large enterprises in the Philippines with a comprehensive range of ICT solutions relevant to various business needs.

"With the combined strength of Globe and Cisco, an acknowledged industry leader in collaboration solutions, we are proud to announce a fuller suite of conferencing services for our customers," said Grace Jarin-Castillo, Enterprise Segments head of Globe Business. "Our partnership with Cisco ensures our customers that they are getting the most flexible and reliable web conferencing solution available in the market today."

Globe Web Conferencing combines desktop sharing through a web browser with phone conferencing and video, enabling faster distribution of information.

Users will be able to transfer files easily and securely, avoiding the limitations and security risks of emailing large presentations or files to participants after the meeting has ended. Further, it can immediately connect users from remote locations and allows them to make decisions faster without the need for travel.

This collaboration solution also enables business customers to stay connected with their colleagues wherever they are. With Globe Web Conferencing, users can take part in any web conference right from their mobile devices. They can schedule, host and attend meetings straight from their iPhones, iPads, Androids, BlackBerry handsets, or any Wi-Fi or 3G-enabled mobile device.

"We are delighted to present our enterprise customers with another advanced conferencing solution that enables effective and convenient business collaborations. Globe Web Conferencing further expands our suite of collaboration tools, which already include Audio Conferencing and Telepresence, our most advanced, close-to-live conferencing solution," said Globe Business head Jesus C. Romero. (PR)
