MANIILA, Philippines — Globe Telecom recently announced the launch of its Web Conferencing service, the company’s latest addition to its portfolio of innovative and state-of-the-art collaboration solutions.

Powered by Cisco WebEx, the service allows users to connect and conduct meetings with virtually anyone and anywhere in real time. 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,” she added.

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.

According to Globe Business Head Jesus C. Romero, “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.”

Globe’s simplest and easiest to use collaboration tool, Audio Conferencing, is a service that permits users to conduct business meetings with their colleagues from various sites through landline and mobile phones. This allows customers to connect up to 200 people, and has added features of transcription and translation to provide participants access to all the meeting details.

Alternatively, there is Globe TelePresence, which utilizes the most advanced collaboration technologies to closely replicate an “in-person” meeting experience. It supports real-time high-definition video and spatial audio, and connects Globe customers to more than 2,000 telepresence rooms located in 75 countries and territories worldwide.
