ConnectSolutions, a leading provider of real-time collaboration solutions, today announced plans to fully support Adobe® Connect™ 8 on the ConnectSolutions Managed Service platform. Adobe Connect 8 offers powerful new capabilities including a simpler and more intuitive user interface for improved usability, enhanced audio/ video integration for richer participant experiences, a new optional desktop client for improved access, and a software development kit (SDK) for even greater solution extensibility.
“At ConnectSolutions, we have a commitment to help our customers use Adobe Connect to meet all of their web conferencing and collaboration needs,” said CEO and Co-Founder Michael Fitzpatrick. “We look forward to helping enterprises and government agencies hold highly productive collaborative sessions, in a highly secure, yet flexible format.”
Adobe Connect 8 includes a number of innovative new features that will benefit ConnectSolutions customers.
Increased Security and Reliability: Enhancements in Adobe Connect 8 strengthen meeting security with advanced meeting management controls. Meeting hosts can decrease the risk of unauthorized access with meeting passwords. This major upgrade also includes performance enhancements including enhanced fail-over support that will enable ConnectSolutions to provide a higher level of service while reducing overall costs to manage Adobe Connect servers.
Better Integration and Customization: Adobe Connect was the first web conferencing product to open up its platform to developers with extensive APIs. Adobe Connect 8 provides a completely revamped foundation for ConnectSolutions to provide deeper integrations for our enterprise and government customers. The completely revamped Collaboration SDK, based on the Adobe Flex® framework, provides a robust development environment for ConnectSolutions to enhance meetings with custom functionality. The newly released XMPP chat server integration will allow customers to seamlessly integrate Adobe Connect with their Unified Communications infrastructure.
Richer Meeting Experience: New enhancements in the area of video and multimedia empower users to conduct more engaging meetings. In Adobe Connect 8, users can quickly and easily utilize graphics and high-quality video to increase meeting and training effectiveness. Integration with video conferencing systems will breathe new life into room-based video conferencing systems that too often remain dark.
“Adobe Connect 8 includes many enhancements that will benefit our customers,” Fitzpatrick added. “Innovative new features like drag-and-drop multimedia playback and integration with dedicated video conferencing systems will undoubtedly enable our customers to run meetings more efficiently and engage attendees like never before.”
