Alphalogix Spins Off Its Next Generation of Integrated Conferencing Products as BrightCom

Orange County, CA (PRWEB) October 3, 2005

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 an 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 an 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.
