Timico launches ‘Meet Me Now’ service

Timico, an independent B2B internet service provider, announced the launch of its Meet Me Now web conferencing and collaboration service at its annual business partner conference held at the Leicester Tigers rugby ground stadium.

IP collaboration tools such as document sharing, voice and video conferencing are proving to be the perfect solution for many businesses seeking more flexible approaches to how, when and where their employees work.

Timico’s Meet Me Now conferencing and collaboration service allows business professionals to host an online meeting, share presentations or work on documents with others, from any location with an internet connection.

Other attendees can join the meeting from any fixed or mobile telephone in the world, and can see the documents being discussed provided that they have an internet connection. Meet Me Now is effectively a personal virtual meeting room.

All customers have their own personal conference account, with a simple but unique secure access code for publishing to their colleagues and contacts when inviting them to join them online in their meeting room.

“A Meet Me Now meeting is just as effective as an office-based one but is far more efficient in many ways,” says Chris Tombs, Chief Executive of Timico.

“Incorporating both audio and visual elements as well as a video conferencing option, people can now save the time and expense of unnecessary or inefficient travel.

“The applications are endless, whether it’s used to qualify first sales appointments or launch a new product to a large group of potential customers.

“Companies who are adopting IP collaboration technology are realising that they now have flexibility within their business to improve working practices to significantly reduce their travel and hotel costs.”

One of the key advantages of Timico’s Meet Me Now service is that it promotes green technology.

It enables flexible working practices, as extended working hours become more prevalent in business.

As importantly, it enables people who are ‘stuck at home’ for weather, sickness or dependents reasons to still take part in that all important meeting.

“I think the benefits of Timico’s new Meet Me Now service are plain to see.

“It is a simple, easy to use product that is a ‘no brainer’ for me to sell, plus it gives me an extra edge in presenting to my clients.

“It justifies its cost tenfold as it provides an instant ROI by saving customers huge amounts of time and money.

“It is for innovative and resourceful services like Meet Me Now, that I continue to enjoy working alongside Timico,” says Matt Snelus who is Managing Director of Freshbaked Communications, winner of Timico’s Business Partner of the year award, 2009.
