To augment the company's video conferencing services, Video Guidance has launched a new cloud-based initiative that unites previously incompatible audio, video and web technologies.

VG Connect's MeetingSpace offers easy-to-use virtual meeting rooms, allowing face-to-face calls with anyone at any time. With a single click, people can join MeetingSpace using a phone, a tablet, a computer, a video system. Calls can be adhoc or scheduled.

Regarded for featuring the next generation of technology in an ever-changing industry, Video Guidance, is an independent, strategic visual communications company that customizes state-of-the-art products, services and solutions from the world's finest manufacturers.

"Because we are an independent provider, e are in the unique position of offering to our customers the industry's latest and best leading-edge technology," said Michael Werch, founder and president of Video Guidance, the first provider in the U.S. to launch the one-of-a-kind Acano technology as a cloud service nationally.

Video Guidance's cloud-based services open up business-to-business and business-to-consumer opportunities, as well as applications that range from medical specialists seeing patients, to financial managers meeting clients, to educators communicating with students, and to enterprises that utilize Microsoft (News - Alert) Lync. Video Guidance, a go-to strategic partner for Acano in the U.S., has diligently tested these enhanced cloud-based services and is aggressively marketing them nationwide. The company is currently working with a number of customers in its initial evaluations and deployments.
