IMTC Launches New Membership Program to Meet the Growing Needs of Small/Start-up Unified Communications/Multimedia Companies


The International Multimedia Telecommunications Consortium (News - Alert) (IMTC) announces the launch of a new membership program to accommodate the needs and demands of the growing number of small/start-up companies in the Unified Communications (News - Alert) (UC) and multimedia communications industry.

This new "start-up" membership program available for qualified companies provides a very cost-effective way to participate in the IMTC. At the reduced rate of $2,000 per year, start-ups receive several key benefits:

  • IMTC SuperOp! - ability to participate in all IMTC events, including IMTC's flagship annual SuperOp interoperability testing event;
  • IMTC Activity Groups - lead and influence the industry in the same way as the well-known and established companies through participation in the IMTC's Activity Groups, which develop test specifications, use case requirements, information models, best practices and other relevant documents;
  • Brand Awareness - build their brand through the strength and reach of the IMTC and its world-class membership, to get a leg up over the competition and increase their company's visibility among industry leaders and influencers;
  • Industry Collaboration - network and collaborate with the giants of the UC industry and thought leaders and decision-makers from organizations of any size. This will enable start-ups to better grow their businesses by identifying new UC market opportunities, expand into adjacent markets, and enable new services.

"With technologies evolving and changing at an ever quickening pace, IMTC is unique because it provides a neutral environment allowing all members of any size to work together to improve the end-user experience and help drive adoption of all types of UC and mulimedia technologies," said Anatoli Levine, IMTC President and Director of Product Management at Spirent (News - Alert) Communications. "IMTC's platform of services along with this new membership program enables start-up companies to collaborate with organizations of all sizes to help them reduce costs, leverage strengths, accelerate scale and amplify industry influence to generate better business results."

IMTC helps level the playing field among competitors and partners of all sizes, by enabling more effective collaboration and creating an avenue to influence the industry.
