REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 14, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CoroWare Technologies, a subsidiary of CoroWare, Inc. (OTCBB:COWI) today announced that it has expanded its Personal Telepresence Service with the addition of media streaming and production services.
Users subscribing to CoroWare's Personal Telepresence Service can now choose to have their video conferencing sessions recorded and broadcasted, or edited in post production processing. Captured sessions allow companies and organizations to use the video conferencing service in new and innovative ways, from conducting sales meetings and employee interviews to creating training programs, promotional materials and webcasts.
Marquis Spas uses its subscription to efficiently and affordably conduct training for field service technicians worldwide. In the past, Marquis Spas held training seminars at several global locations which incurred travel, accommodation and logistical expenses.
"The overall service is fantastic. When we show people what we have, they're impressed by the clarity," said Phil Olszewski, Director of Information Technology for Marquis Spas. "We completed effective service training for pennies on the dollar compared to previous methods. Reducing travel helped us reach more technicians; ultimately providing better support for our customers and dealers."
CoroWare's Personal Telepresence Service is a high-definition, multi-participant, video conferencing service that can be accessed from broadband and 3G wireless Internet connections. Customers pay monthly subscription fees based on the number of minutes, participants and virtual conference rooms needed.
"CoroWare's combination of telepresence and media services provide our customers with a powerful tool for improving collaboration and reducing operational expenses for small and large companies alike," said Lloyd Spencer, CEO of CoroWare. "This expanded line of business will further our commitment to delivering affordable telepresence and media production services to customers worldwide."
