Customizable Web Conferencing Solutions

A boutique Approach to Your Web Conferencing Needs

At omNovia Technologies we chose our path years ago to focus on quality web conferencing as opposed to quantity. omNovia Web Conference was indeed built for a company with specific demanding requirements not met by commercial web conferencing tools. Over the years we have thrived by listening closely to our valued customers and building a genuine relationship as a technical partner. A typical problem encountered with SaaS (Software as a Service) companies is often the lack of control over its functionalities as they may evolve based on what other customers are asking for. At omNovia Technologies we take a different approach. New features always come as optional and will not force new habits on existing customers.

Reliability is critical in web conferencing. Similar to electricity, you need your web conference service to work all the time and not only most of the time. While providing a unique level of reliability capable of hosting up to 5,000 simultaneous participants with high quality audio, video and other interactive tools, we never put more than 800 people on the same server compared to over 8,000 with most commercial web conferencing tools.

In addition to easy configuration and integration options offered by the omNovia Web Conference, you can work with omNovia engineers to add new functions to your room. A large number of our customers have chosen us for the customizability of our system. Here are a few examples of custom projects we have completed often within a few weeks if not days:

• Ability to send SMS messages to mobile phones from within the web conference room
• Adding a floating photo viewer to show pictures to attendees
• Ability to add a custom tab in the room to process credit cards
• Option to play MP3 files for participants
• Option to play custom Flash movies in the room
• Option to play a movie at event registration

Creating/Hosting Own web System vs. omNovia

Over the years we have come across customers who wanted to design and/or host their own web conferencing system within their premises since they had experienced problems with commercial hosted web conferencing providers. Many changed their minds when they learned more about how omNovia worked with its customers. Others regretted their decision after months of costly and time-consuming developments. Here are a few reasons you should chose omNovia:

• Creating a system handling real-time communication with chat, voice, video… and reliable enough to host your business critical meetings is a tremendous challenge. In addition to very high level domain expertise, it requires a significant financial and time commitment to maintain and update your system over the years. With technology evolving on one hand and your business requirements changing on the other, your system would become obsolete unless web conferencing becomes your core business.
• Installing and hosting another product on site also requires expensive servers and a complex networking environment. For reliability purposes you would need redundant servers with double or triple network backup options. omNovia has heavily invested in fully redundant environments that you cannot easily reproduce on your own site.
• omNovia offers 100% dedicated servers. This option provides you the highest level of security and reliability as your servers are only used for your web conference rooms.
• omNovia also offers an option to host your own omNovia Communication Server. This hybrid solution provides you a scalable solution while keeping the costs down.
