Raindance Meeting Edition
Reputation that springs from use makes a purchaser feel more secure in having to lay out the hard-earned green. Raindance affords the users the ability to send images but not audio at the same time, it also allows up to five users on the image line for a stated price of $249.00 per month. The VOIP portion of this program hinges on use of other communication software, in one review; the suggested audio software was SKYPE.
The real time capacity of this program to allow users to exchange images in real time has many commendable aspects; the license for multiple users places this in the mid-range category of software that performs such functions. Raindance does offer a two-user setup that has no cost. Dec 10, 2003 "Louisville-based Raindance Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RNDC), a provider of integrated Web and audio conferencing services, today announced it has secured its first Voice-over-IP (VoIP) patent." [Denver Buisness Journal, Dec 10, 2003] Thus Raindance assured continuity to its cutting edge service.
The real story of teleconference is a burgeoning technology that is on the cusp of forcing a paradigm shift in an industry famous for integrated development. Raindance uses a familiar looking set of soft technology menus to drive the conference. The usual testimonials about Raindance contain terms like, easy to use, no other training required, easy to set up and install, rest assured the teleconference goes off without a hitch; these and other comments are present not only at Raindance's home page, but also in such places as the cutting edge Colorado Company Clear Technology.
The ease of use factor is important, Raindance has the earned reputation of simple menus, sharp graphics, and, while the audio must be in accompanied mode, and they recommend SKYPE, this drawback might be worth overlooking for the bonus of the standard package install, run and monitor with ease. Raindance does make it plain on their home page that they have pricing options and their sales people can be contacted for pricing options.
Raindance also offers a seminar system set of software; again, the pricing on this system can be obtained through direct contact with them. The comments on the seminar series are very much like the meeting edition. Seminar edition has some set up seminar tools that are also easy to use. The comments along the lines of setting up the seminar systems were that it looks very much like the meeting edition, the difference being the set up for services prior to the seminar. Monitoring equals pre-seminar inputs and the ability to modify your seminar content on the basis of the pre seminar inputs.
