ACT Teleconferencing Inc. has introduced two new service offerings. High Definition (HD) Video bridging services enable customers to conduct premium quality virtual meetings using three times the video resolution of a standard definition video conference. Also announced on July 15, 2008, ACT's Conservation Calculator quantifies the amount of time, money and carbon emissions saved by using ACT's services to conduct meetings virtually. Both services are now available. ACT's HD Video bridging services remove barriers of virtual communication and dramatically enhance the quality of video conferencing. By leveraging the power of high definition resolution, ACT's HD Video offers the closest equivalent to face-to-face communication that is available at present. The new services enable companies to achieve the highly effective nature of in-person communication without spending the time, costs and carbon emissions required to conduct a face-to-face meeting. To round out this new offering, ACT can now service any client with HD Video, regardless of the size or location of the company. This level of flexibility enables ACT to service a broader array of customers around the world and stimulates new growth opportunities for the company. To quantify the estimated resources required for an in-person meeting, ACT has developed the Conservation Calculator, a free, interactive calculator that quantifies the amount of time, money and resources saved by using ACT's conferencing services versus conducting in-person meetings. By entering the type of conferencing service used (audio, video or web), the location where the meeting will be hosted and the number of participants, the Conservation Calculator instantly tabulates the numerous benefits achieved by using ACT's services.
