BP9_2010013_Web2.0Tool3(Fuze Meeting)
While looking into ways to save money for my company I came across fuzemeeting.com and was excited about its possibilities. Fuze brings together the ease of a browser based platform with the tools to include almost any type of file source together in a collaboration setting that could be used for meetings, presentations, and trainings. My father and I are starting to brainstorm more entrepreneurial ideas associated with adult education and trainings and fuzemeeting.com might be a way for us to reach customers about our products more effectively.
Some of the benefits Fuze brings is that it does not require a download in order to run on someone's computer or phone. It can broadcast in HD and they have patented an almost perfectly synchronous presentation platform so there is no delay from what you say and present to what they hear and see. Another advantage is that you can set up a meeting in advance and load your PowerPoints, Excel spreadsheets, YouTube videos, and virtually any other type of media. However, if you need to change things on the fly or add something while you are presenting you can do that as well with a couple clicks on the dashboard. You can also share your screen with everyone else so that they can see what you see at the same time. The following video I found on their site will give you a better idea of how a company uses this tool.
Some of the drawbacks that I can potentially see is that it does cost around $280 a year but that does include unlimited meetings. Each meeting is limited to 25 participants and the site is a little unclear on just what they define as "fetch minutes" (each meeting you can fetch people in real time to bring them into the meeting but they do not specify if that includes the initial fetching before the meeting starts) and they don't tell you that you can cancel your free membership before they start charging you a fee. If I could use it for free for the 30 days like they claim and then cancel I would be very interested in using this product. Let me know if you or someone you know has used Fuze or another site like it and your comments would be appreciated.
