"Videoconferencing is no longer just a boardroom technology," said Michael Werch, president and CEO of Video Guidance. "VG Connect Desktop Service provides real time, face-to-face communication and increases productivity without leaving your chair."

VG Connect offers two desktop services -- Desktop Advanced and Desktop Deluxe -- that introduce different applications that address the needs of the individual as well as the organization. "What is particularly noteworthy is that each service requires no upfront budgeted expenditures, no sophisticated hardware and no personnel to support the solution," Werch says.

Desktop Advanced VG Connect Desktop Advanced is designed for the worker in a home office or the well-traveled business "road warrior" who spends a lot of time in airports and hotel rooms. Desktop Advanced allows users to stay visually connected to colleagues, customers or suppliers. With only an existing PC and USB camera, users can connect easily and quickly from public spaces or remote offices. Desktop Advanced connects to other standards-based videoconference systems.

Desktop Deluxe VG Connect Desktop Deluxe Service is designed for businesses that want to expand personal videoconferencing usage to all levels of an organization at the desktop. While lowering the cost per user, the Desktop Deluxe is a highly scalable solution for mass deployment because everyone in the organization will immediately see the benefits of increased productivity and daily collaboration.

Video Guidance has enjoyed strong video conferencing sales resulting from a weak economy that forced businesses to reduce out-of-control travel expenses without jeopardizing critical communications. The company, which is on track to reach its annual goal of double digit growth of 21 percent, this month reported second quarter revenues of over $3.4 million, the company's largest quarter since its inception in 1999.
