I just read this article in the Conferencing News today – it’s posted here.  I took the liberty to title the post a little differently than the title of the article (call me biased).  As we move into 2010, it’s good to remind ourselves why Clear Skies got into this business.  We, as a company, believe in partnering with you as a company, a group, an author, a product spokesperson, a trainer, a teacher, even a political activist, to facilitate the use of web-conferencing technology as a tool which is a more efficient and, maybe sometimes, even more effective voice in communicating your message than in-person or on paper.  It is certainly more cost-effective than an in-person conference.I also want to highlight that although “software-as-a-service” or “SAS” seems to be one of the buzz words around new technology platforms –> software will never replace service.  And, in our opinion, should never be an “add-on” to software.  We are the only company (that we know of) that offers Online Event Management as a core service.  We think it’s about communication, rather than what platform you use to do communicate. Therefore, it’s communication that can yield big business results.  The content is your focus, let us handle the “through webinars” part, that’s our focus.  A partnership for success in 2010.  Happy New Year.
