Arkadin Unveils ArkadinOneRate Pricing Model

Arkadin SA, a New York-based remote collaboration solution provider, has reportedly introduced a new pricing model, called “ArkadinOneRate,” which helps in reducing the cost of using both Web and audio conferencing, at separate rates.
 
The ArkadinOneRate pricing model offers clients a single per minute rate for any combination of Arkadin’s proprietary audio conferencing solution, ArkadinAnytime, and its Web conferencing software-as-a-service solution, ArkadinAnywhere.
 
Officials at Arkadin said that ArkadinAnywhere is a lightweight Web Conferencing application, which lets users easily share their desktop, individual applications as well as provide a shared working space for online meeting collaboration. It requires no downloads, due to the fact that it is a software-as-a-service solution.
 
Moreover, ArkadinAnywhere Web Conferencing solution provides users with on-line document sharing in a secure environment, thereby increasing productivity and cost-savings for businesses across the globe.
 
ArkadinAnywhere is combined with Arkadin’s ArkadinAnytime, which is a phone conferencing service that is available anytime and from anywhere in the world, said officials.
 
With the help of ArkadinAnytime phone conferencing service, there is no need for reservations and users can manage, conduct, and create conferences on-the-fly with easy to use Outlook or Lotus Notes toolbars, or can even use company’s Web portal to plan next audio conference.
 
Furthermore, Arkadin said that its ArkadinAnywhere offers reliable remote communication throughout the organization for users who are participating using their computer or phone device.
 
“In today’s business environment, we see a growing demand for lower cost, less complex pricing models that drive virtual meeting adoption throughout organizations,” Scott McMaster, North America vice president of sales, said in a statement.
 
ArkadinOneRate enhances productivity by providing one easy-to-use platform with the flexibility of using audio conferencing, web conferencing or a combination of both at one simple rate.”
 
 “We see many of our clients transitioning from the traditional face-to-face format for activities such as training, investor communication, product launches and project communication into a virtual meeting format,” McMaster said. “ArkadinOneRate helps our clients deliver these virtual meetings by implementing a simple, low-cost pricing model that enhances and promotes remote communication within their organizations.”
 
Furthermore, ArkadinOneRate plan also simplifies the use of collaboration solutions. This is due to the fact that Arkadin pricing and billing options are tailored to clients’ global collaboration needs and are managed by local teams in 34 offices across the globe.
 
Officials with Arkadin said that the company is committed to the continued development of pricing models that support the market demand - for simple, user friendly, low cost solutions. This helps individuals to seamlessly communicate whenever, wherever, and however they want.
