Sametime Meetings 11.5 is the Business!

There’s been so much chatter on Sametime Premium Meetings 11.5 since the full release last month and with good reason.

I’ll keep this as simple as I can, as the user experience is just that, simple. It’s everything a user would expect from a Premium, Enterprise video meeting service. It’s clean, intuitive and modern and it works.

And it’s on premise.  The licensing model will save you a small fortune compared to the cost of competitors.  And again.  It’s on premise. It’s secure.

“But I already use Teams or Zoom” I hear you say. Ok. If you’re happy having your meetings exposed. If you’re happy having your credentials exposed.

If you’re happy with all of that and you like spending more on both platforms. Then work away.
