PHOENIX, AZ - AG Financial to Offer iLinc Web /Audio Conferencing to Customer Base of 265,000 Organizations. iLinc Communications, Inc. (Amex: ILC - News), developers of Web conferencing software and integrated audio conferencing solutions, today announced that the technology services division of AG Financial will resell iLinc Web and audio conferencing services as a key component of their products and services offering to the AG membership of more than 250,000 faith-based organizations worldwide.Dream3, the technology services division of AG Financial that will spearhead the initiative, is the preferred Web technology services provider for the Assembly of God, an organization representing 250,000 churches and 60 million members worldwide. Dream3 also works with the Church of God Ministries, which encompasses approximately 15,000 churches and a membership of 2 million worldwide. Dream3 will offer a co-branded Web and audio conferencing solution to the churches within these ministries to help them become more efficient with their internal finance committee meetings, outreach efforts, special events and board meetings.

"For the ministries we support, a large portion of their board members are volunteers with other careers," said Daren Tomey, president of Dream3. "Scheduling meetings to bring these busy people together is a big challenge for the ministries. Our partnership with iLinc will allow us to provide a means for these people to meet without having to be there in person, significantly increasing these churches' efficiency."

"We continue to actively seek partnerships that will facilitate distribution to emerging conferencing markets and we are excited about the exposure opportunity that Dream3 offers us to these ministries and their members," noted Mark Yeager, Vice President of Marketing for iLinc Communications. "We recognize that an increasing component of our growth will be based in indirect distribution of our products and we look to expand our awareness and reach in niche markets. We are excited to work with organizations like Dream3, whose products are synergistic with conferencing and have already established brand recognition in their space."

"We conducted a six-month study on every major Web conferencing provider and found iLinc to be the best solution partner on the market," noted Tomey. "Being an organization that provides technology services, we understand that competitive technologies, such as Web conferencing, can often function extremely similarly. It was our experience, however, that iLinc not only offered the best audio and web conferencing systems, but they also provided the most flexibility, as well as the most attractive commission percentages for partners. The fact that their audio and Web conferencing systems are integrated was also a consideration we took seriously."

The two organizations officially began the partnership earlier this year. Dream3 will launch the new services to the ministries later this month.
