iLinc is one of the very few Web conferencing companies that allows customers to purchase and own iLinc Web conferencing software with a one-time licensing fee for unlimited Web conferencing. iLinc's award-winning software can either be installed inside of a customer's network, or hosted at iLinc's co-location facility for a small hosting fee, providing ASP benefits in a traditional software ownership model. iLinc offers this licensing structure to support organizations that use Web conferencing on a consistent and company-wide basis to help them better manage the rising costs of recurring fees. Customers who purchase iLinc receive ongoing technical support and software upgrades through an annual maintenance and support agreement.

As reported by industry analyst Frost and Sullivan in their June 2005 World Web Conferencing Markets report, as Web conferencing usage within any organization grows, purchasable software solutions become attractive because they offer important benefits such as: higher ROI, better control, security, better integration with existing applications, and unlimited usage. "As the Web conferencing technology starts maturing, it will kickstart a higher growth in software deployments," noted industry analyst Roopam Jain, senior analyst -- conferencing and collaboration for Frost and Sullivan. " ... many larger organizations will realize that it does not make sense to pay monthly fees to an outside provider to rent Web conferencing seats across multiple departments. The smarter budgetary bet would be for these bigger businesses to host the software in their own organizations."

"We are seeing continued growth in our pipeline of large and medium-sized organizations that are looking to migrate from their ASP rental Web conferencing software solution to our purchase model," noted James M. Powers, Jr., president and chief executive officer of iLinc Communications. "Many of our customers who choose to purchase iLinc Web conferencing also choose to have iLinc host their software in our co-location facility. The result is that these organizations enjoy the savings of a one-time purchase fee for unlimited Web conferencing without involving their IT resources or budget."
