Global Crossing Integrates Microsoft Office Live Meeting

Global Crossing is integrating Microsoft Office Live Meeting into its collaboration services portfolio. Live Meeting is a Web conferencing service that enables conference participants to broadcast visuals, applications, Web pages, files, or software in real-time.



Global Crossing said Microsoft's Live Meeting complements its existing set of collaboration tools, which include audio, video and Web conferencing solutions. The carrier has already integrated the scheduling capabilities of Microsoft Outlook directly with its Ready-Access Web Meeting -- an integrated audio and Web conferencing service. Plans are also underway for integrating Global Crossing's Ready-Access audio conferencing service with Microsoft Office Live Meeting.



For more than three years, Global Crossing has been a key network provider of global telecom services to Microsoft, including serving as the primary backbone in Europe over Global Crossing's fiber network. http://www.globalcrossing.com
