GoToMeeting + Google Groups Integrations

GoToMeeting is a web conferencing service that allows users to conduct video conferences with up to 50 people.Google Groups is a free service that provides discussion groups for people who share an interest, allowing each member of the group to send messages to all of the other members via e-mail.When these two services are combined, it is possible for a user to host a meeting in which one or more participants join in via GoToMeeting, while others join in via Google Groups.This service has numerous benefits for both the user and the organization hosting meetings. For the user, it allows for a full multimedia experience. The meeting organizer can contrp what is included in the meeting, as well as scheduling and management of the meeting.The organization hosting the meeting enjoys a reduction in overhead costs and is able to include participants from around the world at no additional cost.Organization staff members also benefit from this integration. It is possible to use the same software used by many employees on an everyday basis for meetings. This integration eliminates the need to learn multiple systems, making meetings run more smoothly.Additionally, it is possible to set up accounts for each employee, saving time during the setup process and ensuring that each employee has access only to their own account.I. DiscussionGoToMeeting and Google Groups can be integrated so that users can participate in a GoToMeeting meeting using either Google Groups or GoToMeeting, depending on their availability and preference.The user would simply log into GoToMeeting as he normally would, then choose “Add Google Group” from the list of options when adding a participant to the meeting. The user could then specify which group he would like to use, along with any other information he wishes to share with participants. Once he has added the participants, they will be able to join in on the meeting using the Google Groups option, or by dialing in using the GoToMeeting number provided by the host.This integration has numerous benefits for both users and organizations. For users, it allows them to choose a method best suited to their needs when joining meetings, whether it be Google Groups or GoToMeeting.A user may have chosen to use Google Groups because his company offers free accounts for all employees, or because it is simpler than GoToMeeting, or because he already has an account and doesn’t have to pay for another service.An administrator will benefit from this integration because Google Groups can be implemented at no cost to the organization whatsoever, whereas GoToMeeting can be quite expensive. Additionally, employees will already be familiar with how Google Groups works, so there will be no learning curve when they need to use it for meetings.Organizations also benefit from this integration because they are able to include remote workers at no extra cost. To do this previously would have required purchasing several licenses of GoToMeeting for remote workers, increasing overhead costs significantly. Now, remote workers can attend meetings using only their existing accounts with Google Groups.
