ioko Connect – Live is the online meeting, conferencing and real-time collaboration component of ioko Connect, our suite of collaboration technologies.
ioko Connect – Live provides you with a meeting space where you can review and edit documents, run presentations, scribble together on a white board or notepad, research online materials and share applications.
ioko Connect – Live is powered by Microsoft Live Meeting 2007 and provides you with an intuitive and flexible online meeting solution that allows you to work together with colleagues, customers, partners and anyone else involved in your care delivery activities. The visual and interactive nature of the online meeting area means you can work more effectively than you could with just phone conference and more responsively than physical meetings would allow.
ioko Connect – Live makes it easy to access this capability, without installation of any hardware or server software, and with a flexible range of price options.

Features of ioko Connect – Live
ioko Connect – Live provides a meeting space where 2 or more (typically up to 15 users or 50+ participants) can share documents, applications and presentations; work interactively on a whiteboard or notepad and collectively edit documents; engage in personal chat in parallel with an audio conversation. Effectively anything that can be displayed on your computer can be shared in the meeting room.
You can have multiple meetings running in parallel.
Meetings can be created from within the meeting space web based management console or they can be initiated directly from Outlook, Word, PowerPoint etc. There is also a portal plug-in for integration with SharePoint portals.
As long as one user of a meeting room is licensed then up to 14 other attendees can participate, without needing licenses of their own.
There is a rich desktop client which can be freely downloaded and installed, or a java version can be used to provide a rapid user experience with no local computer installation required..
Audio conferencing can be integrated with ioko Connect – Live, BT, InterCall, and MCI audio customers can control audio conference calls directly, providing the ability to dial out to participants, mute/unmute participant phone lines, eject participants, and lock the meeting. As an alternative, Internet Audio Broadcast streams audio over the Internet allowing participants to listen on their PC.
By default meeting rooms use the generic ioko Connect – Live NHS brand, however we offer a premium service that allows meeting rooms to be branded with your organisation’s logo and provides you with full account control, self service reporting and other features.
Cost
By using a collective meeting room, users of ioko Connect – Live avoid the annual costs associated with a dedicated, branded meeting area and benefit from econmies of scale on individual user licenses. As a result ioko Connect – Live user accounts can cost as little as half the market rate. See our ROI calculator.
"In terms of usability was great once I set up the full view mode allowing making my demo as if I was with the client. I did not realize I was making a remote slideshow until I discovered that if I pointed something with my finger in the screen, the user obviously could not see it . That’s the reason I think the experience from my point of view was great !!!. "
