Adobe announces updates to Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro Web

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced significant updates to its Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro Web conferencing solution.

This update will reportedly enable organisations to provide rich communication and collaboration experiences for their employees, partners and customers.

The company said that now organisations can improve their customer interactions through more collaborative meetings, training sessions and Web seminars that increase real-time participation and bring people together when and where needed.

The new version of Acrobat Connect Pro will integrate with any audio conferencing provider, allowing organisations to leverage existing investments. Also, telephone audio can be recorded along with a Web conference and streamed to VoIP-only meeting participants. Advanced integrated audio teleconferencing capabilities include call controls, participant management and synchronized recording.

In addition, a new integration with InterCall, a conferencing and collaboration services provider, will offer customers the ability to deploy Acrobat Connect Pro with InterCall audio conferencing.

The company said that the new features in Acrobat Connect Pro will give birth to new ideas in collaboration, on-demand learning and virtual meetings once people engage with the functionality.

Further enhancements to security and compliance functionality in Acrobat Connect Pro includes more secure desktop sharing that offers increased control and enables regulation compliance. New administrative tools allow customers to define which applications can be screen-shared; users can collaborate with ease without the risk of an inadvertent breach.

With this release, Adobe will offer a new implementation model. In addition to current hosted and on-premise deployment options, Acrobat Connect Pro will be available as a managed service, offering customers the ability to outsource IT support while realising the benefits of security and control.

Acrobat Connect Pro is available immediately on a hosted, on-premise or managed-service basis. Language support includes English, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Turkish, and Russian and simplified Chinese.
