--
BeaconLive and Cinchcast, providers of services and technology for webinars, webcasts, and virtual events, today announced that the companies are merging. The combined company will operate under BeaconLive executive leadership and will provide the market with one source for all online event needs ranging from fully managed, moderator assisted productions, to on-demand, do-it-yourself events.
“Our goal is to offer customers a mix of service and technology that lets each organization create an experience that meets their unique needs,” says John E. Duplin, Jr., President and CEO of BeaconLive. “By bringing the Cinchcast technology and their team onboard, we’ll be able to offer clients a single platform that offers both the white-glove service that BeaconLive is famous for and a highly extensible, self-driven web application that is ideal for both enterprises looking for more direct control over their event management and for other SaaS companies that are looking to incorporate a sophisticated webcasting tool directly into their own native application and services.
Both companies have achieved reputations for providing outstanding customer service in an industry that is known for cutting corners to maximize profits. By streamlining and simplifying the event and content creation process, the combined organization will help executives, marketing and communications professionals, meeting and event planners, HR leaders, content creators, and online training specialists enhance their internal and external communications.
“We are really excited to see Cinchcast join forces with BeaconLive. This merger significantly strengthens our feature set, enabling us to offer a broad range of capabilities to our enterprise customers and partners,” says Cinchcast CEO, Alan Levy. “Both organizations are staffed by exceptional technology and service professionals. Together, we will be able to innovate even faster and provide the best event management experience available anywhere.”
“We were delighted to hear that BeaconLive and Cinchcast are coming together,” says Joel Poznansky, President of Columbia Books and Information Services. “Our needs vary depending on the event. Now we’ll have one trusted vendor who can provide us with exactly the level of service and technology capabilities we need. BeaconLive has always delivered exemplary service which allows us to focus on the content of the event, not the mechanics.”
