Accordent celebrated its seventh year of exhibiting at Streaming Media East with a bang by introducing its latest product for the enterprise: Accordent Engage™. Accordent Engage is an enhanced audio webcasting solution that enables large organizations to run and manage their own internal service bureaus, putting the power of webcast creation and delivery in the hands of enterprise users.

Unlike traditional third-party webconferencing and audio conference call services, Accordent Engage offers significant cost savings to heavy users of audioconferencing and webconferencing services by enabling authorized users to create rich media webcasts using existing corporate IP network bandwidth. Commenting on Accordent Engage, Interactive Media Strategies research director Steve Vonder Haar said: "The future of online video in the enterprise sector lies in making multimedia communications available to a broad swath of workers. Products like Accordent Engage make it possible for even mid-level managers to capitalize on the power of multimedia communications while allowing IT managers to keep tabs on how their networks are being used."

Accordent Engage also received an enthusiastic reception at the Second Annual Accordent NYC Users Group, held on May 15th at the New York Hilton and Towers and attended by representatives from Lehman Brothers, Merck, JPMorgan Chase, Air Products, Fidelity, GlaxoSmithKline and NYU Law.
