Products

IEEE Web Conferencing recognizes the following product classifications:

  1. Preferred Products
    Preferred Products are enterprise grade, rated as leading industry solutions, and meet IWC criteria for functionality, security and cost. IEEE Web Conferencing (IWC) support is available as necessary.


  2. Endorsed Products
    are considered acceptable by IWC for conducting online meetings, and in most cases, negotiated rates apply. However IWC does not certify performance, and administration and support is only available directly through the provider. Prospective users are fully responsible for product evaluation, acquisition, administration, and payment. Endorsed products can be beneficial to IEEE Regions, Sections, Chapters with severe budget limitations and other unique needs, who prefer to operate autonomously.
