Services
We help customers to improve their productivity through the implementation of a web conferencing software. In our practice, we use BigBlueButton software which is a free and open-source web conferencing software. With that help, our customers expand the composition and quality of the services provided, increase the reach of their audience, increase the level of security of online communications, and reduce the cost of licensing and operating existing paid software, such as Adobe Connect, Blackboard Collaborate, WebEx, Zoom.

Benefits
For Education
Provides an opportunity for teachers and students to carry out convenient online learning in video or audio conference mode.
Remote Collaboration
Provides remote collaboration in groups using video and audio, as well as joint viewing of any programs, including browsers, office software, etc.
Cost Reduction
BigBlueButton is distributed free of charge under an open-source license; there are no obligatory payments for licensing, subscriptions to services and support.
Ease to Use
To use BigBlueButton, you do not need to install any additional applications on your computer or on smartphones or tablets (unlike Teams, Skype, Zoom, WebEx).
Increased Security
Deployed on your servers in the office or in a private cloud, remaining only under your control. All online sessions and their records are encrypted and, if necessary, are stored only with you and only under your control (unlike Zoom, WebEx).
Flexibility and Integrability
BigBlueButton is an open-source web conferencing software, which allows developers to ensure the development of the platform without any restrictions, as well as integrate it with external systems.
Six reasons
Zoom: The FBI issued a warning to the public about the "hijacking" of online classrooms and teleconferences, The New York City Department of Education, which runs the largest school district in the country, said teachers should no longer use Zoom (washingtonpost.com).
Zoom: While Zoom claimed it used "end to end encryption" to protect calls, that claim was misleading (fortune.com).
Microsoft Teams: Sometimes Teams cause huge CPU and Memory spikes and one can see the software lag on people's PC's seeming for no reason (trustradius.com).
Blackboard Collaborate: It costs much more than our other web conferencing software (capterra.com).
Adobe Connect: Without multiple screens, you can't really see the room while you are screen sharing, making it harder to monitor chat, and, I think, not possible to see others' webcams (trustradius.com).
Cisco Webex: Proprietary formats for media sharing and meeting recordings; Initial download requires administrator privileges (computerworld.com).
