By uniting previously incompatible audio, video and web technologies in virtual team rooms, the new initiative will augment Video Guidance's video conferencing offerings. Today's workforces are becoming more mobile and the number of communication options is growing. Yet most people are still required to conform to one communication technology and exclude key people from discussions - impacting effectiveness and the pace of innovation. Acano's virtual team rooms, called "coSpacesTM", make teamwork and the exchange of ideas second nature for even the most mobile and distributed groups. coSpaces simply aim to bring together various technologies into one 'room.'
