...Corporate Memo Student ENG/221 February 30, 2014 Instructor Corporate Memo Memorandum To: CIO Jeff Bridges CC: CIO Support Team From: Student Date: 6/30/2014 ------------------------------------------------- Re: Choices for Web Conferencing Software Choosing the Best Available Software There are many web conference choices available for almost any purpose. Our team would benefit greatly from most of them, but their value varies greatly by cost, usability, and resource usage. I have selected three different programs for your review. Software Selection Firstly, all of our onsite users are currently using the Microsoft Windows operating system. Some users located offsite use Macintosh OS X. This would have presented a problem in the past, but luckily almost every choice today allows for use in both cases. Software Number 1: Cisco WebEx This software is excellent. It allows for almost any application that could be desired in a business setting. The price is $19.99 a month for the annual plan, it allows for HD video conferencing, desktop sharing, mobile phone access, remote control, VOIP, and can be initiated by a single host computer. Software Number 2: Adobe Connect This software also allows for basically anything we could expand to use. It’s price is $45.00 a month per host. The service offers HD and SD video conferencing, desktop sharing, mobile phone access, remote control, VOIP, great document sharing support, and like all others listed here, a virtual shareable whiteboard...

Purpose The purpose of this proposal is to request your approval to evaluate the current video game tournament sign-up process and ultimately institute an entrance fee for all tournaments starting next semester. Summary When the TerpZone started running the video game tournament series, I personally did not know what to expect, as I was in charge of coming up with a schedule of games, implementing the schedule into the TerpZone calendar, coming up with various ideas to market the various tounrmanents, and actually hosting and running the tournaments. But as the results have shown, the TerpZone video game tournament series has been a huge success, and the attendance numbers have steadily increased as more students become aware of the possibilities that our tournaments offer. However, as this number has continued to increase and I have continued to implement different new strategies and additions to the tournaments, there still lies the problem of what measure of compensation the students...

...Dakotah McQuay Corporate Memos Eng/221 4/1/13 Christine Brazanskas Date: 4/1/13 To: Christine Brazanskas From: Dakotah McQuay Subject: Web Conferencing Software This memo is used to determine the best type of Web Conferencing software to be used. I did some research on various types of software, (InfiniteConferencing, Intercall, ClickMeeting) and have found that the best for our company is InfiniteConferencing. The pros on this software far outweigh the cons. The InfiniteConferencing software is a fair price of $35 a month, and with a company growing as quickly as we are, I believe that this is the best web conferencing program for us. This software allows up to 1000 participants, instant pulling, one click publishing with Microsoft Office, Full Desktop or Specific applications sharing, easy control passing, allows you to invite members on the fly, full Microsoft Outlook integration, and fully customizable session settings ("Http://www.onlinemeetingsource.com/web-Conferencing-Reviews/infinite-Conferencing-Review/", 2013). InterCall and ClickMeeting had many good credentials as well, but weren’t best suited for our company. InterCall could not be hosted on a Mac, which is used by many of our employees. The price per month was $42 dollars and didn’t allow as many participants. ClickMeeting only ran about $10, but was not as user friendly and required knowledge of the software. The functionality and security did not score as high as the other two types...

...Luis Cubilla ENG/221 Technical Writing Fundamentals Zachery Koppelmann January 28 2013 The organization of the memo from Hugh to Abram is partially organized. Hugh does not stray from his subject much and appears to stay on point with what he wants to address. The letter has an average format with a standard intro body and conclusion along with a signature which should be included in all e-mails. The clarity however leaves little to be desired for but at least Hugh admits that he does not understand his own employee or his friend. Hugh talks about how he was advised not to use certain enterprise software’s with by his friend and how he could not understand much of how the situation should be handled or how he should move forward with his business plans. The writing style is very unprofessional; it almost seems more like Hugh is writing to a friend rather than a co-worker or colleague. There are no real formalities Abram is only addressed by name once and the overall feel looks like something a brother would write to his family member. The memo seemed to be a little disrespectful in some ways. First Hugh is talking business matters with a friend rather than Abram, secondly it appears Hough’s friend is providing the basic of warnings that any programmer should look for but Hugh appears to be leaning towards his friend’s advice rather than Abram who as Hough states “respects his professional approach”. To add further insult to injury Abram has been asked to not...

...Web Conferencing Programs Research Memo Allen Settles ENG 221 November 24, 2013 Instructor: Tim Toole Memorandum TO: Management FROM: Allen Settles SUBJECT: Web Conferencing Software Research My assignment was to research Web Conferencing software in order to help our company become more user friendly to our remote users and clients. During my research I reviewed three different Web Conferencing Software programs I believe will meet our criteria. In addition to price points, there are four areas of features and functionality that I will use to evaluate when choosing a web conferencing solution: 1. Ease of use 2. Browser-based technology 3. Cloud computing 4. Mobile access. The three programs are Fuze Meeting, GoToMeeting and WebEx. Of these three Fuze Meeting was the best fit for our company. Fuze Meeting makes it easy for users to get up to speed with the product and participate fully in meetings from the very first time they access it, without having to download any software. Fuze Meeting’s advanced integrated audio functionality gives users multiple ways to connect – toll, toll-free, Skype, and VoIP – as well as supporting international access in over 20 countries. The Fetch feature gives users a simple way to track down meeting invitees, meaning you may never again have to start a meeting late because a key participant is missing. Fuze Meeting up to date browser technology allows it to be compatible with IE, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome and Opera. ...
