TalkGroups including Push-to-Talk (PTT) and Open-Mike (Hoot-n-Holler) allow people that need to collaborate together, to do it faster and more effectively. iCollabra TalkGroups is a powerful communication medium that provides presence, group instant text messaging and voice sharing with anyone in the organization at a fraction of the time (and a fraction of the cost).
Administrators and users can setup entire departments, group of co-workers or friends and by pushing a button, everyone in the 'TalkGroup' can simultaneously and immediately hear the voice. These TalkGroups can be used in a number of different ways:
- Collaboration between ad-hoc workgroups and project teams that can span the entire organization.
- Departmental briefings and company meetings can be audio and/or video cast for people to participate from their desktop.
- Broadcast of Audio/Video training materials for access across the organization.
- Piping video feeds to the security teams or workgroups.
- Intercom and paging to individuals and groups
- Distributed paging across multiple buildings regardless of their geographic location
