Alexander Hunte presented on LyteSpark, a video conferencing platform. LyteSpark allows for instant video calls, group calls with up to 6 participants, and embedded sharing of videos and presentations. It provides a permanent company space for collaboration. Compared to competitors like Skype, Hangouts, and WebEx, LyteSpark offers more features like simultaneous rooms, guest access, and customized branding. Pricing starts at free for small businesses and scales up for larger enterprises needing additional features and support. Hunte believes LyteSpark can reduce business travel costs by making virtual communication and collaboration easy.

• Old technology
• Unreliable
“A
nightmare
to use”
“Webex is old and the
download client is
unreliable. We use
Hangouts instead but there’s
no security or service“
“I couldn’t get the Citrix
download or plug in to work
on my PC and missed the
meeting”

nightmare if the people I want

Seamlessly connect people
Founded a year ago
We have won or been finalist in quite a few competitions
We are pre-revenue
But that should make the opportunity all the more attractive
DOCUMENTS
1) Current Google Docs solution (we manage it)
2) Add your Google Docs account (we have no visibility)
3) Integrate a specialist secure doc solution (Intralinks VIA, Secure Document Exchange, Sunguard Data Exchange)
If you find a more intuitive, easier to install system then please use it
We’ve linked up the desktop (quick chat with your neighbor) with the meeting room (official meeting)
Our pricing reflects a desire for usage = if you use it. It will save you money and the costs become insignificant. E.g. one employee flying to one meeting.
You can find something cheaper. You can find something more expensive BUT all that matters is
If you use it. If you do, if this aids your mission to cut travel costs it would contribute to significant and sustained savings for your business
