All Conferencing Announces Launch of Phone Reminder Service

Free Add-on Service Increases Productivity, Profits.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 11, 2009 -- Missed meetings lead to lost revenue and unnecessary frustration. When productivity drives profits, finding a way to reduce time wasted is essential. All Conferencing is helping businesses everywhere improve meeting attendance with the launch of Phone Reminders (patent pending), a free add-on service for both new and existing customers. Thousands of companies, including over 400 law firms, have already had Phone Reminders added to their service package.    

When a Phone Reminder is set, each attendee receives a phone or SMS alert before the scheduled meeting time. An easy-to-use interface guides the host through setting up the meeting time and adding the contact information for each person, up to 96 participants. Messages can be sent at a variety of time periods prior to the conference start, using a standard or personalized greeting.

We did extensive research into the most common issues people were having with conferences, and found that late arrivals by participants or missed attendance altogether were most often cited.
“We introduced All Conferencing’s phone reminders as part of our continued commitment to providing unmatched value for our new and existing customers,” said Purbasha Gupta, Director of Technology for All Conferencing. “We did extensive research into the most common issues people were having with conferences, and found that late arrivals by participants or missed attendance altogether were most often cited. The Phone Reminder service all but eliminates those problems for our conference participants easily and effectively, and without any extra cost!”

Logik Launches eDiscovery Apparel Website eDDstuff.com

Fun apparel & merchandise with a serious charitable attitude; perfect for everyone.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 11, 2009 -- Just in time for the upcoming holidays, Logik, a Washington, DC -based eDiscovery company, is proud to announce the launch of the world's first and only eDiscovery apparel and merchandise website at www.eddstuff.com. Visitors of all ages will discover fun, hip designs professionally printed on a variety of apparel and merchandise, including comfy t-shirts, warm hoodies, large coffee mugs and even downloadable versions of the fun eDiscovery images for both computer and iPhone wallpapers.

eDDstuff.com
eDDstuff.com
“When we told our friends, family and clients that we were launching an eDiscovery clothing and merchandise website,” laughs Andy Wilson, Co-Founder and CEO of Logik, “the one question we heard over and over was… ‘Why? Who does that?’ When we first came up with the idea, it just made sense to us. Logik is energetic and passionate about what we do. We wanted a different way of showing that.”

So, why would an eDiscovery company launch a website featuring whimsical designs on clothing? There’s a simple answer to that: it’s just one more example of how Logik thinks differently than other companies.

“Like us, people who work on eDiscovery projects are passionate about their industry, whether they work for the government, a law firm or a corporation,” says Sheng Yang, Logik Co-Founder and CTO. “The eDDstuff website allows us to enjoy our shared passion. Maybe it’s more like we get to show we’re all part of the same club.”

In reality, eDDstuff.com is about more than eDiscovery stuff – it’s also about giving back. Ten percent of every purchase made on eDDstuff.com goes directly to Martha's Table, a non-profit organization located in Washington, DC (the remainder of the purchase price goes to Zazzle.com who actually makes the products). Martha's Table's mission is to help at-risk children, youth, families and individuals in the Washington, DC community improve their lives by providing educational programs, food, clothing and enrichment opportunities.

"You don't have to be an 'eDiscovery nerd,' as one of the designs happily proclaims, to enjoy all the great things on eDDstuff. Buy a shirt for your mom, a hoodie for your honey and download the 'eDiscovery Ninja' for your iPhone. Wear your eDiscovery smarts with pride," says Andy.

Get a Shirt. Give a Bite. Visit eDDstuff.com and pick up a mug or a hoodie to keep warm this winter, and give a little back.

About Logik:
Logik is an eDiscovery processing company located in Washington, DC. Number 181 on the 2009 Inc. 500, Logik helps corporations, law firms, government agencies and service providers simplify electronic data sought in discovery requests. Logik's innovative and highly distributed processing platform, Gridlogik, was developed to process all kinds of unstructured and structured data sets such as email databases, spreadsheets, images and MS Office documents. Combined with their transparent pricing model, Logik offers customers the smart way to discover accurate results and make sense of processing costs. Find out more at logik.com. Media interested in setting up an interview with a representative from Logik should email press(at)logik.com or call 800-951-5507.
