Adobe today announced significant updates to Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro.

The new version of Acrobat Connect Pro includes a number of really cool new features including Universal Voice, Webcast, Secure Desktop Sharing, and PDF Integration.

Universal Voice enables Connect Pro customers to integrate their meetings with any audio conferencing provider.  Telephone audio can be recorded with a web meeting and broadcast over VOIP to enable participants to listen to the audio without dialing in.

Connect Pro Webcast will allow for very large events with up to 80,000 participants attending high-impact sessions that can incorporate rich media, video, slides, and interactive Q&A.

Secure Desktop Sharing introduces more granular control over the Compliance and Control settings in Connect Pro.  New administrative tools enable organizations to create a white list of applications that can be screen-shared.

In addition to the features listed above, Adobe has also added PDF integration, a new add-in for Lotus Notes and VMWare support.

For more information, there is a tutorial on the new features available on connectusers.com. You can also view the press release from Adobe.

webqem & Adobe teamed up to host a 90 minute seminar on shortening sales cycles and lowering selling costs via Adobe Connect Pro. Larry was the primary speaker at this free seminar and took sales and marketing people through the many ways that Connect Pro can benefit an organisation. Some of these benefits were: dramatically reducing sales and marketing costs, how to qualifying prospects quicker, and speeding up the sales process through frequent meetings.

Like the other seminar held by webqem that week, this one was successful and webqem is likely to be holding more seminars like this one in Hong Kong. Keep eye out on this blog for upcoming seminars.

The seminar was very successful and webqem is likely to run similar seminars next year, so be sure to keep an eye out.

It not just the iPhone that will be benefit from this: Google Android, Palm WebOS, Microsoft Windows Mobile, Nokia’s Symbian OS, and RIM with their Blackberry OS, will also be able to run a connect meeting from their phones.
