Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 10, 2011

Each week, the employees at HealthQuest Chiropractic join together for their weekly meeting. Recently, with the help of MegaMeeting.com’s web-based video conferencing solutions these meetings have taken on a whole new look.

Prior to implementing MegaMeeting.com, meetings at HealthQuest Chiropractic were conducted over a teleconference line. Now, by using the web-based video conferencing services provided to them by MegaMeeting.com, departments throughout HealthQuest (such as sales, training, administration, human resources, executives and accounting) can all meet together face-to-face as if they were sitting in the same room. According to Andrea Raymond, Corporate Attorney for HealthQuest, “We have several offices spread out over two states and MegaMeeting.com allows every office and all the off-site employees to meet face-to-face.”

Using the many built-in features of MegaMeeting.com, including being able to display up to sixteen live video feeds, showing PowerPoint presentations to meeting attendees and communicating with each other through integrated teleconferencing, has provided the staff at HealthQuest with the tools needed to not only conduct their weekly staff meetings, but also to conduct employee training and seminars. HealthQuest recently even used the video conferencing service to hold a doctor training seminar that lasted several days. Andrea Raymond went on to say that “MegaMeeting.com saves time and is convenient and affordable for all aspects of business.”
