Saba Centra Meeting

Saba Centra Meeting helps people get together across the building or around the globe — live, in real time — to share knowledge and information. As a result, you’re able to have highly productive, secure online meetings, product demos, and partner briefings all from the privacy of your office.

Saba Centra Meeting replicates the dynamic interaction of on-site meetings, using a rich set of online tools and capabilities. Features include integrated audio and video conferencing, application sharing with mark-up, PowerPoint slides with animation, real-time feedback, whiteboards, instant surveys, file transfer, and text chat.

Saba Centra allows customers to use any teleconference provider. This is valuable because other online meeting providers require customers to use one specific teleconference solution in order to record a meeting with integrated audio. With Saba Centra, customers can shop for the teleconference provider that offers the best cost savings and still have the audio integrated for recordings.

With just a web browser, users can initiate a meeting by simply clicking on the Saba Centra icon on their desktop, IM modules, or directly from today’s most popular applications, including Microsoft Office. Personal time zone settings ensure attendees always see event details in their local time.
