Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 22, 2005 -- When over 30,000 New York City Transit workers went on strike this morning, the 7 million people who use the transit system on a daily basis found themselves without their usual means of transportation. While a myriad of companies will experience a severe impact in business, those that conduct meetings can work without interruption.

According to Erik Boos, Vice President of Marketing for BeamYourScreen (www.BeamYourScreen.com), developers of innovative technology-based communication tools, "Companies that rely on meetings to conduct business can work as usual despite the New York City Transit strike. On-site meetings can be replaced by online meetings, with employees able to work from home or any location that has Internet access."

With BeamYourScreen's proprietary desktop sharing technology, today's scheduled meetings can still start on time. After downloading and installing the BeamYourScreen sender software, the host user can initiate meetings with up to 20 participants, who connect for free using their Internet browsers. As guests connect, they can see the host user's computer desktop. The host can then conduct presentations in real time, utilizing the resources on his or her own computer. With BeamYourScreen's intuitive interface, workgroup members can continue to collaborate on projects and sales representatives can conduct live product demonstrations or presentations to prospective customers.

"We're pleased to be able to offer companies that are based in New York City - and those doing business with New York-based companies - the opportunity to circumvent the Transit Workers Union strike," says Erik Boos.

BeamYourScreen offers two types of software licenses, each with flat rate pricing. Prices range from $19 per month for a single host/single guest license to $99 per month for multiple hosts/20 guests license. As there is no per-minute or per-session fee, companies can host as many online meetings as they'd like at no additional cost.
