Blue Jeans Network Extends Reach of Any(ware) Video Conferencing with New Unlimited Use and Individual PlansUnlimited use plans provide “all you can eat” options for interconnecting Skype, Google, Cisco, Polycom, Lifesize and other users into a single video meeting at audio price points. Individual plans available immediately for purchase online..

Blue Jeans Network, the leader in interoperable video conferencing services, today announced the availability of several new pricing plans. Designed to extend the reach of video conferencing beyond the corporate boardroom, these new plans offer businesses and individuals an easy, interoperable and high quality video experience at audio conferencing price points.

The new plans announced today address the needs of customers wanting the determinism of a fixed price for unlimited minutes, as well as customers wanting lower cost individual plans supporting just a single virtual meeting room.

The new Blue Jeans individual plans include:

  • $69 per month individual plan for 500 minutes (less than 14 cents per minute),
  • $99 per month individual plan for 1,000 minutes (less than 10 cents per minute), and
  • $199 per month individual plan for unlimited minutes (as little as 1 cent per minute)

As a comparison, traditional HD video conferencing services typically cost around $1 per minute, while audio conferencing rates tend to be less than ten cents per minute. Blue Jeans is able to offer customers interoperable video conferencing services at audio conferencing prices, a first for the industry.

These new individual plans provide Blue Jeans customers a single virtual meeting room in the Blue Jeans cloud that can be used to schedule and host multi-party video conferences that bridge together both consumer video chat solutions (such as Skype and Google Talk) and traditional enterprise video conferencing solutions (such as Cisco/Tandberg, Polycom, and Lifesize). Only the meeting host needs a Blue Jeans account. Meeting participants are not required to subscribe to join a Blue Jeans meeting.

Additionally, these individual plans are self-service, meaning that customers can purchase plans online and begin hosting meetings within minutes. All three new individual plans are available immediately for purchase online at www.bluejeans.com/how-to-buy.

Blue Jeans also offers per minute and unlimited use plans for enterprises, groups and businesses. Customers desiring enterprise, group or businesses plans can contact a Blue Jeans sales consultant (sales@bluejeans.com or 800-403-9256) or an authorized Blue Jeans reseller.

By making video conferencing as easy, open and affordable as audio conferencing, Blue Jeans Network is finally making it practical for users to convert many of their daily meetings from audio to video.
