How many times has an important meeting been postponed or cancelled because of the varying availability and remote locations of its participants or the difficulty of sharing complex presentations and documents? Many of you might instantly point out online conferencing programs like GoToMeeting, which is an excellent solution that, as its users will acknowledge, doesn't come cheap. If you’re looking for a non-invasive, easy-to-setup computer-to-computer communication tool that offers pretty much the same features for free, go to Yugma instead.

With a number of my Los Angeles website designers, SEO strategists, and clients based in remote locations with differing time zones and schedules, I fully understand that it can be a challenge to get everyone on a single project on the same page. Oftentimes, explaining the enhancements made to a homepage or the changes to a link-building plan requires in-depth explanation that goes beyond sending a mockup or emailing a ranking report.

Yugma (named for a Sanskrit phrase meaning "the state of being in unified collaboration"), allows up to ten users to have online meetings, conferences, and webinars and use interactive features to share and discuss files and presentations. It's a great way to share your work with clients without requiring them to grant you access to their computers and vice versa. Nonetheless, it offers reliable security standards like AD and LDAP.

Free chat capabilities eliminate the need to establish voice connection, and other features like an incremental updater, the InstallAnywhere installer, bundled JVM, and network connectivity updates make for smooth and uninterrupted communication. Also, unlike similar apps, Yugma doesn't require license purchases. Just go to the main site, set up a user ID and password, and get the conversation going.

Thanks for reading. Jason.
