More than a couple InfoComm 2014 attendees that serve corporate customers suggested that that I swing by ClearOne‘s booth and get a demo of its Spontania cloud-based solution for HD video conferencing and collaboration.

ClearOne announced its plan to acquire Spontania from Spain-based Dialcom Networks in January 2014. Acquiring the software-based cloud collaboration solution would make ClearOne “the only company offering an entirely software-based video conferencing product line that provides on-premises and cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions,” it stated at the time.
