ATLANTA-( Business Wire )-

The meetings experts at PGi (NYSE: PGI) today announced a new partnership agreement with CenturyLink, the country’s third largest telecommunications company.

Under terms of the agreement, CenturyLink is offering PGi’s GlobalMeet online meeting solution, private-labeled as CenturyLink Web Conferencing, to its customers. CenturyLink also uses GlobalMeet internally for hosting meetings.

“CenturyLink’s agreement with PGi underscores our continuing commitment to integrate best-in-class technologies to provide high-quality, value-added services to our customers,” said Cindy Humphrey, vice president, marketing and product management at CenturyLink. “CenturyLink Web Conferencing is a great complement to the other telecommunications and network services we provide to our customers today.”
