Boland T. Jones, founder, chairman and CEO of PGi (NYSE: PGI), a global leader in virtual meetings for 20 years, will present the Best Cloud Service Award tomorrow night at the 2011 Crunchies Awards ceremony. But instead of honoring the nominees from the ceremony stage of Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, Jones will commend the group virtually via PGi's cloud-based video conferencing solution, iMeet - a first in Crunchies' history.

"With today's workforce becoming increasingly mobile, cloud tools are must-haves to keep us connected and productive. This year's nominees for Best Cloud Service all answer the remote worker's call for services that allow them to work anytime, anywhere and from any device," said Jones. "It seemed only appropriate to announce the winner of this award using PGi's cloud-based video conferencing solution, iMeet, and we couldn't be more pleased to partner with the Crunchies to do so."

iMeet is PGi's next generation, cloud-based video conferencing solution that enables up to 15 people to meet face-to-face online - anytime, anywhere, from any device. iMeet expands on the basic video conference, giving users their own personal online meeting room that integrates with their favorite social media and file sharing applications. The iMeet experience is simple and secure - without the hassle of software downloads, hardware investments or IT support. Since launching in January 2011, the iMeet community has grown to over 65,000 people who engage in better video meetings every day.

The 5th annual Crunchies Awards ceremony, co-hosted by GigaOM, VentureBeat and TechCrunch, will recognize and celebrate the most compelling startups, internet and technology innovations of the year. Winners in each of the 20 categories were selected by the general public, with more than 300,000 nominations submitted online in a little over a month. The Best Cloud Service Award category is new to the Crunchies this year, and the nominees in this category are Asana, Box, CloudFlare, Dropbox, Okta and Twilio.
