New Online-Meeting Solution net-conference launches

net-conference wants to make Web Conferences and Online Presentations
as easy as e-mail

Burghausen, March, 3rd, 2005

Starting immediately, Utomi GmbH is offering net-conference as a new Online-Meeting Solution for Video- and Audio Conferences via the Internet, which enables multiple users to simultaneously edit documents together and share the same software application - all collaboratively.

net-conference is positioned in the market of Online-Meeting or Web Conference-Solutions as a very user friendly system. It can be setup and operated immediately, without extensive installations or training, directly at the desk of the participants using their internet browsers.

Instead of cost- and time intensive business trips, users in different locations can immediately conduct online meetings, exchange ideas, collaborate on projects and give or share presentations using net-conference. Directly from your desk, independent from the geographic distance between the participants.

The cost burden for companies caused by business travel to meetings is extremely high.

According to a study of the German business paper "Die Wirtschaftswoche" (Geschäftsreise Klima 2002) the expenses for business travel of the TOP 500 companies in Germany average to about 20 Million EUR per year. More than 80% of the cost are caused by transportation, lodging and daily expenses. The average cost of a domestic business trip within Germany is 400 EUR for an international trip it is around 1300 EUR.

Thomas Krempl, founder and CEO of Utomi GmbH: „net-conference enables companies, to conduct a multitude of meetings, that usually would have implied travel, online. Therefore saving a large portion of your travel budget. Because net-conference is also very easy to use, there is no need for costly training courses. All in all, net-conference can already break even if it saves as little as 1% of the current business trips by conducting meetings online.“

With the increasing cost pressure in companies, the market for Online-Meeting Systems is experiencing a tremendous growth rate. According to Gartner Group the growth rates for the next 2 years will continue to be higher than 30%.

Besides of transmitting audio & video, net-conference enables all participants to collaboratively view any document, make changes or share other software applications.

For example, if, during an online meeting, there are changes made to an MS-Office file, it is possible that all participants can see the changes made immediately on their own screens -in real-time. Furthermore, net-conference offers a "virtual Whiteboard“ that can be used by all participants, like a real one, with text and drawings. net-conference is also suitable for presentations -it supports PowerPoint - and training courses with several hundred participants.
