Archive WebEx Meetings in Standard Players Webcast Service Solves Large On-line Meeting Problems

St. Paul, Minnesota - May 6, 2003 - Netbriefings, a full-service webcast technology provider that specializes in secure and large-audience Internet broadcasts, announced deployment of its new Webcast services, which were developed to address the major problems that companies have with most larger, on-line meetings and seminars. Among the problems that the new Premier Meeting Management Service solves are live support for meeting participants and fast archiving (in Real Player and Windows Media Player) of meetings from various collaborative-meeting products.

Gary Anderson, CEO of Netbriefings, said, "Most of the companies that contact us are having limited success using Webcasts. They need ease of use across the board, from planning, to knowing who has registered, all the way through archival viewing with standard media players. Our Premier Meeting Management Service addresses all their problems, while lowering the cost and increasing the effectiveness of their meetings and seminars. We even enable use of the most popular collaborative-meeting product, and enhance it with streaming, archiving and support."

The Netbriefings Premier service package solves the seven problems most cited by companies that use collaborative and Webcast meetings. Key features include:
* Live (human) telephone support during on-line meetings
* Fast turn-around archiving of meetings in Real Player or Windows Media Player, regardless of the collaborative or Webcast product used
* Streaming audio in lieu of (or in addition to) teleconferencing to reduce cost
* Automated generation of invitations and reminders for participants
* Information about registrants in on-line database
* Participant statistics, including attendance and time on line
* On-line access to registrant and participant statistics, anytime

The Premier Meeting Management Service is a set of technology and support services developed around Netbriefings' own Event Management System, a large-meeting and formal-meeting Webcast product, now in use for several years. Companies that do not have a collaborative product can use Netbriefings' e-Conference, which provides all the standard features, such as desktop and application sharing, whiteboarding and Web tours, but with streaming audio and teleconferencing.

Several of the Premier Meeting Management Service features are demonstrated in a sample Webcast archive.
