New Collaborative Meeting Service Costs as Little as 25% of WebEx, Offers More

St. Paul, Minnesota - June 17, 2003 - Netbriefings, a full-service webcast technology provider that specializes in secure and large-audience Internet broadcasts, announced a greatly enhanced version of its collaborative-meeting service, eConference Center. The majority of enhancements resulted from integration of the collaborative product with the company's large-meeting Event Management System. The new version of eConference Center provides streaming audio with simultaneous teleconferencing, fast-turnaround archives in Windows Media Player, and several new features, in addition to all the features of other collaborative products and services. The result is a service with greater functionality and ease of use than WebEx and PlaceWare, and more economical, especially for unlimited-use monthly licensing, where costs can be a fourth of other services, and even lower for volume users.

Gary Anderson, CEO of Netbriefings, said, "Companies are telling us that the cost of using WebEx and PlaceWare is high, given the features and support provided. To elevate our services well above the others, we integrated our collaborative and large-event products, to provide all the collaborative features of the others, but with the added functions and support users really need. We tailored eConference Center to deliver much greater value than others, but with more functionality at economical prices."

In addition to standard collaborative features, eConference Center provides:
* Economy - as low as 25% the cost of others
* Streaming audio with simultaneous teleconferencing
* No lengthy download of a proprietary viewer
* Fast-turnaround archive in Windows Media Player
* User-branded Web site for archives
* Participant statistics, including attendance and time on line
* Real-time, on-line access to registrant and participant statistics, anytime

For a limited time, Netbriefings is offering a 30-day free trial of eConference Center. Interested companies may click here to request a free trial.
