NETVILLAGE.COM ANNOUNCES WEB MEETING – ALLOWS BUSINESSES TO HOST MEETINGS AND PRESENTATIONS ON THEIR WEB SITE

Web Conferencing solution lowers the cost typically associated with business meetings and training

Baltimore, Maryland – netVillage.com, Inc., a leading provider of web-based collaboration services, today announced NetVillage WebMeeting, allowing a business to conduct live interactive presentations with customers, prospects, partners, suppliers and colleagues with only a web browser and a phone. With it, a company can make live interactive presentations or sales pitches, offer a web-tours, demo software, or provide tech support and training right from their web site.

"With companies reconsidering the amount of air travel they want to do," indicates Jason Van Horne, Director of Sales at netVillage.com, "Web Conferencing tools are an option that really makes sense". A day of on-site training is replaced with a web seminar. A field trip to a customer site to make a PowerPoint sales presentation can now be replaced with a simple click on the company web site. "By being able to make a full interactive sales pitch to the customer at first contact," continues Mr. Van Horne, "I can present a powerful case and speed the rate of close".

Unlike other Web Conferencing products, the netVillage offering does not require client-side software installation, lengthy downloads waits, or particular software present on the part of the attendees before initiating a web presentation. For example, the attendees don’t need to have Microsoft PowerPoint installed on their computer to view a PowerPoint slide show. Any software that can be run on the presenter’s computer can be displayed to the attendees.

Live audio and video (of the presenter) options also provide a degree of personalization found in traditional face-to-face meetings and often lost on display-only Web collaborations.

NetVillage WebMeeting is similar to competing products from Webex, and PlaceWare but at a fraction of the cost. This is largely due to the fact that the netVillage product is more a "Meat and Potatoes" offering and not overloaded with, largely unused, bells and whistles found in the other packages. NetVillage WebMeeting gets the job done quickly, effectively and simply.
