According to a report from industry analyst Frost and Sullivan titled, "World Web Conferencing Markets" in April 2004, the global Web conferencing market will grow about 30% CAGR between 2002 and 2010. About 90% of the revenues during this timeframe will be generated from two distinct markets: the Web conferencing service provider market and the Web conferencing software provider market. The difference between the two is that the service providers offer Web conferencing as an ASP service while Web conferencing software providers offer solutions that can be purchased and owned by customers (whether they are installed internally or purchased by customers and hosted by the provider). The web conferencing software market is the fastest growing segment, with about 40% CAGR between 2002 and 2010, as compared with the service provider market which is growing about 22% CAGR for the same time period. According to the report, the software provider market is projected to outgrow the service provider market by 2010 to represent more than half of the entire market.

"We have found that the market is migrating toward favoring ownership of Web conferencing software over the yearly or monthly renting of these capabilities," said James Powers, president and chief executive officer of iLinc Communications, Inc. "Any organization that pays recurring fees for the use of conferencing capabilities can demonstrate a tremendous return on investment by purchasing software such as ours. We also offer a unique ability to purchase our software and have it hosted in our co-location facility. Many organizations take advantage of this option to enjoy the ROI benefits of a software purchase without the impact that an installed solution may have on their IT staff."

"iLinc is an outstanding product that we use everyday for sales, support, training, and marketing," said Michael Sheehan, director of marketing & sales for Paulhus and Associates. "The combination of the savings we have seen from a one-time purchase fee and the value associated with their ability to host our software has made us feel extremely positive about selecting iLinc."

"Organizations that have adopted Web and audio conferencing as a best practice to save time and money greatly appreciate the difference that iLinc offers," further commented Dr. Powers. "We are continuing to attract new customers and create new business in existing accounts by offering a combination of Web conferencing software that can be purchased for a one-time fee by customers, integrated Web and audio conferencing capabilities and service offerings such as adoption and implementation services that ensure our customers are successful."
