"Interwise is transforming enterprise conferencing from an expensive point application into a utility that will be as common on people's desktops as e-mail is today," said Interwise CEO Frank Zvi. "Thanks to our fixed-price/unlimited usage model, you will never pay overage penalties or exorbitant per-minute charges for Web conferencing . When you combine this business model with our highly-scalable, enterprise-class conferencing technology, companies can now afford to put an integrated web conferencing solution on every desktop." Zvi is participating on tomorrow's CTC panel, "Conferencing Applications: Are They Becoming Commodities?"

Web conferencing from ECP Connect Version 6.0 includes "My Meeting Room," a secure, personal conference room for voice-only and integrated voice/video/web conferencing without the need to pre-schedule the events. Other new features are designed to simplify the conferencing and collaboration experience:

-- Improved conference entry and management controls.

-- New Microsoft Outlook Add-in: Downloadable software makes it easier to schedule iMeetings and recurring events.

-- Dynamic HTML for PowerPoint Presentations: PowerPoint documents are now converted to dynamic HTML, providing better display and auto-sizing to fit the whiteboard.

-- Noise Cancellation: Audio quality has been further improved to reduce background noise.

-- ECP Notes Connector: This software add-on allows people to use their familiar Notes Calendaring & Scheduling environment to create and manage invitations to integrated web, video, and voice conferencing and collaborative events powered by Interwise ECP Connect software.

-- Support for Citrix MetaFrame XP Presentation Server 3.0: This allows organizations to deliver fully functional web and voice conferences with thin-client desktops or mixed Windows, Linux and Macintosh desktops using the computers for visuals and the phones for audio.
