Through user surveys, analysis of system logs, and interviews of key corporate customers, PresenterNet found that the population of users and audience members not using Windows or Internet Explorer represents a critical success factor. The company has published this data in a report entitled, “Survey of Web Conferencing User Requirements and Preferences,” available at http://www.presenternet.com .

PresenterNet CEO Doug Wolfgram explained stating, “The data tells us that virtually all presenters need a system that supports both Macintosh and Windows platforms. It is also very clear that support of Microsoft Internet Explorer is not enough. Firefox support is now mandatory for our Web Conferencing.”

The published report also shows that significant number of potential users cannot accept downloaded plug-ins to accommodate multiple platforms or multiple platforms when using Web Conferencing.

Wolfgram added, “Presenting online or using Web Conferencing requires nearly perfect seamlessness between platforms and browsers. Our customers typically present to new audience members every day. Though the vast majority may use Windows and Internet Explorer, it is not acceptable to lose the remaining people, particularly Macintosh and Firefox users.” According to Wolfgram, PresenterNet's strategy is to support all three of the major platforms, and nearly all of the commonly used browsers.
