WebEx Introduces MeetMeNow: A Simple, One-Click Web Meeting Service

On-Demand Collaboration Leader Brings the Power of Web Meetings to the Individual Professional

SANTA CLARA, Calif., October 11, 2005—WebEx Communications (Nasdaq: WEBX), the leading provider of on-demand collaboration applications, today launched MeetMeNow, an easy, affordable web meeting service designed specifically for the individual professional. Priced at $49 per month, MeetMeNow takes only minutes to set up, requires no training and instantly integrates with several desktop applications and popular instant message (IM) clients. MeetMeNow puts the award-winning power of WebEx technology into the hands of the individual user for the first time.

"WebEx has historically focused on providing collaboration applications to large enterprises and has established itself as the market leader in this space," said Roopam Jain, strategic analyst for conferencing and collaboration at Frost and Sullivan. "The company is now bringing its proven technologies and successful track record to the individual user market. This audience represents a tremendous opportunity, and WebEx is very well positioned to address the needs of this growing market."

As part of its commitment to the individual professional market, WebEx is also introducing PCNow. Previously offered in a “preview” version called MyWebExPC, this remote access product is now commercially available for an introductory price of $9.95 per month. The standard price is $14.95 per month. PCNow is perfect for mobile professionals, commuters, and teleworkers who need secure real-time access to remote computers.

MeetMeNow allows users to conduct unlimited instant meetings with up to 10 attendees. With MeetMeNow, the user can:

  • Share the entire desktop in real-time, complete with rich annotation
  • Launch meetings directly from the Windows system tray, Outlook, Yahoo!, MSN Messenger, or AIM
  • Access all of the features necessary to host effective online meetings from an always-available meeting control panel
  • Invite attendees to join a conference call
  • Pass control of documents or applications to any attendee in real-time

PCNow allows users to securely access a computer from any remote location using a simple web browser. With PCNow, the user has full access to a remote PC – or multiple PC’s – from anywhere in the world:

  • View and access email, files, folders—even a computer's network resources
  • Transfer files to and from a remote computer
  • Print a document to either a local or remote computer

“Today’s workforce is more geographically dispersed, more mobile and needs to stay connected from wherever they are,” said Rick Faulk, president of the WebExOne division, the newly-formed small business operating unit. “These innovative products allow professionals to meet and keep in touch as if they were in the office, without a heavy financial or technology investment. We are absolutely committed to helping individual users be more productive and efficient and plan to introduce exciting new applications designed for this market.”
