LOUISVILLE, Colo., Sept. 11, 2000 -- Evoke Communications today announced the availability of Evoke Collaboration 4.2. This real-time, online presentation service integrates the collaborative technologies that Evoke acquired from Contigo Software and offers scalability and enhanced presentation features including live application sharing.

Evoke Collaboration 4.2 will enable businesses to conduct large-scale Web-based seminars and presentations.

Evoke Collaboration functions across multiple platforms and enables businesses to present live, full-functioning software demonstration via the Web through live application sharing to multiple participants. Evoke Collaboration 4.2's scalability and incorporated features allows hosting of hundreds of simultaneous participants in a single online meeting.

Customers canlead a tour of their company's new Web site, or execute live participant polls and get immediate results, for example, using a customized, branded interface reflecting their corporate identity.

Features include:

  • Live application sharing -- enables users to present full-functioning software demonstrations live over the Internet
  • Faster downloads -- using the company's proprietary Java media player, participants can quickly view presentations without the need to install software or use a high-bandwidth connection
  • Improved conversion technologies -- allows businesses to quickly and easily convert presentations into HTML from a variety of formats, such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Corel Presentations, or Lotus Freelance
  • JavaScript Support -- deploys a technology that can overcome the demands of JavaScript to allow users to conduct "follow me" Web tours to JavaScript-enabled Internet or Intranet sites
  • Improved chat features -- allow users to control the privacy of communication between moderators, co-moderators and participants during an event
  • Masquerading -- launches an event even when moderators have forgotten their passwords
  • Online context-sensitive customer help -- HTML-based help that is built into the application
  • Customizable emails -- confirm and remind participants of scheduled events with personalized information.
  • Improved reporting -- allows the ability to extract polling and chat information and generate reports on recorded events

Evoke Collaboration 4.2's standard service features include online whiteboarding, Web touring, real-time polling, live application viewing, interactive text chat and recording of live presentations. The collaboration server platform runs on Microsoft Windows NT/2000, Unix, and Linux operating systems and moderators and participants can attend events using any java-enabled browser on any major platform.
