Reservationless web and audio conferencing solution gains momentum as Intranets.com customers log nearly one million minutes of usage in first few months

Woburn, MA (July 27, 2004) - Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly saving time and money while collaborating in real time with satellite offices, customers and partners thanks to the partnership between Intranets.com and Netspoke. In the months since the companies integrated Netspoke Conferencing into Intranets.com's on-demand collaboration suite, hundreds of Intranets.com customers have taken advantage of the Netspoke Conferencing option to log nearly one million minutes of audio and web conferences.

Intranets.com, the world's leading provider of on-demand collaboration services, announced in March that it is offering Netspoke's real-time web and audio conferencing to its 7,500 customers worldwide. The Intranets.com integrated on-demand collaboration suite helps businesses communicate more effectively by allowing workers to share documents and applications, manage schedules, assign tasks, and conduct integrated conferences, among many other collaboration activities.

Netspoke and Intranets.com are hitting the market at the right time with an easy-to-use, affordable suite of real-time collaboration tools, according to the April 2004 "World Web Conferencing Markets" report issued by industry analyst firm Frost & Sullivan. Integrated conferencing solutions are giving way to collaboration suites that provide users with a single source for many real-time communication options, the report states.

Alpha Software is an Intranets.com customer using Netspoke Conferencing to enhance its sales communications with customers. "Intranets.com's web and audio conferencing solution is easy to use and offers all of the functionality we need at a fraction of the price compared to WebEx," said Alpha Software Sales Manager Brett Johnston. "At the click of a button, we are able to offer live demonstrations of our product to any customer prospect or group of customers located anywhere in the world. The solution has become an invaluable part of our sales success."

Intranets.com customers need only one mouse click to launch powerful and intuitive web and audio conferences for such events as sales meetings, customer demonstrations and training, customer update conferences and employee distance learning. A tab within the Intranets.com suite instantly connects users with Netspoke Conferencing features.

"Rapid adoption of Netspoke Conferencing by our customers demonstrates that we've addressed a critical need," said Rick Faulk, CEO of Intranets.com. "We're seeing both the number of customers and usage per customer increase at healthy rates. Together with Netspoke, we're giving our customers the real-time collaboration tools they depend on to grow and become more competitive in their markets."

The Intranets.com suite featuring audio and web conferencing from Netspoke solves the cost and complexity problems of other solutions. An intuitive, mouse-click-driven interface allows users to navigate easily through a menu of conferencing tools that best suit their needs - all in an affordable package.

"These initial results are a harbinger of continued momentum," said Netspoke President and CEO Scott D'Entremont. "Intranets.com and Netspoke are changing the conferencing market paradigm by delivering a full suite of integrated real-time collaboration tools at a price that medium and small businesses can afford."
