TakeAIM Releases Webex and Live Meeting Comparison Report

(PRWEB) October 30, 2003

CAPISTRANO BEACH, CA—TakeAIM, a provider of online sales and marketing technology solutions, today released a report comparing its newly launched TakeAIM-PRESENT product with well-known online meeting services from Webex and Microsoft Office™ Live Meeting.

TakeAIM-PRESENT is a full-function system that provides every user with a Personal Online Presentation Center. The company’s comparison report maintains that the Personal Online presentation Center concept is wholly complementary to the large online meeting services, and that PRESENT does not directly compete with either offering.

The system is immediately available at http://www.personalpresentations.com.

Responding to inquiries on competitive positioning, TakeAIM CEO Doug Wolfgram commented that the two major online meeting services provide facilities for presentations among their many collaboration applications, but do not focus on the needs of the individual presenter. “Comparing PRESENT to Webex or Live Meeting is like comparing a PDA to a PC,” he explained. “Just as a PDA performs highly-focused vital tasks for the individual user, TakeAIM-PRESENT enables highly focused personal presentations.”

Wolfgram stated that, “PRESENT is perfect for professionals who make spontaneous calls that can be turned into presentations. The Personal Online Presentation allows them to place a phone call and invite a client or prospect to a Web site, without scheduling a full-scale online meeting or paying rates by the minute and by number of seats.”

The TakeAIM-PRESENT comparison report calculates bottom line pricing of the two major online meeting providers, and compares them to TakeAIM’s simple structure of $19.95 to $39.95 per month. According to Wolfgram, “Our much lower rates allow any individual to create a Personal Online Presentation Center at our Web site, with only a personal credit card. Users can present slides online within minutes, and can take advantage of an array of features designed specifically for the individual.”

The TakeAIM report, Comparing TakeAIM-PRESENT to Webex and Microsoft Office Live Meeting™, is immediately available as a downloadable PDF attachment to this news release, or at http://www.personalpresentations.com/press/compare.pdf.
