eXpresso™ Inks Agreement With M5 Networks; VoIP Business Phone Leader Standardizes on eXpresso for Online Collaboration

eXpresso Corporation, a pioneering provider of online community solutions for business, is announcing that M5 Networks has adopted eXpresso as its primary collaboration tool.

Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) May 19, 2009 -- eXpresso Corporation, a pioneering provider of online community solutions for business, is announcing that M5 Networks has adopted eXpresso as its primary collaboration tool.

M5 Networks is the market leader in business phone systems using VoIP technology with an especially strong presence in the New York City area. Like most businesses, M5 has standardized on Microsoft® Office and they have daily interaction with branch offices, remote workers, and vendors. eXpresso will enable real-time collaboration among and between these dispersed groups.

The eXpresso application is built on a SaaS framework that brings instant file control and distribution across Web-based computing platforms. eXpresso business communities (focused on Microsoft Office applications) use a patented invitation process and are governed by a system of rights and privileges. Changes to a file in eXpresso are documented in real-time and generate an audit trail detailing changes down to the cell level.

The M5 Network phone system has an extensive portfolio of capabilities, but one in particular is especially harmonized with eXpresso: On-Demand Conferencing. That feature enables users to instantly host or attend conference calls on the fly, anytime, from anywhere. In combination with eXpresso, it enables live collaborative meetings where a real work-product is generated. Conventional "Web meetings" don't allow participants to contribute to documents.

Dan Hoffman, M5 CEO, believes there is a consistency of purpose between the two companies and becoming an eXpresso subscriber was a natural move. "M5 is built on innovative technology that answers real business needs. eXpresso certainly fits that model and I believe we will see benefits beginning on day one," says Hoffman.

George Langan, eXpresso CEO, said, "M5 is a perfect example of the kind of business that can benefit from eXpresso: dynamic and fast-paced, with dispersed staff and customers. eXpresso is a great tool to help accelerate their already rapid growth path."
