Partnership Provides Automated Web Conferencing and Administration Facilities to Streamline Business Processes and Accelerate Web Conferencing Adoption for Joint Customers.

ViewCentral, Inc., a leading provider of Collaboration Management Solutions, and Interwise, a leader in true enterprise conferencing, today announced a product integration designed to simplify the production of Web-based events for large enterprise customers.

According to the agreement, ViewCentral version 4.6, the company's flagship solution for managing Web-based events, has been integrated for use with Interwise's ECP Connect, a Web conferencing product that integrates the worlds of Web conferencing, voice conferencing, eLearning and Web seminars in a single, integrated, all-IP platform.

The combination of ViewCentral v4.6 and Interwise ECP Connect will enable joint customers to more quickly and easily produce large, Web-based marketing and training events. ViewCentral v4.6, which automates a number of pre- and post-event activities and is known to help companies increase attendance at Web-based events, can now be used as an entry point for companies leveraging Interwise ECP Connect as their Web conferencing solution.

From within the ViewCentral solution, companies can now schedule events and reserve conferencing seats in the Interwise ECP Connect system, providing a one-stop shop for all of a company's Web conferencing management needs.

The product integration is expected to attract the attention of large enterprise customers that produce hundreds or thousands of Web-based marketing and training events, such as new-product Webinars, every year. These companies are seeking a solution that uncomplicates the event management process and, at the same time, helps to drive higher registration and attendance for Web-based events.

"Customers come to Interwise because of the strength of our technology, our innovative capability to deliver the benefits of VoIP using regular telephones, and our unique unlimited conferencing/fixed price business model," said Frank Zvi, president and CEO of Interwise. "With the new ViewCentral/Interwise partnership, our customers will now also be able to leverage one of the strongest collaboration management partnerships available on the market."

"Interwise is an important new partner for us, as its award-winning ECP Connect is popular among larger companies that could benefit from our products," said Rick Ludlow, president and CEO of ViewCentral. "As Interwise clients accelerate plans to utilize ECP Connect in their marketing and training programs, they require automated solutions to help manage and drive attendance to these events.

With this integration, ViewCentral meets this need for Interwise customers." Also, the companies plan to collaborate on a variety of sales and marketing activities including a joint webinar series. The series will highlight marketing- and training-focused applications that demonstrate the value of the companies' combined offering.
