| ImageWare Selects Pixion’s PictureTalk Web Conferencing Solution
PictureTalk Enables ImageWare’s
Global Sales Force to Collaborate in Real-time
PLEASANTON, CA – June 3, 2002 – Pixion, Inc., the leader in Client-Server-Client™ (CSC) Web conferencing solutions, today announced that ImageWare Systems, Inc. (AMEX: IW), a security technology company specializing in digital imaging and software systems for public safety and smart ID, has selected Pixion’s PictureTalk™ Web
conferencing solution for its global sales force.
PictureTalk is the only native
cross-platform Web conferencing solution,
offering superior ROI, flexibility and scalability compared with existing
peer-to-peer and
traditional client-server Web conferencing
technologies. ImageWare Systems uses PictureTalk as a primary online
communications solution
for internal business conferencing, sales
force training, product training and customer support. PictureTalk
enables ImageWare’s
dispersed sales force team to conduct product
and sales training sessions in real-time regardless of location, helping
boost productivity
while simultaneously reducing the need for employee
travel.
“PictureTalk has become an integral part of our internal communications for our sales teams, enabling us to reduce sales-related travel costs significantly in just three months,” said Mike Doyle, director of product management, ImageWare Systems. “Moreover, we tried several other Web conferencing solutions, but we consistently ran into performance issues. In the end, we worried that customers would attribute these issues to our product, and that’s
a risk we were unwilling to take.”
Based on Pixion’s
CSC architecture, PictureTalk delivers secure
Web conferencing without the bandwidth constraints of the peer-to-peer
networking technology
employed by most other Web conferencing service
providers.
Designed to run on any client platform,
including Windows®, Macintosh® and Solaris™, PictureTalk
offers unparalleled ease-of-use and control,
allowing meeting presenters to capture information in real-time right
from their desktop, and
easily share and collaborate over the Internet
with an unlimited number of attendees.
PictureTalk is designed for a wide range of business applications, including software sales, customer support, product demonstrations, professional training and distance education.
