IP-BASED DESKTOP VIDEO AND DATA COLLABORATION SOLUTION
PC and Mac users can now enjoy a cross-platform collaboration
and conferencing solution as Wave3 adds PictureTalk’s data collaboration offerings
to their mix.
Pleasanton, Calif. – May 25, 2004– Pixion, Inc., the
creators of PictureTalk, a leading cross-platform Web conferencing solution, and
Wave Three Software, a leading developer of IP communication software, today
announced a partnership designed to bring an expanded selection of conferencing
and collaboration tools to Mac and PC users worldwide.
"With this partnership, Pixion and Wave Three will be the first
in the market to offer a true cross-platform video and data conferencing solution,"
said David Budd, Vice President, Sales & Business Development, Pixion. "It will
provide tremendous opportunity for clients that wish to communicate across both
PC and Mac platforms.
"For example," continued Budd, "Government agencies
that have a large Mac base will find this helpful in their program collaboration
with other government agencies, universities, and the agencies of foreign
governments. Aerodynamic tests, flight simulation data, and computer modeling
can all be shared – in real time – across the web, from desktop to desktop."
The partnership is changing the ways people interact and work
together. "Our customers in the education market use this solution to
provide virtual office hours, international guest speakers, and more,"
says Jim Schwartz, Senior Vice President of Product Development at Wave Three
Software. "Legal clients can use it for remote depositions and reviewing
pertinent documents. In the medical market, customers are using the solution for
diagnostic collaboration and speech therapy."
The partnership is designed to provide collaboration and
conferencing tools that deliver a new set of functionality not previously
available. "Now, both PC- and Mac-based clients can enjoy the best
application sharing solution and the best audio/video communications application
for both point to point and multipoint conferences," says Schwartz. "Our
partnership expands the richness of communications. We are making it easier for
people to communicate and collaborate in ways that meet their requirements at
any given time."
