PLEASANTON, Calif. – May 28, 2003 – Pixion, Inc., the leader in cross–platform Web conferencing solutions, today announced two new additions to its Business Partner Program. Kerridge Media Services, a leading provider of multi–location audio–visual services and media management solutions, and VoiceText Communications, a full–service communication solutions provider for small and large businesses, have been selected to further expand the global distribution of PictureTalk as the demand for Web conferencing continues to increase. Both companies will offer PictureTalk as part of their conferencing solutions product portfolios.
"We are extremely pleased to have Kerridge Media Services and VoiceText Communications on board as new members of our growing Business Partner Program," said Manny Yap, Pixion's channel and partner sales manager. "Both companies bring with them a wide range of expertise in the conferencing space and are experienced in building and maintaining effective distribution programs."
Pixion's solution enables partner resellers to deliver their customers, whether a small business or global corporation, a cost–effective, scalable, Web conferencing solution that best fits their online meeting demands and budget parameters. Available as a high–performance Web–hosted service, PictureTalk Hosted Services, and an installed enterprise software application, PictureTalk Enterprise Conference Server (ECS), reseller partners have the flexibility to bring the solution in–house to manage pay–per–use hosted customers, or offer clients a server–based product that is integrated with their corporate enterprise communications system behind the firewall.
"We are very pleased to join Pixion's reseller program as a U.K.–based partner," said Adrian Conington, Kerridge Media Services' business manager. "PictureTalk's unique feature set and strong product position as a deployed or ASP–delivered application is a key addition to Kerridge Media Services' corporate conferencing portfolio. Our strategic position is strengthened and provides a solid platform for Kerridge Media Services to penetrate further into U.K. and European markets."
Designed to run natively 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.
"The inherent security, performance and cross–platform functionality of Pixion's Web conferencing solution is very complimentary to our portfolio of business communication solutions," said Eileen Williams, VoiceText Communications' president.
