FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PIXION NOW DELIVERS ADVANCED WEB CONFERENCING SOLUTION FOR MAC OSX SERVER

PictureTalk Helps triCerat Inc. Increase Outbound Sales
Demonstrations by 25 Percent

PLEASANTON, Calif. – Nov. 3, 2003 – Pixion, Inc., the leader in cross-platform Web conferencing solutions, today announced the availability of PictureTalk Enterprise Conference Server (ECS) for Mac OS X Server. PictureTalk ECS for Mac OS X Server is a powerful and secure Web conferencing solution offered for Apple's easy-to-use server platform.

Since PictureTalk ECS for Mac OS X Server offers high availability and dependable performance, triCerat, Inc., developer of simple and cost-effective Terminal Services network management tools, has selected the cross-platform solution for online communications and interaction with potential and existing clients.

Prior to installing PictureTalk, triCerat used a hosted solution from another large Web conferencing provider. But due to restrictions surrounding the ability to track company usage, as well as excessive overage fees, triCerat sought a new Web conferencing provider. Installed on triCerat’s Mac OS X server and behind its network firewall, PictureTalk provides the company increased visibility around usage, improved performance and a consistent cost basis. PictureTalk has enabled triCerat to collaborate in real-time for customer sales presentations, as well as interact on daily business operations with existing clientele and internal staff.

“What attracted us to PictureTalk was its Mac OS X server support, the ability to own the application and manage it ourselves,” said Alan Auman, senior network engineer, triCerat. “Being strong Apple supporters, we noticed that Mac products and Pixion PictureTalk offer many similar features. PictureTalk is extremely easy to use, powerful, dependable, and since its installment the solution has broadened our communication sales outreach by 25 percent.”

Like Apple’s easy-to-use server platform, PictureTalk’s intuitive, user-friendly interface enables triCerat employees to communicate in real-time and conduct sales meetings instantly and without lengthy integration or training. With Pixion’s unique Capture Frame® technology, triCerat employees are notified if conference participants have received the shared information on individual desktops. This enables presenters to adjust the presentation speed to compensate for the recipient’s system and bandwidth differences.

“With PictureTalk, triCerat will be able to tailor the product for their business communication needs, as well as have the flexibility to communicate virtually with anyone, anywhere, at any time,” said Robert Boese, vice president of operations and general manager, Pixion. “Using PictureTalk, triCerat will increase productivity, save money and open up a wide array of communications opportunities."

Designed to run on any server platform, including, Windows®, Solaris™, and now Mac OS X Server, PictureTalk ECS eliminates network bottlenecks and enables meeting presenters and participants to capture information in real-time from their desktop, and easily share and collaborate over the Internet with an unlimited number of attendees.
