Portland, Oregon -- January 30, 2002 -- Obidicut™ LLC today announced the availability of Obidicut QuickShow™, an affordable, branded Web conferencing service for showing presentation slides live over the Web. Users of Obidicut QuickShow can share their presentation slides through a Web browser at any time to up to five participants at once, with options to expand the number of attendees as needed. In addition to presenting standard PowerPoint slides, Obidicut QuickShow also provides on-demand access to other Web content, including collateral, slides, animations and interactive forms. The basic Obidicut QuickShow product retails for $99 per month.
"I've been looking for something like QuickShow for years," says Karl Steiner, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at efficient market services, Inc. "Now I can quickly make a presentation to anyone, anywhere, without traveling, and without a lot of expense or learning curve."
"Obidicut QuickShow is the easy, inexpensive way to get started with Web conferencing," stated David Smith, co-founder of Obidicut. "All you need is your phone and a browser – there are no downloads or plug-ins. Once your slides are loaded, you're ready to present to anyone anywhere on the Web, 24 hours a day. You can move from a phone call to a Web conference in seconds. Sales efforts become more effective when you can show prospects key PowerPoint slides on the spot. At the end of the call, prospects can download literature, price sheets, contracts, and even interactive forms to complete the order. And at this price, every salesperson can have her own account."
Obidicut QuickShow can accommodate 30 slides, and an unlimited number of presentations to up to 3 people at once, for just $99 per month. Obidicut QuickShow Plus holds 5 sets up to 30 slides each, with unlimited presentations to up to 5 people at once, for only $149 per month. Product options are available to add additional slide decks or increase the number of attendees. Both products have a $199 set-up fee that covers custom branding, loading of the first set of presentation slides, and the creation of links to other Web-accessible content specified by the customer, such as Web pages, PDF files, animations and Web forms. Users can then upload new slides on an as needed basis using a Web-based control panel. Obidicut provides ongoing product support and sells all products and services on a month-to-month basis. Additional services for presentation creation, modifying branding and custom links are available.
Obidicut QuickShow works with PCs and MACs, and with all common Internet browsers including AOL. It can be deployed on your Web site using a simple URL that doesn't change every time you have a new meeting. When on the road, presenters can access and run meetings remotely using a wireless PDA. In addition, multiple presenters can run a single Web meeting at one time.
"We've seen the bigger players raise prices considerably in recent months," stated Will Anderson, co-founder of Obidicut. "Obidicut QuickShow offers an affordable starting point for Web conferencing customers looking for ease of use and a simpler feature set. For a very small investment, companies can put the productivity of Web conferencing to work quickly, inexpensively and without the need of a training budget."
