Microsoft^® Office Live Meeting 2007

Live Meeting is a flexible web conferencing service that can help you eliminate the hassle and costs associated with travelling to face-to-face meetings.

Combine the power of BT Audio Conferencing and Live Meeting within your own virtual meeting room, giving you the ability to share your desktop with your participants, share presentations and discuss, edit and view any type of document at the same time.

Use Live Meeting to

• Meet with your colleagues, customers and suppliers from wherever they are located to collaborate together. You can share, edit and present any form of document from your PC.
• Reduce travel costs and your organizations carbon footprint by using Live Meeting to replace face-face meetings.
• Launch new products to customers and suppliers more quickly, and record meetings for those who were not able to attend.
• Company announcements are often urgent and involve senior management. Use web conferencing to ensure all staff receive the information quickly, simply and directly from the senior management involved.

Key features
