Breaking News: NetDIVE WeMeeting IM System is Now Open Source.

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2002

WeMeeting, the most advanced and yet most affordable software system for enabling Internet based instant messaging, conferencing and collaboration is now delivered to businesses as both executable and source code when they purchase the Enterprise version.

This ensures the greatest long-term value for an organization since they can now modify/expand the system and integrate it with other software systems via their own in-house programming resources and save on large expenses that can usually accompany such customization and integration.

Unlike enterprise software systems from other software companies for business collaboration (Oracle (Nasdaq:ORCL), Siebel(TM) (Nasdaq:SEBL), Peoplesoft(TM) (Nasdaq:PSFT), SAP(TM) (NYSE:SAP), IBM/Lotus Notes(TM) (NYSE:IBM), etc.), which usually hit the customer with follow up customization and integration fees ranging from hundreds to millions of dollars, purchase of WeMeeting Enterprise carries no such risks.

Under the new open source code licensing of WeMeeting, the customer can alter and expand the code to create derivative products for their own internal usage without any royalty payments to NetDIVE. The only limitation is that no derivative products based on WeMeeting source code may be created for sale or distribution outside of their company.

Besides the new Open Source aspect of WeMeeting some of the features that make it the best technology for corporate instant messaging and collaboration are:

    1.  Voice over IP of highest quality -- even through firewalls

    2.  Application sharing

    3.  Secure communication

    4.  Presence awareness -- know the status of your team members on
        a worldwide basis and be able to communicate with them with
        one click

    5.  Plus much more

WeMeeting Enterprise is priced at only $399.00 per Seat with a minimum of 100 Seats required. There are price break points at 250, 500 & 1000 Seat levels.
