STURGIS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 2003

In preparation for the latest release of its new security solution,

Carmichael Security is utilizing powerful and

economic Cata Web conferencing software

Carmichael Security, LLC, a leading supplier of security measurement solutions, today confirmed that it is using Web conferencing provided by Cata Technologies to support sales of their latest release of SecureMetric(TM).

Cata offers customers fully featured visual conferencing at a fraction of the financial investment compared to most of its competitors.

The Cata technology enables Carmichael Security to schedule and then conduct a full spectrum of meetings with current and prospective customers without incurring the financial and physical burden of travel. Cata Web conferencing provides the medium through which participants in remote locations can participate via visual presentations, collaboration and sharing of files. Cata allows companies to decide the cost effectiveness of sending an entire team or a few key players, while still making all resource people available at meetings. The visual presentations are complimented through teleconferencing that can be arranged separately. The cost can be as low as $89.95 per month, plus telecommunications costs.

"We are on the threshold of launching our groundbreaking new security product, but like all companies in today's stringent fiscal climate, we have to be very careful in managing expenses," said Tim Carmichael, CEO of Carmichael Security. "Cata has given us the ability to do online sales presentations and conferencing for a tiny fraction of the cost we would have incurred with the other services on the market."

Cata Web conferencing is designed for organizations and individuals that need a simple, affordable tool to help them sell products, service customers, train and communicate. Cata takes advantage of the Internet to allow interactive meetings with as many as 50 people in one virtual room. By simply using a computer, an Internet connection and a phone line, users can make sales presentations, present financial information in a spread sheet, interact with CAD programs, share ideas with PowerPoint(R) presentations and Web pages, conduct polls with results displayed in bar graphs, send messages, and remotely share desktops.
