LEXINGTON, Mass. -- Convoq, Inc., an innovative provider of communication and collaboration services, today announced that it has been selected as a winner in the category of Communications and Mobile Computing for the 2005 MITX Technology Awards. The MITX Technology Awards, produced by the Massachusetts Innovation & Technology Exchange, recognize innovative technologies developed in the New England area, as well as the individuals and organizations responsible for driving these advancements.

Convoq was selected based on its flagship product, ASAP Pro 2.0, the Web conference service for everyday meetings. ASAP Pro 2.0 features ASAP Links, a new technology that allows users and groups to embed presence-enabled links in e-mails and publish them on Web sites, providing customers and colleagues with real time access - without the need to license or install any software. The ASAP Links functionality, combined with standard e-mail and IM invitations as well as powerful new scheduling features, make it the most flexible solution for gathering people into online meetings.

"It is truly rewarding for Convoq to be recognized as 'innovative' within the New England arena, a true hotbed of technology achievement," said Chuck Digate, chief executive officer and president of Convoq. "Combined with the company's recent Network Magazine innovation award, this is a great testament to the exceptional work of everyone within the organization."
