Meeting Maker, Inc. Launches WebEvent View Version 2.0; Offers Industry's Most Advanced Event Calendar Management Tool.

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Newest Software Helps Organizations and Universities Increase Revenue and Cut Costs

Meeting Maker, Inc., a leader in collaborative time management software, today launched WebEvent View 2.0, a Web-based tool that provides robust event management and calendar scheduling capabilities to address the needs of businesses, academic institutions and organizations of all sizes. WebEvent View integrates event calendaring and scheduling into one enterprise-wide system, providing individualized views into the full range of calendaring information available to employees, faculty and students, partners and customers. WebEvent View enables organizations to communicate public event information to external audiences via a Web site while maintaining internal event calendars on an intranet.

"We have been using WebEvent products at the university for several years and have been extremely pleased," said Derek Pitts of Texas A&M University. "WebEvent View has helped us improve service to faculty, staff and students by allowing them to view, submit and schedule events. With the simple yet powerful guest interface and streamlined event submission workflow in WebEvent View 2.0, users can find, view and subscribe to events more easily, which has translated into increased attendance at many of our events."

According to Kathleen Quirk, research analyst for Nucleus Research, "Meeting Maker, Inc. is focused on providing solutions to their customers that solve real business needs and can deliver a demonstrable ROI. What is most compelling about WebEvent View 2.0 is that it provides customers with a tool that has the potential to lower operating expenses and untap new revenue streams."

"WebEvent products have been used by leading corporations and universities since 1997," said Deborah C. Umbach, director of product marketing for Meeting Maker, Inc. "Based on our customers' evolving needs, we have incorporated the next generation of event calendaring capabilities into version 2.0. This customer-driven tool not only enables managers in all types of organizations to save costs, but also to increase event attendance and generate new sources of revenue."

Highlights of the new functionality available in WebEvent View 2.0 include:

--Expanded External Communication - Administrators can set-up an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) export/feed from WebEvent to enable real-time distribution of specific events to a wide audience simultaneously and instantaneously.

--Improved Guest User Interface - An expanded guest user interface displayed on the home page allows anonymous users to access public calendars. Guests can view calendars for specific dates, search for events, and see featured activities all from the home page. Organizations can highlight events they wish to promote and make it easier for their guests to zoom in on the most relevant information.

--Enhanced Calendar Event Filtering - The new software enables users to filter events by title to narrow results and provide more granularity for events that particularly interest them. This provides quicker and easier access to key information.

--Enhanced Batch Import Functionality - Non-technical users can now import events from CSV files within the Web interface without having to go to a server console. This saves time and allows organizations to easily import events from other sources such as a homegrown event calendar or a resource scheduling software application.

--Usage Reporting - In addition to e-mail subscriber reports, administrators can now view and export usage activity, including the total number of active users, number of logins per user and total number of events created within a specific timeframe. This enables organizations to more effectively manage their usage of WebEvent View.

In May 2004, Meeting Maker, Inc. acquired WebEvent, Inc. to broaden the company's suite of Web-based collaborative calendaring/scheduling products and strengthen its leadership position in the collaborative time-management marketplace. Since version 1.0, WebEvent View has offered LDAP integrated security, group management, vCalendar integration, multiple calendar overlays, and e-mail subscription notifications. WebEvent View 2.0 represents the first major release of the product since Meeting Maker, Inc. acquired WebEvent, Inc.
