iLinc Green Meterâ?¢ Empowers Customers by Automa8cally Tracking Actual Cost and Environmental Savings Derived from Mee8ng and Training Online

PHOENIX, Arizona (September 25, 2009) –

iLinc, a leading provider of web and video conferencing
software and services, today announced that it had received a patent from the United States Patent
and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its iLinc Green Meter(TM). The patent includes the applica8on,
algorithms and processes embedded within the core iLinc technology that tracks the dollars saved and
greenhouse emissions avoided when customers use iLinc web conferencing for mee8ngs, events and
training sessions rather than traveling by car, train or airplane.
James M. Powers, Jr., President and Chief Execu8ve Officer of iLinc, said, “We are very proud to receive a
patent for the Green Meter. This one-of-a-kind tool provides our customers tangible evidence of the
economic and environmental savings that they have accrued using our web conferencing solu8ons while
avoiding the headaches and produc8vity losses of travel. As a service-oriented solu8ons provider, we are
driven to developing tools that today’s organiza8ons can leverage to drive revenue and increase
efficiency. The iLinc Green Meter, with its automated and comprehensive repor8ng capabili8es, is just
one example of this singular focus on enabling customer success.”
By moving mee8ngs, events and training sessions to the iLinc pla^orm, iLinc customers can not only
expect enhanced produc8vity, but they are also able to rely on the patented Green Meter to accurately
measure the financial savings that result from their web conferencing investment. In one case study, the
State of Arizona indicated that it saved over $1.7 million and reduced its emissions by more than 761,000
pounds of carbon dioxide in just the first year of iLinc usage. Tad Woodon, the state’s former Director of
Efficiency Review, stated, “With iLinc, we are reducing the costs associated with travel and increasing the
produc8vity of state employees.”
The USPTO issued to iLinc patent number 7,590,690 on September 15, 2009. Mr. Ethan Abrams, iLinc’s
VP of Product Development, and Ms. Marie Pren8ce, a long-term sogware developer at iLinc, are listed
as the co-inventors of the patented process. To learn more about how the iLinc Green Meter(TM) can help
