Web Session to Discuss Advantages of Web Conferencing Software Solutions

PHOENIX, Arizona (August 04, 2005) –

iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), developers of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions, announced a free, live Web event featuring Roopam Jain, Senior Analyst – Conferencing & Collaboration for Frost & Sullivan and author of “World Web Conferencing Markets 2005.” The 30-minute session will detail why organizations are migrating from ASP service to purchased software solutions, the types of organizations best suited for Web conferencing software, and key factors in implementing Web conferencing software successfully. Interested parties can register for the free event at www.ilinc.com/event.

In a recent report from industry analyst Frost and Sullivan, the Web conferencing purchased software market is projected to grow about 39% CAGR over the next six years while the Web conferencing service market will grow approximately 22% CAGR over the same time period. “We believe that increasing usage within organizations that have adopted Web conferencing as a best practice is driving this trend which is in line with how we have structured our product offering,” noted James M. Powers, Jr., president and chief executive officer of iLinc Communications. “As Web conferencing usage within any organization grows, installed software solutions become attractive because they offer important benefits over hosted services such as: cost savings and a high ROI; better control and security; better integration with existing programs and applications and unlimited usage. iLinc also offers a hosted software purchase model that enables companies to buy their Web conferencing software and host it at the iLinc co-location facility. The result is that these organizations enjoy the savings of a one-time purchase fee for unlimited Web conferencing without involving their IT resources. When these organizations are ready to move their software from our co-location to their internal network, they can easily do so. This strategy enables our organization to take advantage of the current strength of the Web conferencing service market and yet retain customers as they make the natural transition to installed software solutions.”
