SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- ON24 Inc., the global leader in webcasting and video communication solutions, convened the first annual Customer Advisory Board meeting on August 10th at its corporate headquarters in San Francisco. Attending the conference were marketing executives representing a variety of industry sectors across ON24's direct client base, including Cardinal Health, Cisco Systems, Deloitte, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, IMD, Motorola and US Telecom.
The focus of the program was to enhance understanding of webcasting and ON24; initiate information-exchange and networking among clients; and learn ways to leverage the 'best practices' approaches. Many representatives discussed techniques and first-hand experiences in driving measurable results and maximizing the ROI on their marketing and communications programs.
"Webcasting, with its increasing use of video and rich media, continues to evolve at a rapid pace across corporate America," said Sharat Sharan, President and CEO of ON24. "Staying at the forefront of this trend through continued innovation has been an ongoing goal for ON24. We have always sought client input for ideas about potential enhancements. Now, the Advisory Board formalizes that process and underscores the importance we place on being market-driven."
Ira Weinstein, Senior Analyst and Partner at Wainhouse Research, moderated the event.
"In recent years, webcasting has become a core business tool for many global organizations," explained Weinstein to session participants. "User interface enhancements and integration with other workflow tools have paved the way for increased usage and adoption." Weinstein continued by saying, "By establishing this Customer Advisory Board and proactively seeking customer feedback, ON24 has once again demonstrated its commitment to its global user base."
