Highlights / Key Facts:
- With gas prices so high today, commuting to the office and traveling
to customer sites by car or air has become very expensive. Small businesses
and individual professionals feel the pinch acutely, and are seeking new
ways to serve customers and interact with colleagues while saving travel
expenses. Many are discovering they can take care of business very
effectively -- at far less cost -- with WebEx online meetings.
- WebEx makes it possible for people to share presentations and
documents, and demonstrate applications over the web, much like they do in
person. They can even share their webcams to create a face-to-face
experience.

clients, provide training, and have routine staff or project meetings.
People can host and join online meetings from any Internet-connected
computer, anywhere in the world.

small businesses. It is a limited-time offer, and runs through October 25,
2008. It includes:

meeting service, compatible with both PCs and Macs.
