IMConferencing Makes Web Conferencing Affordable for Small to Midsize Businesses Torrance, Calif., January 20, 2004 -- LiveOffice Corporation (www.liveoffice.com), the leading provider of web sites, compliance systems and collaborative applications, today announced the release of IMConferencing (www.imconferencing.com), the first fully integrated application to merge the immediacy of instant messaging (IM) with the powerful features of traditional web and telephone conferencing. Designed and pricedspecifically for the small to midsize business (SMB) market, IMConferencing (IMC) greatly improves business communications, enhances employee productivity and establishes web conferencing as an essential tool for SMBs.

Through an easy-to-use IM window that acts as a virtual launch pad for online collaboration, IMC meeting hosts can launch impromptu or scheduled web meetings directly from IM sessions. During the course of a chat session, the host can lead participants through web pages, share files or applications and connect into a simultaneous telephone conference. At the conclusion of each IMC meeting, the system automatically creates a transcript of the event and archives it for future reference.

"LiveOffice is proud to lead the way in the development of next generation web conferencing technologies for small to midsize businesses," said Matthew Smith, chief operating officer of LiveOffice Corp. "Until now the cost and complexity of web conferencing technologies have been a huge barrier to adoption within the small and midsize business market. IMC eliminates that barrier and makes this crucial collaboration tool accessible and affordable for these businesses."

From IMC's full-featured instant messaging window, users have access to a variety of interactive meeting tools, including:

• Conference Calling instantly connects meeting participants into a teleconference. Once the teleconferencing feature has been launched to participants, they can choose to dial an 800-number or instruct the system to automatically dial out to them. Throughout the duration of the meeting, the presenter can control whether a participant has the right to speak or "listen only."
• Application Sharing allows hosts to share any application on their PC desktop with participants. This feature enables joint collaboration on a single document or spreadsheet and is ideal for training offsite workers. IMC's application sharing also allows support personnel to provide hands-on assistance to remote customers that need help troubleshooting technical issues on home or office PCs.
• Slide Presentations enable the host to quickly load and view any MS PowerPoint presentation in real-time with participants. Hosts can transfer control of the presentation to any attendee and turn the meeting into a joint collaboration session. This feature facilitates instant dialogue between participants, producing more effective meeting results in less time.
• Co-Browsing lets the host lead participants through any series of web pages. IMC's web surfing capabilities ensure that everyone is seeing the same web page and contributing relevant thoughts and ideas to meetings. This feature also makes technical training on web-based products quick and easy.
• File Sharing enables the host to quickly transfer files to participants for downloading before, during or after a meeting. This feature can also be used during simple chat sessions to ensure that confidential materials reach the proper recipient. IMC's file sharing capability means that hosts don't have to take time out of their day to send a "follow up" email containing relevant meeting materials.

For companies in regulated industries, such as financial services and healthcare, IMC is integrated with LiveOffice's existing compliance system so that all meeting transcripts can be monitored and archived for future reference.

IMC is now available and priced at just $50 per seat license, per month for all of the features listed above.
