Los Gatos, CA (PRWEB) May 17, 2005
Persony (“per-so-nee”), a Web conferencing software provider, today announced the launch of the company and its product, Persony VShow?, the first Web conferencing solution that uses standard Web servers to host online meetings. By leveraging millions of current Web servers and hosting service providers, Persony brings the cost of Web conferencing down dramatically and makes it affordable to small businesses and individuals.
Web
conferencing nd online collaboration markets are expected to grow 27% to $ 1.8 billion this year, according to research firm IDC. Most Web conferencing solutions require installing a complicated proprietary server or using an expensive service.
?Remember when cell phones used to cost hundreds of dollars a month? Web conferencing services still cost that much today,? says Eric Chen, Founder and CEO of Persony.
?Persony VShow allows anyone to run Web meetings using a website that costs $ 20 a month. We believe it is a disruptive technology that will bring Web
conferencing o the masses.?

Persony VShow LE: for instantly sharing a desktop screen with one click.
