Jan 16, 2007 : Adobe Releases Acrobat Connect

📅 January 16, 2007 - Software applications developer Adobe Systems (adobe.com) announced on Monday it has launched a new service called Adobe Acrobat Connect, the first hosted Web conferencing service to offer "always-on" personal meeting rooms.

Adobe says Acrobat Connect enables workers to instantly meet and conduct business online through real-time, interactive Web conferencing that is simple to access and easy to use. Acrobat Connect enables users to choose an easy-to-remember Web address for their online personal meeting room that is unique to them, much like a phone number or email address. And because there is no extra software to download, users can hold spontaneous, ad-hoc meetings that are convenient to join, says the company.

"The feedback from users during our Acrobat Connect trial the past few months has been overwhelmingly positive," says Tom Hale, senior VP of knowledge worker business unit at Adobe. "It has reinforced our belief that the product stands apart from traditional Web conferencing solutions in terms of ease-of-use, elegance, and the instant access it provides anyone with an Adobe Flash enabled browser."

Acrobat Connect is immediately available in English in North America for a subscription price of $39 per month, or $395 per year per personal meeting room.
