Genesys (Euronext Eurolist C:FR0004270270)(NASDAQ:GNSY), a global
multimedia collaboration service leader, today announced that it is
the first company to bring full virtual meeting capabilities to
participants with Apple�s revolutionary iPhone. The standards-based
AJAX technology of Genesys Meeting Center 4.0 allows users to
effortlessly join a voice and web meeting through the iPhone�s
Safari browser. �Genesys� strategy is always to provide ubiquitous
access to virtual meetings regardless of the platform, browser or
device you�re using,� said Denise Persson, EVP Global Marketing of
Genesys. �Businesses are becoming increasingly dispersed and
require the flexibility and ease-of-use needed for professionals to
collaborate over mobile devices from anywhere they happen to be.
Today, twenty percent of all participants attend meetings from a
cell phone. With the iPhone, people will have access to the full
experience of a virtual meeting anywhere and anytime without
carrying a laptop.� �We are delighted to bring this critical
business capability to the iPhone, right from the start,� added
Persson. �The iPhone�s remarkably sleek display is a great display
for the simple and user-friendly interface of Genesys Meeting
Center 4.0. It�s a great marriage of an elegant hardware and
browser-based software as a service application working together to
serve both the business and aesthetic needs and desires of mobile
professionals.� Key benefits for iPhone users include: Real-time
collaboration: Participants are able to view real-time online
presentations, document-, and application-sharing instantly. All
features regularly viewable on a desktop during a web meeting are
supported on the iPhone with zoom-in capabilities and
portrait/landscape view. Speed varies depending on Wi-Fi or EDGE
connection speed. Simplified meeting access and cost-efficiency:
With Genesys Meeting Center�s �dial me� feature, participants don�t
need to locate the dial-in number or worry about connection
charges. One click via the iPhone�s Safari browser allows users to
participate in the web meeting and at the same time the application
automatically calls the participant. Mobile access brings an
element of increased usability to traditional conferencing and
collaboration. While many browser-based applications working on the
iPhone are targeted towards consumers, Genesys understands that
business users are taking advantage of the iPhone�s full
feature-set and high usability. Genesys provides its enterprise
customers, including over half of the Fortune 500, ubiquitous
access to the virtual meeting tools they�re accustomed to using for
faster and more efficient virtual meetings. iPhone is a trademark
