September 27, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Yahoo! Inc. (yahoo.com), has announced the availability of business solutions to help companies communicate with customers, employees, and business partners. New Internet broadcasting packages delivered through Yahoo!’s business communications division, Yahoo! Broadcast Services (business.broadcast.com), offer alternatives to traditional corporate conferences, sales meetings, and trade shows.
r
r
With travel and meeting costs rising and recent travel restrictions causing
r
executives and conference organizers to cancel previously scheduled
r
meetings, Yahoo! says it has developed solutions that can be rapidly
r
deployed, are less costly, and have proven very effective as an alternative
r
to conventional large-scale meetings.
r
r
“Speaking with one voice to hundreds, or thousands, of internal and external
r
contacts is an essential part of strategic business communications,” said
r
Jim Fanella, senior vice president of Yahoo!’s business and enterprise
r
services division. “Yahoo!’s solutions will allow companies to continue
r
vital communications that were centered around large scale meetings and
r
maintain critical and focused outreach to customers, sales forces, and
r
business partners.”
r
r
Two immediately available packages are the Virtual Conference and an
r
Executive Communications Center.
r
r
The Virtual Conference product addresses a variety of meeting needs. Unlike
r
a traditional conference, numeroussubject tracks can be made available for
r
live or on demand viewing and can be accessed by thousands of individuals at
r
numerous global locations. The Virtual Conference combines audio, video,
r
informational slides synched to presentations, and a browser to view other
r
meetings associated with the same conference. It also features polling,
r
question and answer, document sharing, live attendance tracking, and post
r
event reporting on attendees. There is an optional pay-per-view capability,
r
as well.
r
r
Given heightened demand in Global 2000 corporations for rapid internal
r
communication, the Executive Communication Center is specifically tailored
r
to deliver high-level information during times of breaking news that will
r
affect a company or its business. The product serves as an immediate
r
communications channel to allow rapid global distribution of critical
r
corporate information to internal audiences. Yahoo! Broadcast Services
r
personnel will be available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to
r
acquire and distribute corporate broadcasts within four hours of receipt.
