FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2001
Genesys Conferencing Reports Over 15,500 Seats
Sold for Genesys Meeting Center
Rapid Acceptance from More than 350 Clients in Just Four Weeks
Bedford, Mass. and Montpellier, France - December 6, 2001 - Genesys Conferencing
(Euronext: 3955) (Nasdaq: GNSY), the world's leading conferencing specialist,
today announced that Genesys Meeting Center, the company's new integrated audio
and Web conferencing platform, has already been adopted by more than 350 clients
across North America and the United Kingdom, where Genesys Meeting Center has
been available since its launch at the end of October.
Half of these Genesys Meeting Center clients are existing clients of Genesys
Conferencing, while over 20 percent were previously using competitors' Web
conferencing services, demonstrating the appeal of Genesys Meeting Center and
its potential to significantly expand the company's customer base.
Ninety percent of the companies signing up for Genesys Meeting Center are
medium- to large-sized corporations. The number of subscriptions per client is
expected to rise sharply as most of these clients are in their initial phase of
rolling out Genesys Meeting Center.
"We are very happy with our results so far. We believe Genesys Meeting Center is
beginning to generate strong momentum within the business community. Companies
are realizing that for less than $50 per month, they can get the best multimedia
and Web conferencing experience in the market," explained Francois Legros,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Genesys Conferencing. He added, "Our
results, although reflecting only four weeks of sales efforts, show that not
only is Genesys Conferencing leveraging its existing customer base to
successfully deploy Genesys Meeting Center, but also that Genesys Meeting Center
is attracting brand new customers to the company."
Genesys Meeting Center is the world's first fully integrated audio and Web
conferencing platform that gives users voice and Web functionality within a
single interface. The technology developed by Genesys Conferencing for Genesys
Meeting Center recently won a Best of Show Award for "Most Effective Use in Web
Conferencing" at Telecon 2001, the United States' largest annual
teleconferencing trade show.
As the world's leading conferencing specialist, Genesys Conferencing continues
the global rollout of Genesys Meeting Center, making it available in France,
Benelux and Sweden this month, in Asia-Pacific and Denmark in January 2002, and
in Spain, Germany, Norway, Finland and Italy in February 2002. Localized
versions in French, German, Swedish, Spanish and Italian will be available.
