Genesys Meeting Center Becomes Fastest-Growing Web Conferencing Solution
40,000 Seats Sold in Three Months; Gains Strong Momentum with Global Businesses
Bedford, Mass. and Montpellier, France - February 12, 2002 - Genesys
Conferencing (Euronext: 3955) (Nasdaq: GNSY), the world's leading conferencing
specialist, announced today that just three months after its launch, Genesys
Meeting Center, the world's first integrated audio and web conferencing
platform, has become the industry's fastest-growing collaboration and
conferencing solution, with the deployment of nearly 40,000 seats from November
2001 through the end of January 2002.
Genesys Conferencing is leveraging its strong customer base of over 17,000
companies worldwide, as well as developing new client relationships. More than
72% of Genesys Meeting Center users are new Genesys Conferencing customers,
representing clients who are new to web conferencing or have upgraded from
competitive providers.
The Company expects continued adoption of Genesys Meeting Center and projects
that it will reach about 20% penetration of its total automated audio service
clients by the end of 2002.
The Company also reported that preliminary statistics show that within a month
of their move to Genesys Meeting Center, its former audio-only customers have
increased their audio conferencing by about 15%.
"The growth of Genesys Meeting Center has been outstanding and has exceeded all
of our expectations," said Francois Legros, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Genesys Conferencing. "Genesys Meeting Center is the fastest-growing
solution in the industry, growing nearly four times faster than the former
market leader. There is a clear shift of momentum and of the market's attention.
The multimedia benefits, our worldwide presence and our aggressive pricing model
of unlimited usage for up to 15 participants for $39.95 monthly, uniquely
positions us for continued success."
Genesys Meeting Center provides users access to a virtual conference room,
available 24x7. Customer's return on investment includes the ability to
communicate and collaborate more cost effectively, while enjoying the same
impact and results as in-person meetings. Sales meetings, marketing seminars,
online product announcements and channel communications are a few of the
applications being used by global customers.
