WebEx Connect Unlocks Software Suite and Enables New Generation of
Distributed Innovation with On-Demand Integration, Distribution and
Monetization Platform MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and SAN FRANCISCO,
April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Web 2.0 Expo 2007 --
thinkingVOICE and WebEx (NASDAQ:WEBX), the leading provider of
on-demand applications for collaborative business, today announced
that thinkingVOICE has joined the WebEx Connect Developer Network
to make its phone leads on demand and click to call services
available via WebEx Connect. WebEx Connect, the first collaborative
on-demand platform, will enable developers and customers to
integrate multiple applications to create powerful collaborative
business "mashup" solutions from best-of-breed web-based,
on-premises and desktop applications. thinkingVOICE's lead
generation services enables businesses to pay per call - giving
every business the ability to make their phones ring with qualified
prospects on the other line without the uncertainty of pay per
click or cost per impression advertising. Getting started with
thinkingVOICE is a 5 minute process where an ad and landing page is
created online. Each advertiser completes a checklist targeting
keywords, categories and geographies. Once approved, the ad is
placed in thinkingVOICE's ad exchange -- a network of dozens of
online and offline ad publishers including search sites, mobile
search, directory assistance services and online directories. To
see a demo of how the service works, go to
http://www.thinkingvoice.com/ppl. There is no upfront fee for WebEx
Connect customers to sign up or to get their first few phone leads.
Upon trial expiration, a customer can select the fee it is willing
to pay to continue to receive more phone leads on a pay for
performance model. "As one of the pioneering companies in pay per
call advertising, we are excited about extending our services to
the WebEx Connect community, "said Sean Wani, president,
thinkingVOICE. "It is clear that on-the-phone interaction with
potential customers better equips companies to close more sales."
thinkingVOICE provides one of the many services users will be able
to access through the WebEx Connect Marketplace of applications.
WebEx Connect will enable users to integrate data from multiple
applications into collaborative workspaces, custom designed for
their particular workflows and business processes. Unlike
traditional transactional applications, WebEx Connect is designed
to improve productivity by enhancing collaboration and interaction
between individuals. By leveraging open Web 2.0 protocols and
collaborative WebEx applications programming interfaces (APIs),
WebEx Connect will make it easy to adapt on-demand, desktop, and
enterprise applications to create composite, "mashup" applications.
"There is no better way to help our WebEx Connect customers grow
their business than by making their phones ring," said Shankar
Iyer, vice president, WebEx Connect Ecosystem, WebEx.
"Pay-for-performance models based on delivering qualified phone
leads versus anonymous clicks provide great value in allowing our
customers to connect and collaborate real-time with prospects." The
WebEx Connect Developer Network provides the tools, training,
resources and community that developers need to build and market
applications for WebEx Connect. Developers can access WebEx Connect
documentation, APIs, a "sandbox" development platform and join the
partner program to access a beta WebEx Connect client. WebEx
Connect partner marketing services can help developers generate
go-to-market strategies and leads for the applications on the WebEx
Connect Marketplace. To learn more about the WebEx Connect
