[Hidden-tech] Web Demo advice

[Daniel Fried]

Arlen,

 

I highly recommend GoToMeeting (GoToMeeting.com).  Easy to install and use,
the $50/month version allows up to 10 guests at a time and they also have
webcasting services for larger demos.  You can demo on your screen and also
allow others to take over the controls if you want, or share others screens
(not that it sounds like you're looking for that).  You can choose to share
the entire screen, or only a specific open window.  

 

Your guests just go to gotomeeting.com click the "Join a Meeting" button and
after the software installs (just a few minutes, with no reboot) enter the
meeting code you give them.  

 

Only PC's can share their screens, but there is a Macintosh client for
viewing.

 

We use it for demos, training and support and it's made life a lot easier.

 

There's also a 30-day free trial if you want to try it out.

 

-Dan

REMEDIA is a startup that has produced a complete system of tools and
products to attack arguably the greatest unmet need in healthcare today: the
problem of excessive, unnecessary, and often dangerous and conflicting
medication prescribing and use.  We are at a point where we need to
tele-demonstrate our products' capabilities to a number of potential
customers and other stakeholders.  We are looking to engage a service that
will allow us to tele-demo our system to others.  We have identified a
number of vendors, such as WebEX, but we would like to solicit Hidden-Tech
members as to their experience and recommendations with such vendors.  Here
are our requirements:

1.       Allow us to control a presentation from our computer.

2.       Ability to accommodate our flexible, on-the-fly presentation flow
so that we can demonstrate the full interactive potential of our interfaces
in response to specific questions asked by the participants viewing the
presentation on their monitor(s).  

3.       We will almost always be demo-ing to one computer, but we would
also like the flexibility to simultaneously demo to a few computers.

4.       The presentation needs to be ephemeral.  We do not want a system
that will allow the viewer to download portions of our presentation nor
copies of our interface screens to a file for future viewing.

5.       All things being equal, we would prefer as low cost a service as
possible.

If you have any recommendations or thoughts, please let us know.  Thank you
in advance.
