(Stockholm, Sweden - Morristown, NJ) - Marratech AB of Sweden and its U.S.A. operation, Marratech USA has again moved significantly forward with major developments and refinements in its affordable and now even more user-friendly, next-generation, real-time, face-to-face, Marratech® Internet-based communications system solution:

* MeetNow!®...now makes getting "enabled" with Marratech a breeze. With this new Java-based web start technology, all end-users have to do now is click on a hyperlink in an e-mail or on a website to be taken to a Marratech meeting portal. When an end-user clicks on a meeting room to join and Marratach client software is not already on an end-user's computer, MeetNow® will automatically offer up the download to the user's desktop for a quick install. This is now as easy as getting the latest player plug-in, and once installed, software updating is automatic and end-users can join a meeting right from their own web browser...instead looking for the Marratech application to launch...making enablement and joining a meeting... a whole lot more transparent.

* Marratech® Version 5...Gone forever is the old "Marratech Pro" name for Marratech client software.... It's now just called "Marratech" and its way more professional thanks to major refinements of the user interface. Pop-up windows, for example are now a thing of the past. All inteface elements appear in one window and that window is more configurable then ever before. Mac users will benefit from rewrite of video rendering software that leverages the new version of Quicktime found in Mac OSX Tiger, and everyone will benefit from major improvements to dynamic application sharing. It's now possible to let someone else "drive" your machine from their computer!

* Marratech Manager® Version 3...Marratech server software now sports a new name, reflecting new emphasis on managing meetings, meeting rooms, and users and an entire menu of new options like support of MeetNew! and a new Marratech Manager® API that allows for integration into existing web services applications and the ability to create standalone company-branded applications such as charge-back applications and better integration of Marratech into existing enterprise-wide network system infrastructure.

* Time-to-Meet® Online Conferencing Service...Soon to arrive will also be a new "pay-per-go" subscription-based meeting service from Marratech that will be available right from our own website.
