Do you ever wish you could meet more often or more easily with colleagues to discuss reports or review plans? You would if meetings were not so expensive and getting together was not so difficult.
With WebArrow, nobody has to leave their desks. You meet, talk and share using your computers and the Internet. All the tools including voice are built in and ready to go. No travel costs. No phone bills. No lost time.
Enterprises—commercial, education, or government—are increasingly distributed and are increasingly challenged to improve the way they work and tele-work. One technology holding bright promise for improving work efficiency, reducing travel time and reducing the effects of distance is web-conferencing. The core technology for web-conferencing has been available for some time. However, the ability to use it as a simple, reliable, complete “dial-tone” utility has been inhibited by complex setup processes, firewall problems, frequent disconnects and tricky operation. And even where web-collaboration works, it typically works as a standalone application. Enter WebArrow. Read how WebArrow allows you to add intervention-free and interruption-free, highly secure collaborative meetings to your existing web-site or application.
Security, Simplicity, Reliability, Completeness:
… Introducing WebArrow/Conference
Namzak Labs has developed the WebArrow conferencing tool with the objectives of security, simplicity, reliability and completeness.
• Security: state-of-the art security and firewall handling
• Simplicity: single click setup and transparent operation
• Reliability: totally robust and stable
• Completeness: provides all standard web-conferencing services and many unique features you won’t find anywhere else
Transparently Running Successful Meetings
The powerful but simple WebArrow combination ultimately delivers intervention and interruption-free business meetings so you can focus on the agenda, not the technology. Share applications and documents, carry on conversations, exchange documents and graphics files, annotate and mark up the screen, cut and paste between computers…most importantly, get your business done with WebArrow.
WebArrow is incredibly simple to integrate and use.
Using WebArrow you can share your desktop or view another’s. If desired, add a voice connection. Let others either make a point using remote gesturing or enter their contribution to a document via their keyboard. Annotate the shared desktop to highlight and emphasize key points and issues. When you are finished, exchange your document with your colleagues through the unique File Sharing feature. If this is the first time that this you have used WebArrow, the software will quickly download and install itself, start running, and connect you to your conference. There is nothing more for you to do!
WebArrow’s Voice over IP (VoIP) service allows you to talk for free, without the need for a separate teleconference. A stereo headset with a noise cancelling microphone will optimize the VoIP. It works with all standard PC audio configurations and adjusts itself for optimum performance. The VoIP operates in “Conversation” or “Push-to-Talk” modes.
No PC, or headset, or sound card? No problem. WebArrow also offers very reasonably priced teleconferencing.
A named user subscription entitles a single person (the named user) to conduct Internet conferences with as many participants up to the named user limit (5, 10 or 25). The named user may conduct any number of sequential meetings for as long as desired within the subscription period. A monthly subscription renews on the 1st or 16th of each month depending on when the subscription is initiated. Annual subscriptions are paid in advance annually. Prices are for government, school districts or regions and schools, and education suppliers.

If you use a firewall, y our firewall must permit:

It’s Always Current
WebArrow is normally downloaded the first time it is used and subsequently stored on each participant’s PC f or future use. The download is small and secure.
Each time a participant enters a meeting, WebArrow’s Meeting Management Server checks to see if an upgrade is available and automatically updates the software, if appropriate, and free of charge. (Special arrangements are available for enterprises with a PC lockdown policy .)
