Web Conferencing
Expert Software Systems
can develop and support
Web Conferencing,
as part of your Web Site. Web Conferencing allows users of the
conference-enabled Web Site to create and manage Web discussion groups.
Each Web discussion group is known as a
Conference
or a
Topic.
Collectively, all conferences at your Web Site constitute what is
known as a
Web Board.
Some of the Web Conferencing features that can be developed and supported for
your Web Board include:
-
Real-time discussion and message posting -
Users of your Web Conferencing facility will be able to read and
post messsages in real-time, in an unlimited number of conferences,
that the administrator of the Web Board (either
Expert Software Systems
or you) will be able to regulate and maintain.
-
Multiple Web Boards, each with Unlimited conferences -
Your Web Site can be designed with one or more Web Boards; each
containing an unlimited number of conferences.
-
Java-script real-time Chat -
In addition to posting/reviewing messages in Conferences, users using
Java-script enabled Browsers such as Netscape Navigator© or Microsoft's
Internet Explorer©, will be able to Chat interactively in real-time,
within the auspices of your Web Board.
-
Ability to advertise in Chat rooms -
You will be able to solicit advertisers at your Web Board, to advertise
in Java spots in your Chat rooms, for profit. Expert Software Systems
charges a small percentage fee of the advertising price that you charge
your clients. (See Price Information), for
pricing details.
-
Support for file attachments on message postings -
Not only will users be able to post textual messages at your Web Board,
but they will also be able to post/retrieve file attachments that may
include text or graphics.
-
Email notification on message postings -
Options can be set by any user of the Web Board (including its
administrator) to automatically get sent an Internet Email message
notification, whenever a message posting to a particular conference
takes place. This does not require that the user be logged onto your
Web Board.
-
Spell-checking on Messages -
All messages that are submitted for posting on a Web Board, can
optionally be spell-checked, when this function is requested.
-
Access control on Conferences -
The administrator of your Web Board (either
Expert Software Systems
or you) will be able to regulate and maintain access control to
the Web Board (as a whole) and to individual conferences in the
Web Board. This includes the ability to make a conference public,
private, moderated, or read-only.
-
Message and User searching -
All conferences in your Web Board will be able to be searched (for
specific text occurrrences OR for user names), using a powerful
search engine.
Note that
Expert Software Systems
uses O'Reilly and Associates' Webboard©
product as the foundation for all Web Conferencing development.
