Fort Lauderdale, Florida, (May 9, 2007) — Elluminate, Inc., a leading provider of live eLearning and Web collaboration software for the real-time organization, today announced that it has been positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant based in part on “Completeness of Vision” by Gartner, Inc., a research and advisory firm, in its Magic Quadrant for Web Conferencing, 2007. ¹

Gartner Research Vice President Jeffrey Mann assessed more than 14 Web conferencing vendors according to each vendor’s ability to execute and completeness of vision. Among the criteria evaluated were the company’s innovation, market understanding, product viability, customer experience and vertical/industry strategy. Mann’s analysis of these specific criteria was then depicted as a graphical representation of the Web conferencing marketplace at and for a specific time period.

Elluminate Live!, the company’s flagship product, is used for collaborative meetings and eLearning by organizations such as Novell, The Pan American Health Organization, Red Hat and Sun Microsystems, as well as hundreds of K-12 and higher education institutions throughout the world. Key features of Elluminate Live! include the software’s ability to work on multiple platforms (including Linux, Solaris, Macintosh, Windows and more), its free, full-function, three-seat vRoom (http://www.elluminate.com/vroom) and its “No User Left Behind” philosophy, which incorporates strong American Disabilities Act compliance features with an ability to work on very low bandwidths.

“We’re honored to be named to the Visionaries Quadrant in this year’s Web Conferencing Magic Quadrant,” said Maurice Heiblum, president of Elluminate USA, Inc. “We believe representation in this influential industry report is validation of Elluminate’s strengths in the eLearning, online collaboration and Web conferencing market. Elluminate has a strong sense of identity as a company in the online teaching and learning segment, and will continue to grow and differentiate itself from the competition with innovative offerings like vRoom. Our current and future customers can be confident that they’re receiving the best products and support from our team.”
