Elluminate, Inc. Named "Strong Performer" By Independent Analysis Firm

Report on Web Conferencing Recognizes Elluminate Live!® for its Robust Video Functionality and Strong Accessibility Features

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, (June 14, 2006) — Elluminate, Inc., a leading provider of live eLearning and Web collaboration software for the real-time organization, today announced that it has been cited as a "strong performer" by Forrester Research in its Q2 2006 Forrester Wave™ Report on Web Conferencing. Forrester conducted a lab-based evaluation of six leading hosted Web conferencing products for the report, and evaluated vendors across 108 criteria.1

Elluminate's flagship product, Elluminate Live!® was noted by Forrester for its deep ADA compliance features, strong security features, usability over low bandwidth, excellent proven scalability and rich multimedia capabilities. A standout feature of Elluminate Live! is its breakout room capability, which allows participants in a Web conference to separate into individual rooms and host private meetings during the main conference.

"In addition to strong multimedia capabilities and a pricing structure that allows unlimited usage, the product has the deepest compliance with Rehabilitation Act Section 508 of any product we reviewed," noted Senior Analyst Claire Schooley in the Forrester Wave Vendor Summary. "Excellent multimedia playback supports simulations, virtual labs, movies, or Flash. Synchronized Web Tours are very rich, allowing users full independent interaction with a Website while the moderator remains in control and can bring everyone back to a site."

"As organizations grow, distance between workers widens and more employees are located outside the corporate headquarters, the need for Web conferencing software is increasing," said Maurice Heiblum, president of Elluminate USA, Inc. "Elluminate is dedicated to creating technologies that are accessible to all participants, and effective regardless of the connection speed or platform the participant is using. Forrester Research's selection of Elluminate Live! as a strong performer is further validation of our unique approach to Web conferencing and our dedication to providing the best possible user experience for our customers."
