Software Launches XStream RapidShare™ v1.0
Powerful
Hosted Web Environment and Digital Workspace Facilitates
Secure Web Communication, Collaboration, and Conferencing.
OTTAWA, Canada, June 1, 2004 - XStream
Software Inc., the leading provider of today's unmatched
E-learning, Authoring, and Administration/Tracking technologies,
has released XStream RapidShare v1.0,
XStream's easy-to-use, web-based enterprise-wide communication
and collaboration digital workspace. XStream RapidShare allows
distributed teams to create secure, interactive shared spaces
on the web to bring together information, people, and tools.
Whether the need is to collaborate and work on tasks/projects
at hand, share files/documents for knowledge transfer, or
conduct ad hoc meetings, demonstrations, events, training
sessions/classes, seminars, support sessions, or company
wide-broadcasts, XStream RapidShare fills the need by connecting
employees, customers, prospects, and partners - anywhere,
anytime - so they can work together more effectively and
efficiently.
XStream RapidShare uses a hierarchical project-based
methodology. A project is a shared, secure workplace on the
web in which designated members can work together, discuss
ideas, and share information. A project consists of various
objects (each of which contains secure data that is restricted
to designated members). Project objects may include Welcome
Pages (for welcoming project members, providing overview
information, etc.), Notifications (for providing
information about project details, upcoming meetings or chat
sessions, etc.), Mailbox (for receiving and storing
e-mails), Threaded Discussion Forums (for conducting
one-on-one discussions or discussions between multiple selected
members), Calendar (for keeping track of upcoming
events/activities), Folders (for organizing documents
and files), Files & Documents of Any Type (which
can be easily shared with other project members), Posted
Notes, Links (for creating shared links or shortcuts
to information resources such as web URLs or other projects), Chat
Rooms (for initiating text-based chat sessions with
other members), and Real-Time Teleconferencing or Desktop
Sharing Sessions (for sharing desktop files and applications
with other members, which is ideal for conducting online
meetings/events/demonstrations, web conferences, remote instructor-led
training sessions, seminars, support sessions, general web
casts, and more).
The XStream RapidShare technology
is a hosted solution
based on an ASP model. It enables clients to instantly
connect with other users around the world for personalized
engagements and conferences. This all-in-one secure
communication and collaboration platform is ideal for
distributed or global teams to access, organize, and work
jointly on projects 24/7. Users can share files, maintain
version control, conduct instant web meetings, save chats,
participate in discussion threads, and much more.
"In the past, the lack of user-friendly and
affordable web technology has prevented some companies from fully utilizing
the communication and collaboration potential of the web," says Sunil
K. Sethi, XStream's President and CEO. “XStream RapidShare is
the effective solution for personalized web-based interactions
and collaborations on projects of all types, including new
product development and delivery, client engagements, program
management, supplier and channel management, global sales
and marketing campaigns, and e-learning."
"The XStream RapidShare technology can provide
enormous benefits to any organization with a need for real-time,
simultaneous communication and collaboration on the web," says Mahendra
K. Agrawal, XStream's Vice President of Technology. "We
fully expect XStream RapidShare to revolutionize the communication,
support, and sharing of information between us and our clients."
