MEETINGSENSE SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES GROUND-BREAKING MEETING INFORMATION AND ACTION ITEM COLLABORATION SOLUTION

MeetingSense 3.0 Empowers Teams and Organizations to Optimize Efficiency, Maximize Productivity, and Save Precious Time and Money

San Diego, CA - July 08, 2008 - MeetingSense Software Corporation today announced their industry changing online meeting productivity solution that will radically enhance the way teams manage meeting information and action item accountability. With today’s announcement, MeetingSense becomes one of the only solutions to directly focus on providing an intuitive way to comprehensively manage meeting information and track action items in an online collaborative environment.

MeetingSense 3.0 is an affordable Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that empowers users to easily capture, instantly distribute, and then collaboratively track and manage meeting information, action items, and files online in real-time. Since 2006, MeetingSense solutions have proven to eliminate an average of seven hours of wasted time per week per user, save thousands of dollars in operational costs per user, and provide organizations with standardized meeting structure and best practices. MeetingSense has helped to optimize meetings and projects at more than 500 organizations--serving thousands of users –at companies like, Cisco, Dell, Pfizer, HP, Deloitte & Touche, Honeywell, Visa, and the National Institute of Health.

“There are some great collaboration tools out there, but there’s no single solution that’s laser focused on one of the most important business 2.0 needs… capturing, distributing, and collaboratively managing the lifecycle of meeting information and action items,” said Hannon Brett, President, MeetingSense Software. “MeetingSense 3.0 will provide this missing link in business productivity, by helping organizations work more effectively to drive successful meeting and project outcomes. MeetingSense 3.0 is the culmination of years of extensive market research, the constant integration of customer feedback, and a deep learned understanding of how to fill this critical business need most effectively. MeetingSense 3.0 is the quintessential collaborative meeting solution that will fundamentally change the way that organizations utilize their meetings to be more productive.”

The new version of MeetingSense is available as SaaS to optimize ROI, lower usage barriers, decrease ownership costs, and eliminate IT burden. Key new features include:

Revolutionary collaborative team meeting information and action item management
Tight integration with Microsoft Outlook to provide standardized best practices
Absolute data security with redundancy, back up, and privacy -- all without IT impact
Free action item management for non-MeetingSense users
Full text search for complete meeting information and action item transparency
Wiki-like pre and post-meeting collaboration with audit trails and file management
Professional templates for proper meeting minutes capture

"MeetingSense is different from many of the other collaboration tools focused on meetings,” said David Coleman, Founder and Managing Director, Collaborative Strategies. “Most of those are web conferencing tools and allow you to have an agenda for a meeting and set the meeting up. However MeetingSense is one of the only tools I know of that rather than just getting you to the meeting, gets you "through" the meeting, making meetings more efficient and effective. Version 3 focuses more on team communications with wiki-like features and supports accountability through full text search and the ability to search and manage action items. If you are looking for a place to save money, meetings may be your low hanging fruit!"

The more than 500 companies that have already implemented MeetingSense, report saving up to seven hours of wasted time every week for each user by automating pre, during, and post meeting information management. This equates to an average of more than $15,000 (wage-basis) of operational bottom-line cost savings per user, per year. In addition to saving companies valuable time and money during tough economic times, MeetingSense 3.0 will help:

* Eliminate information loss
* Ensure regulatory compliance – CMMI, SOX, HIPPA, Six Sigma, etc.
* Reduce network traffic and storage burden
* Provide enterprise meeting information transparency and accountability
* Help to establish standardized meeting best practices that ensure project success

BlueLock selected MeetingSense because they needed a simple and powerful way to properly prepare for meetings, while capturing and efficiently managing all essential information shared during meetings – including audio, notes, key points, and action items; providing for full accountability tracking.

“Before we adopted MeetingSense, action items were slipping through the cracks,” said John Qualls, CEO, BlueLock.” With MeetingSense, we have less meetings, reliable note capturing, better follow-up, and a more professional perception of communication.”

Since implementing MeetingSense, Qualls reports that he has personally reduced his meeting time by 15 percent, saving $20,000 annually in productivity gains, while increasing efficiency and reducing miscommunication with individual action items.

“MeetingSense is priceless to me and my organization,” he said.

Leading Distributed Software Development Firm Standardizes on MeetingSense 2.0

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 5, 2007 -- MeetingSense Software Corporation today announced that CoreObjects Inc., a leading provider of distributed cooperative software development services for commercial software vendors, has standardized their organization on MeetingSense 2.0, estimated to save CoreObjects up to $5,000 per power user in their 400+ person company.

Due to their heavily distributed meeting-rich environment CoreObjects needed a solution that would not only capture meeting notes, decisions, and help to manage action items, but would also improve the efficiency and professionalism of their company's meeting output. In addition they needed a solution that would require little or no training, that integrated with their existing habits, and that was affordable to deploy and maintain.

CoreObjects chose MeetingSense 2.0 as it provided them a simple but powerful way to properly prepare for meetings, and then collaborate by easily capturing and efficiently managing all of the essential information shared during meetings -- including audio, notes, key points, and action items; providing for full accountability tracking.

"We help companies launch products, so we are in meetings every day with clients where the decisions made have real dollar implications," said Patrick Ravenel, Senior Vice President of Delivery at CoreObjects. "Our business is about providing customers with complete visibility into the product development process. We need meeting notes and action items to be captured and distributed quickly and in a professional way. The benefits of MeetingSense became apparent as soon as we began using it. The first day, we had customers comment that they were shocked by how fast we distributed the meeting minutes and how they were so easy to use. MeetingSense helps us deliver on our promise of high predictability and productivity to our customers."

With MeetingSense 2.0, CoreObjects was able to create individual repositories for each user's meeting minutes and data shared in internal projects as well as external customer meetings. The repository is made available to the user via an organized, intuitive dashboard that makes finding meeting records and assigned action items incredibly simple. This makes it possible to find any meeting, action item, or document as well as all of its contents and related information in one spot in just a couple clicks.

Product use started with one individual and is currently being rolled out to much of the 400+ person staff of CoreObjects.

MEETINGSENSE SOFTWARE PROVIDES LEADING 3D GRAPHICS CARD PROVIDER A COMPETITIVE EDGE BY STREAMLINING MEETINGS

MeetingSense Saves BFG Technologies Time and Money

San Diego, CA—October 17, 2007—MeetingSense Software Corporation today announced that BFG Technologies, a U.S. based supplier of premium NVIDIA-based 3D graphics cards, has implemented MeetingSense 2.0, saving the company’s marketing department valuable time and money.
BFG selected MeetingSense because they needed an easy-to-use solution that would integrate into their current workflow to automate and solve the inefficiencies associated with meeting management, including: capturing notes, documents, decisions, assigning action items, and the distribution and management of this critical information quickly and easily.

Previously, like many organizations, BFG’s workflow inefficiently leveraged a patchwork of solutions like email, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Outlook to schedule meetings and capture meeting data. Immediately after implementing MeetingSense, the company began enjoying significant benefits.

“MeetingSense brought structure to a process that had been chaotic,” said Dean Brady, Sr. Director of Marketing at BFG Technologies. “MeetingSense has enhanced the company’s ability to stay competitive in a demanding field. From the first meeting, there was ‘zero resistance’ to adoption throughout the marketing department. It was clear to everyone that MeetingSense was what we needed to stay on top of our game.”

MeetingSense saves BFG employees an average of 1.5 hours per week, per person; extrapolate those savings to a company of 100 employees and the company saves 195 work days, or 6.5 months of time a year, which has a huge impact on a company’s bottom line on a wage basis.

BFG employees now use MeetingSense to capture all aspects of their meetings, and to assign action items. After a meeting, users instantly distribute a comprehensive MeetingSense meeting summary and any action item assignments to participants.

“All employees using MeetingSense are unanimously positive about the experience,” Brady said. “Everybody raves about it. It helps them because they instantly get a consistent summary of information and action items coming out of each meeting. They can quickly see what they need to know and what they are responsible for.”

The video card and gaming industry is an extremely competitive and fast-paced marketplace in which speed in both product development and product marketing is essential to success. Now, using MeetingSense, BFG Technologies has gained a competitive advantage by using a standard method for managing meeting minutes and tracking action items across the organization.

“BFG is just one of our many customers quickly realizing that they can’t function without MeetingSense,” said Hannon Brett, President, MeetingSense Software Corporation “BFG has begun to use MeetingSense with external clients as well to save time and to provide a general impression of professionalism.”
