ADOBE® ACROBAT® CONNECT™ PROFESSIONAL for Web Conferencing Provides Easy Access, Richer Experience, and Broad Extensibility

Unlike WebEx, Acrobat Connect Professional utilizes the Player, already installed on over 97% of web browsers , so that users inside and out of your organization already have everything they need to instantly access online meetings, regardless of software platform or browser used. Being based on Flash also allows for a far richer and easier meeting experience than WebEx, which requires a 5 MB download. In addition, Acrobat Connect Professional comes in both licensed and hosted versions, enabling you to choose the option that works best for your company. And Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional extends beyond web conferencing, offering a complete solution for virtual classrooms, tracking and reporting of training activities, and an easy on-demand content creation tool.
