Present Pro is an easy-to-use, low-cost alternative for presenting visual media to anyone, anywhere

COLUMBUS, OH — January 21, 2004 — CeraNet Inc. continues to deliver innovative, e-business solutions to its clients to help them solve complex business issues in the easiest and most economical ways. CeraNet recently released Present Pro, their powerful and low cost Web-based product that empowers its clients to increase productivity and reduce costs by delivering PowerPoint presentations over the Internet at any time and from any place.

According to a recent report by technology analyst firm Gartner, Inc., the real-time collaboration market segment has experienced and will continue to experience strong growth primarily due to technology improvements, safety concerns and continued global economic pressures.

“People travel millions of miles a year around the world to communicate with their clients, employees and business partners,” said Anthony Nocera, president of CeraNet, Inc. “Present Pro breaks down geographical communication barriers to allow businesses to collaborate instantly without the hassle, cost and time commitment required by travel.”

Present Pro ( http://www.presentpro.com ) provides an economical alternative to high cost online presentation systems, as it allows businesses to deliver an unlimited number of live, Internet-based presentations for $19.95 per month. There are no additional investments, deployment costs or licensing fees for hardware or software, and users can cancel their subscription at any time. Users only need a Web browser and an Internet connection to begin using Present Pro when it’s most convenient for them – 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

Present Pro is simple to set up and easy to use, as account activation, administration and utilization are all accomplished through www.presentpro.com. Upon account activation, each business receives its own personal Present Pro Web site that serves as a resource center for all of its presentation and administration needs.

Each Present Pro client can customize its presentation Web site to fit its specific needs. Through the site, businesses can moderate presentations, personalize site text, and display details about upcoming presentations. They can access presentation logs that allow them to gauge the effectiveness of their presentations by viewing the number of people who attend their online meetings, the duration of those attendees’ visits and other relevant information. Businesses can also administer their account through the resource center, and print their bills to easily manage their financial records.

“Large corporations have been using Internet-based presentation technology for years,” added Nocera. “Until now, the technology has been far too expensive and cumbersome for the average small business owner or entrepreneur to use, but Present Pro’s economical price and easy administration have made cost-effective, streamlined Web presentations a reality.”

“Present Pro provides the easiest, most effective way for us to communicate with our employees and global clients,” said Mark Browning, a current Present Pro client. “Whether I am presenting to customers, working with our sales team, training our customer support staff or running a brainstorming session with our product designers, Present Pro offers the most convenient, time-saving way to communicate in our global marketplace.”
