Through its powerful Internet communications technology, LiveTutor offers an impressive array of business and management tools to the business community. These virtual products have been designed specifically to meet the need for the efficient, timely and accurate sharing of information critical to the successful management of business in today's fast-paced environment. While BusinessForum products are easy to use, they are built to meet the absolute security requirements for managing and transacting business activities at every level. The following paragraphs outline a number of the functions that make LiveTutor's BusinessForum suite of products such a valuable asset for any business enterprise.

Through the use of LiveTutor's virtual BusinessForum software, any number of individuals may participate in live meetings over the Internet. Meetings may be scheduled in advance or called on short notice. While the meeting leader maintains control, he or she may invite others to conduct portions of the meeting and to share such information as may be appropriate for meeting participants.

In addition to the live video and audio capabilities of LiveTutor's products, those conducting meetings may utilize many other tools including the use of PowerPoint presentations, playback of previously recorded meetings, and fully interactive application sharing and whiteboard functions. Meeting participants may 'raise their hands' electronically using the LiveTutor instant messaging chat functions. Meeting leaders may also display and allow participants to download agendas and other graphics or written materials associated with the meeting and thus avoid the time and cost of copying and printing and distributing those materials.

LiveTutor's suite of BusinessForum products will benefit the management process in every business function—from boardroom to mailroom. While a board member might be out of the area at the time of the meeting of the corporation's board of directors, there is no need to cancel or postpone that meeting. LiveTutor BusinessForum makes it easy to hold the meeting with all directors participating and sharing all materials. Managers will now have the freedom to schedule meetings and to collaborate, regardless of conflicting schedules and distant locations.

Within the sales function, BusinessForum software can be used to introduce new products, make calls, place or confirm orders, or even sell products through the use of LiveTutor's SalesTable feature. Similarly, HR personnel may conduct preliminary screening interviews and discuss applicant resumes before incurring the travel expenses necessary to bring the candidates in for face-to-face interviews.

BusinessForum products also have broad applications within the legal and financial functions of business. Contracts may be discussed under the control of the meeting moderator, with the ability to modify or add provisions to the actual written document using LiveTutor's application sharing. Financial executives may easily review forecasts, financial statements and other materials with others in any location. They may elect to use LiveTutor technology for investor or shareholder meetings with hundreds of participants using PowerPoint and other tools which were never available with telephone conference calls.

The scope of potential uses for LiveTutor's BusinessForum is nearly limitless. Not only have these products greatly increased the ease of holding meetings, but the range of tools available for the dissemination of information has been dramatically broadened.

All meetings may be archived for later retrieval and review by the appropriate parties. This important function allows those who are unable to attend the live meeting, or who wish to review it, to view it in its entirety at another time.

The need for absolute security in the business environment of today is critical. LiveTutor products employ a number of security provisions including password protection, privilege-based user authentication, SSL login encryption and password storage encryption.

Through BusinessForum, LiveTutor offers a full range of collaboration, information delivery, training and management solutions to the business community. Business meetings may be conducted between participants within the same building, city or across the world without expense and inconvenience of business travel in today's environment. Proposals may be made and transactions completed securely and efficiently. A complete range of business communications and collaboration capabilities—from board meetings to training classes, from recruiting to sales and negotiating sessions—are now easily and securely available over the internet. The BusinessForum suite offers greatly increased flexibility and efficiency to the business enterprise in conducting its affairs.
