(515) 225-3720 Prairie Group Ships QuickConference IP with Windows Server Instant Communication for Mac and Windows Networks Now Available West Des Moines, Iowa, July 27, 1998 - Prairie Group ships QuickConference IP now with Windows server software. QuickConference IP is an instant messaging application for use within small to mid-sized businesses with Windows and Macintosh users. QuickConference IP is designed to solve the communication problems businesses face each day within the office. With it, questions can be answered instantly and issues can be discussed and resolved without waiting for replies to E-mail messages, playing phone tag or arranging face-to-face conversations. Now, everyone in a company can discuss important issues and answer questions within minutes, not hours. For example, the president of a company needs to notify the management team of a last-minute meeting, but cannot spend time calling each person or waiting for responses to E-mail. With QuickConference IP the entire group is alerted within seconds. Also, a receptionist needs to notify a salesperson that an important client is on the phone without interrupting his current telephone conversation. The receptionist simply sends an instant message via QuickConference IP letting the salesperson know that someone is trying to reach him. The salesperson can also quickly reply with an instant message that tells the receptionist that a message should be taken or the caller should be asked to hold. A key tool for businesses that need real-time collaboration, QuickConference IP utilizes either a Windows server requiring Windows 95/98 or NT with at least a 486 or Mac OS 7.6.1 with a Power Macintosh. The Windows client requires Windows 95/98 or NT; the Macintosh client software runs on 68K or PowerMac with System 7.1 or better. Best of all, unlike other instant messaging products, QuickConference IP can be used by organizations with, or without, a connection to the Internet. This method keeps confidential messages secure within the company. Furthermore, the QuickConference IP server verifies its users. No one can log on and pretend to be another person.
