Underserved Mac Community Can Now Host Real-Time Screen Sharing Sessions
In recent years, screen sharing over the Internet has brought enormous productivity advantages to all kinds of business, yet Mac users have been widely underserved. Glance is bridging the gap by extending its simple online screen sharing tool to the Mac community. Glance's new version brings Mac users the same lean, no nonsense design that PC-based users already enjoy in more than 2,600 companies worldwide. While Mac users have always been able to view Glance sessions, now they can host sessions as well. Glance's one-button interface makes it the simplest screen sharing tool available.
Glance Networks has announced a Mac version of Glance the one-button screen sharing tool that lets people instantly show their live computer screens to anyone online. Now both Mac and Windows PC users can deliver product demonstrations, sales presentations, web tours, training, creative reviews and technical support with Glance's one-button simplicity.
Quick, Simple Installation and Use
Using Glance on a Mac is easy. Sign-up and installation takes under two minutes. Users get to pick their own personal URLs. Session guests do not need any software. They connect instantly with nearly any PC, Mac or Linux computer -- even from highly secure environments. Once connected, guests see everything the host sees, in full color.
Ideal for Key Applications
Glance for the Mac is ideal for a range of business activities such as:
* Review creative. With Glance, Mac users can now share designs, photos, 3D renderings, sketches, simulations, charts or other creative work with colleagues and customers while they are on the phone. By doing so, they get comments early in the design process to avoid costly revisions.
* Demo products. Mac users can give sales prospects a high-touch sales experience by demonstrating applications, web services, designs, simulations or tools, right from the sales person's computer screen.
* Present slides. Glance for the Mac eliminates the hassle of emailing bulky presentations and allows users to show PowerPoints, Keynotes or other visuals in full color in real time.
* Help customers find the right product. With Glance, Mac users can show customers detailed product information from a web site or internal catalog while they are on the phone, which is ideal for companies with complex products or extensive catalog listings.
* Look over documents together. By using Glance, users can avoid endless rounds of revisions by going over spreadsheets, charts, slides or documents from several locations, all at the same time.
* Show meeting notes. Meetings by phone can be kept on track by letting everyone watch as their comments and decisions are recorded.
