Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, (June 14, 2006) —
Elluminate, Inc., a leading provider of live eLearning and Web collaboration
software for the real-time organization, today announced that it has been
cited as a "strong performer" by Forrester Research in its Q2 2006 Forrester
Wave™ Report on Web Conferencing. Forrester conducted a lab-based
evaluation of six leading hosted Web conferencing products for the
report, and evaluated vendors across 108 criteria.

Elluminate's flagship product, Elluminate
Live!® was noted by
Forrester for its deep ADA compliance features, strong security features, usability
over low bandwidth, excellent proven scalability and rich multimedia capabilities.
A standout feature of Elluminate Live! is its breakout room capability, which
allows participants in a Web conference to separate into individual rooms and
host private meetings during the main conference.
"In addition to strong multimedia capabilities and a pricing structure that
allows unlimited usage, the product has the deepest compliance with Rehabilitation
Act Section 508 of any product we reviewed," noted Senior Analyst Claire Schooley
in the Forrester Wave Vendor Summary. "Excellent multimedia playback supports
simulations, virtual labs, movies, or Flash. Synchronized Web Tours are very
rich, allowing users full independent interaction with a Website while the
moderator remains in control and can bring everyone back to a site."
"As organizations grow, distance between workers widens and more employees are
located outside the corporate headquarters, the need for Web conferencing software
is increasing," said
Maurice Heiblum, president of Elluminate
USA, Inc. "Elluminate is dedicated to creating technologies that are accessible to
all participants, and effective regardless of the connection speed or platform the
participant is using. Forrester Research's selection of Elluminate Live! as a strong
performer is further validation of our unique approach to Web conferencing and our
dedication to providing the best possible user experience for our customers."
