The internet opened up the universe to us

Internet Conferencing & Electronic WhiteBoard

The internet opened up the universe to us. But how have you profited from it in your business, other than email? A new class of products is now available which can bring immense benefits to anyone doing business with clients, suppliers, consultants all over the country and the planet. Generically called a "white board", it allows you to use a whiteboard for presentation with the screen of a computer program being projected on the white board while you can run the program from the white board. You can annotate over the screen image with electronic pens of various colors. You can save the screens, print those screens, and you can have this screen displayed over the internet to any number of people anywhere in the world on their computer screen.

You could use this to run live conferences with people in their office thousands of miles apart. You could use it for design reviews with each screen saved and printed for recording purposes. And in a teaching environment, the professor can hand out notes of everything discussed in class by saving and printing screens after each session.

FREE Trial Version of InterWrite Software

Powerful application program enhances individual, group or enterprise productivity and collaboration.

InterWrite™, a Microsoft Windows^®-based software application that enables users to annotate—using digital ink—directly over any screen image by simply selecting a pen from the floating tool bar.

Originally developed for GTCO CalComp's new multi-function conferencing tool, InterWrite MeetingBoard, InterWrite can also be used at the desktop with a number of the company's pen-input peripherals, as well as a mouse to a limited extent. InterWrite can be used in any setting where ideas are generated and teams are involved:

Engineering mark-up/Design reviews:

InterWrite allows engineering and design professionals to manipulate, then annotate, over 2D or 3D models generated from any Computer Aided Design (CAD) application running concurrently. InterWrite provides a powerful means of combining ideas with the CAD models using the most natural of input devices, the pen. A sequence of images generated at the meeting can be created, saved, viewed, printed and subsequently e-mailed. Since the images are saved in a self-executing file, meeting participants, suppliers and other outside business partners can now all be on the same page, even if they don't have InterWrite.

"InterWrite provides a natural means for technical professionals to communicate effectively with their counterparts in other departments," indicated Eric Timmons, general manager, GTCO CalComp. "Now they can take images created from their sophisticated design tools and effectively share them in real time with marketing, sales and operations personnel, reducing design time and improving time to market for new product introductions."

Brainstorming:

For brainstorming sessions, InterWrite allows blank note pages to be created for idea generation and note taking in up to 16 different colors. The flexible architecture and file formats of InterWrite allow note pages to be combined with other annotated materials generated from the Web, spreadsheets or any other applications. The integrated viewer allows previous material to be accessed and scrolled through so all content is immediately available to the group for review and updating in real-time.
Brainstorming sessions are made more productive through the use of electronic note taking and the ability to incorporate content from any application in the discussions.

Presentations:

The electronic annotation provided by InterWrite allows presenters using the InterWrite MeetingBoard to focus the attention of the audience by annotating and highlighting on top of a slide show presentation created using a presentation application such as PowerPoint^®. Each of these annotations can be saved, along with the underlying image, with a single menu selection using the one of InterWrite MeetingBoard's pens. The pen, with dual side buttons and integrated eraser, provides

greater functionality than a standard mouse for controlling and annotating presentations. Blank notes pages can be dynamically created and integrated in the presentation at any time using InterWrite, allowing presenters to explain a concept or take down action items without affecting the flow of the presentation.

Geographic Information Systems analysis:

For data-intensive applications such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the annotation capability provided by InterWrite allows analysis and planing around map data that was created with any Microsoft Windows-based mapping program. Emergency planning and disaster recovery are examples of applications that can benefit from participants seeing alternatives and proposals without having to operate the underlying application. Escape
routes, fire lines or other area boundaries can easily be annotated on top of the existing map without affecting the integrity of the underlying data, with the results being made immediately available to colleagues via e-mail.

"InterWrite's easy-to-use interface and floating toolbar enables complex information to be shared real-time in an easily accessible format," said Frank Augustino, vice president of sales for GTCO CalComp. As a result, team response can be significantly enhanced and improved for a variety of situations, whether in product development, business development or emergency management."

InterWrite provides a means to quickly annotate notes directly on an electronic document, engineering model, Web page, picture, or other screen image–providing the most efficient and effective way to share ideas with an audience at any location. InterWrite prepares all annotated content as a sequence of images, then saves the information in a single self-executing file for easy distribution, printing and archiving, making it convenient for colleagues to review the information without requiring them to have InterWrite or a separate viewer program. InterWrite can change the way you collaborate and work as a team by providing an efficient and effective means of sharing ideas at the individual, group and enterprise level.
