"Vyew isn't just another WebEx or GotoMeeting where information is communicated in a canned one-to-many format," said Henry Hon, CEO of Vyew as he introduced Vyew version 2.5, which he called "one of the first online applications to fuse both live meeting and asynchronous collaboration capabilities to improve content collaboration, online meetings, and workflow."

Vyew, which recently emerged out of beta, is – said Hon – "an enterprise-class social computing platform where people can also create, share, and participate with rich content in a many-to-many relationship, both in real-time and asynchronously over time."

"With Vyew 2.5," Hon added, "people can create VyewBooks to share, present, and interact with other people around all forms of content such as Microsoft Office files, pictures, audio and video."

Tools to create new presentations are also included within the suite. Participants can also share their desktop view for live sharing of files, images, and Web sites.

The new version also enables people to print VyewBooks.

Vyew is what Hon called "business-ready," allowing companies to customize the browser-based application to reflect their corporate branding and ID.

Vyew is also introducing Multi-Language support for Asian, Cyrilic, and Arabic keyboard characters, Hon noted. 

"This broadens Vyew's functionality for globally dispersed teams," he said. "Software's migration to an online platform is facilitating new relationships between people and content."
