I’d like to further explain some details about our upcoming Genesys Meeting Center 4.03 release, scheduled for the end of November. We’re really excited to make several new features available to our customers as they all make Genesys Meeting Center even easier to use.

Probably the coolest new feature is the ability for any shared presentation or application to be automatically scaled to fit the participant’s screen. Participants will also have the option to easily scale in and out with a neat little magnifying glass icon.
As Erik mentioned, this release also includes integration support for the Lotus Notes IM client. Users will be able to easily and quickly invite Lotus Notes users via their IM buddy lists.

Improvements to the user interface include a simple tool to dial out to additional participants via the “basic” view option as well as the ability to set notification tone control directly from the interface. With this feature, moderators will have the ability (on the fly) to enable or disable entry and exit tones or to set “Name Record/Playback” as an option. This is really handy for knowing who is in your meeting as well as who is trying to sneak out early.

For our Asian customers, the initial login interface will support Japanese and the two major versions of Chinese (Traditional and Simplified).

And lastly, we now fully support the new Microsoft Vista OS as well as Office 2007 for any users that have taken the plunge.

Thanks and look for future updates coming soon!
