Newpoint Announces Partnership with Indorion


SAN FRANCISCO, April 16 // -- Web 2.0 Expo Conference -- WebEx (NASDAQ:WEBX), the leading provider of on-demand applications for collaborative business, today launched the WebEx Connect Developer Network, a comprehensive program for developers building applications for the WebEx Connect Marketplace. With development tools, community resources and go-to- market programs, the WebEx Connect developer program offers everything a developer needs to create collaborative business mashups.

"WebEx Connect can help enable third-party integration and lead generation activities for small software developers," Erin TenWolde, senior analyst for IDC's Software as a Service program. "On-demand delivery models are challenging traditional software channels and SaaS platforms such as WebEx Connect could play a key role in the new distribution paradigm."

WebEx Connect is the first collaborative on-demand platform for composite application development and distribution. The free WebEx Connect client will allow users to select best-of-breed applications from the WebEx Connect Marketplace, other on-demand application marketplaces or traditional on- premises software, to create collaborative mashup applications customized for their particular business processes. WebEx Connect go-to-market programs can help developers market, generate leads and even sale their applications. Learn more about the WebEx Connect Network at http://community.webex.com/connect

Developers can access WebEx Connect documentation, APIs, a "sandbox" development platform and join the partner program to access a prototype WebEx Connect client. WebEx Connect partner marketing services can help developers generate go-to-market strategies and leads for the applications on the WebEx Connect marketplace. The WebEx Connect Developer Network gives companies and ISVs a unique distribution channel by leveraging the extensive marketing, lead generation and sales resources of WebEx.

"Just as RSS, newsreaders and Google transformed the content world, WebEx Connect with its distribution, integration and monetization platform will help to transform software," said Shankar Iyer, vice president, strategic initiatives, WebEx. "WebEx Connect creates a new paradigm for the software suite by allowing customers to integrate best-of-breed applications into a collaborative, business mashup tailored for their needs."

WebEx provides on-demand collaboration applications to individuals, small businesses and enterprise organizations. WebEx applications combine both synchronous and asynchronous collaboration capabilities and enable businesses to leverage the web as an efficient channel for interaction with customers, partners and co-workers. WebEx Connect, the first collaborative on-demand platform, enables developers and customers to integrate multiple applications to create powerful collaborative business "mashup" solutions from web-based, on-premises and desktop applications. WebEx Connect brings together people, process and data in a collaborative workspace designed for the way business people work today.
