CureSeq finds its online meeting cure
CureSeq also uses WebEx for internal meetings. In some cases, a
small group of three to five team members will use only the audio
portion of WebEx. Other times, the meeting space is critical to
share information. CureSeq team members may be presenting
research findings or results of tests they’re working on. In these
cases, they can share an application or their desktops. It allows the
team to have highly interactive meetings that are more engaging
than a one-way presentation.

Friedman notes the flexibility and the tools available with the
WebEx mobile app. She relates how she joined a meeting
from her iPad: “I went to the calendar invite. It automatically
opened the mobile app and asked if I wanted to call from my
iPad.” Participating from her tablet gave her the ability to access
other devices while she was listening to the meeting. When key
material was presented, she was able to take a snapshot of the
slide being shown by holding down the home and power buttons
simultaneously. The snapshots were then available in her photo
library. She could also make notes about the slide, something that
would not have been possible if she had been using her computer.

on not-so-good leads.”
