ATLANTA, Feb 27, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cox Business Services, LLC, an affiliate of Cox Communications, Inc., today announced the launch of Cox Webconferencing - the latest addition to its rapidly expanding business product portfolio.

Cox has engaged Raindance Communications, Inc. (formerly known as Evoke Communications, Inc.), a leading provider of virtual meeting services, to bring the product to Cox markets. Cox business customers can now enjoy fully automated, full-featured, Web-enabled meetings on demand.

These features include muting/un-muting, real-time listing of current participants, electronic posting of questions and comments, and recording of the webconference so that absentee participants can hear and view the proceedings at a later date and time.

"Our customers expect us to offer leading-edge communications solutions that are practical and cost effective for their business," said Chuck McElroy, vice president and general manager of Cox Business Services. "Now more than ever, our business customers are looking to the Web to provide less expensive yet effective ways to meet, train and share information."
