Famous Quotes


Platform Perils
• Performance • Intellectual Property

• Security • Ease of Use

• Cost to Build • Gamadox

• Cost to buy and lease • Zombieism

• Time to Learn • Ghost Towns

• Vendor Health • Blindness


Custom Spaces Mater
• Adoption rate varies
• 24% with cubicles, 78% with custom spaces, can sag to 50% without
momentum. The more people are in the more beneficial it is.
Metcalfe's law states that the value of telecommunications network is
proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the
system (n2). (Source: wikipedia)

• Pilot with over 400 people


Cross Check
Bill, I think this is very accurate. Because I’m able to hear clearly and
know who is speaking it saves a lot of redundant
conversations. Honestly I’d say your Meeting Flow saving is too low. I
can do more in 20 minutes using Sococo than most can in 30 minute
WebEx ™. But some of that is PM technique as well.

Plus Sococo ® keeps you more engaged and productive in your
meetings because your laptop is viewing Sococo, not email.
