Purpose of the SOHO Report

This report sets out to facilitate individuals, professionals and small companies and groups to identify and easily select Web conferencing and live presentation tools that are most appropriate for the user specific communication need, content type and budget.

I, Luigi Canali De Rossi, wanted to create a report that challenges the existing publications available on Web conferencing and live presentation tools and that provides unique and hard-to-get information to individuals and small groups.

The principal purpose of this report is enabling people outside of large organizations and corporations to start leveraging the effectiveness and reach of online live communication.

My key goals before and during the preparation of this report have also been:

To create a report that is both unique and complementary to existing resources on this topic available online and in print.
To serve individuals and small companies which have different requirements, needs and budgets from the organizations presently using these systems.
To be as exhaustive as possible in including all of the tools that passed my selection criteria. (This can never be accomplished fully as new tools keep appearing every month. In this respect I have opted for having a 2nd edition in 3 months time).
To verify and test personally each and every tool to be included in the report.
Not to stand by marketing info available online, brochures, specification sheets, but to verify first-hand, wherever possible, the effectiveness, reliability and functionality of each tool.
