MARKET WIRE
July 19, 2005
ON24 Inc., the global leader in webcast and multimedia communication
solutions, today announced results for the 1st half of its 2005 fiscal
year, ending June 30th. Revenue for the 1st half grew by 60% over
the previous period, driven by strong growth in Europe and Asia; continued
demand from the enterprise, publishing, life sciences and government
sectors; and the successful launch of new products: ON24 Simple Audio,
and enhancements to ON24 Demo Webcasts.
The company's international expansion includes the formation of ON24,
Ltd. and the opening of a London office earlier this year. European
customers include Cartesis, VNU and Genesys Conferencing. In addition,
ON24 developed several local partners in the Asia-Pacific region to
support its business in the China, Korea, and Hong Kong markets.
ON24 signed more than 120 customer contracts in the 1st half of 2005,
notably with 3Com, Bracco Diagnostics, Crain Publishing, Juniper Networks,
Maverick Capital, Spansion, and Symbiotix. In the government sector,
ON24 was awarded its Federal Supply Schedule, GS-35F-046R, earlier
this year.
ON24 added two new products to its offerings. ON24 Simple Audio is
an easy-to-use product that allows for the quick creation of on-demand
audio webcasts with synchronized slides. The product also features
advanced registration and reporting capabilities. ON24 Demo Webcasts
allows for the integration of software or web-based product demonstrations
within events produced with the company's flagship product, Webcast
Center.
