[...] There are some big moves afoot in the enterprise IT world. Enterprises everywhere, including, the federal enterprise, are making pushes to be more open and transparent on items that should be open and more secure and protected on items that need to be kept private. These mega trends are important factors that will keep driving IT forward. Adobe seems well positioned to serve as these trends continue. http://ctovision.com/2008/06/enter-my-office-using-adobe-acrobat-connect/ [...]

Thanks for the reply. I am a big fan of Google Docs and Google sites, but must admit the real-time aspect of Connect appealed to me. In thinking more about Tanji's TT 2.0 concept, it seems a tool like Connect might be a vital component.

Matt,
Thanks much for the question. I still like both Adobe Connect and Acrobat.com For my very tiny but widely distributed operation acrobat.com is meeting most of my needs. But actually I'm also using Google Apps and it is really great as well– in certain key areas. I guess my bottom line conclusion is that we should all stay skilled in the use of multiple means of online coordination and collaboration.
More later,
Bob

So, how has this held up after a couple of months of use? Still a good value proposition?

George, thanks much for the comment. I bet most enterprises are not up to date on the lastest, but all should be, it is free to download.
Please check this out at your home office and let me know what you think.

Matt and others,
I appreciate the help and time spent yesterday putting Connect through the paces. All in all, I think this is a good system and is still the best one out there, but so far there is a capability I wish they had implemented differently. I wish they had fielded an integrated VOIP system that ties into the conference bridge system it comes with. Or maybe they have and I just haven't discovered how to use that.
Anyway, this will likely be a fuel saver for me.
Cheers,
Bob

Bob;
A quick comment… wanted to create an ID at acrobat.com from an "inside" unclass network. The site requires the latest Flash player, which I of course am not allowed to install. Will have to continue my exploration from home.
Thanks…

I opened a trial to play with this. Promising technology, though I had a few issues on the Mac with it needing to install software to host a meeting and the application crashing on exit. Next time you are online let me know as I would love to test for potential enterprise use. We used WebEx in the past, but it is not economical for what we needed to do and Adobe may fit the bill.

Interesting technology. It would be good if they introduced custom domains as well.
