Both products offer a version for on-premises meetings:
?– Adobe Acrobat Connect is a Web and videoconferencing solution built on Adobe??™s
Flash technology. Acrobat Connect provides good performance of both Web and
video features due in part to the fact that Flash is an established platform that has
proven itself reliable. Acrobat Connect provides integration features with Microsoft
Outlook and other applications in the Microsoft Offi ce suite; however, you may
fi nd that this integration is not as rich as OCS to Offi ce integration. Acrobat
Connect also offers a hosted conferencing option.
?– IBM Lotus Sametime provides an on-premises conferencing solution that integrates
heavily with Lotus Domino and Lotus Sametime Instant Messaging. IBM??™s
conferencing solution provides a similar experience to an OCS Live Meeting. A key
difference is that IBM relies on Java that is downloaded and run on the client when
the user fi rst enters the meeting, whereas OCS uses the installed Live Meeting client.
On-Premises vs. Hosted Live Meeting
Before deploying the conferencing features in OCS 2007, it is important that you
understand the differences between the traditional Hosted Live Meeting and the new
On-Premises Live Meeting. Hosted Live Meeting is a service provided and managed by
Microsoft, and On-Premises Live Meeting is a service supported by OCS. Sometimes you
will need to use one instead of the other due to some distinct differences in security,
features, and the number of conference attendees.
