This week we are covering a new sponsor, Siterra. Siterra provides a web based project management and property management system for cell phone towers. Their services can also be utilized with other real estate related products as their web based solutions generally offers a Real Estate Management Software solution for many items from oil rigs, to outdoor advertising displays to retail stores and corporate offices.

Cell phone towers as an example can prove to be a major challenge to manage for owners. The towers have to be inspected, inventory of the components on and in the tower premises has to be monitored, equipment maintenance has to be scheduled, maintenance of the land and access routes needs to be kept up, upgrades and service needs to be performed and more.

Plus all of this has to be done for many wireless carrier customers as any given tower may hold antennas and equipment for multiple wireless carriers covering a particular area. The need for a project management solution in this situation is very high and Siterra offers a web based solution to meet these needs.

Filmator.net provides an interesting online solution for creating video slide shows.  Users can bring together an audio file in an MP3 format and bring in a series of images or slides and put them together online through Filmator’s solution producing an online presentation.

The images can be set to trigger at specific times throughout the audio file, with many advanced options like layering and fading the images in and out through transitions.

The service will even resize images to standardize them during the import phase.  I have looked for a service like this for some time and this appears to be a very easy way to go about it.  The process is very thorough and includes many steps along the way for setting up title pages and the appropriate tags.

Users could achieve a similar effect by purchasing software from Adobe and working in flash, but that can be very expensive.

Below is a video from filmator.net that walks a user through a tutorial for creating a video that I found very helpful in understanding their process.

In general the service is free to artists and charges commercial interests for the work they do utilizing the online service.  You can view the video on their site in a full page screen also.

This is one of the more comprehensive tools that I have found like this on the web.  It is very thorough and as such can deliver a very useful and complete presentation replete with the appropriate tags and descriptions and items that make these types of presentations extra useful.

Mindjet MindManager Instant Meeting Powered by WebEx

MindManager has a new integration offering focused on Web Conferencing Services. This time with WebEx. The integration looks solid enough judging it by the Quick Tour. I’d have to question the need for integration though as most web meeting software can achieve a similar result. WebEx has always seemed a bit expensive to me (ignoring MS Livemeeting rates all together).

For two thirds the monthly rate I can get a similar experience from GoTo meeting. Doesn’t include the free trial month if your new to GoToMeeting.

For any users that have tried the WebEx offer, if there is a portion of the integration that I’m missing, please fill me in. I would like to see the value in the offering if its there.

Correction - Title of this article originally published on 3-18, has been corrected from Weblink to WebEx. Body of Article corrected also.
