A few weeks ago, I got to test-drive eReview and I must say, I was impressed. It was easy to communicate, to view and manipulate documents and drawings. And it was flexible, an overused word but one which applies here, since meeting participants are able to, independent of the meeting, take advantage of capabilities such as zoon and view different documents during the meeting without affecting the meeting leader's agenda. -- Denise Harrison

eReview is a Web-based collaboration system in which attendees can retrieve, view and annotate documents and drawings together in a real-time. It is application independent, meaning I don't need to have AutoCAD loaded to participate in an AutoCAD collaboration. That's great when hiring non-CAD software users to help with installations.

Chat appears in an unintrusive section of the screen on the right. For a larger view, click on the document.

The meeting chairperson has authority to control attendee permissions, including viewer privileges, markup and annotation, and control of the meeting. eReview allows selective markups and redacting, and one of the truly handy features is that it can let the person uploading a document block certain confidential or proprietary portions of the document from specified attendees. Permissions don't have to be set in stone before the meeting -- they can be changed at any time during the meeting by the leader.

User markups appear in color. For a larger view, click on the document.
