The
base program is text-based chat but eReview also will feature voice
over IP, which can save some hefty phone charges, and will also have
the video portion of conferencing.
In chat mode, eReview has traditional text chat features, such as typing
for all the group to see, whispering from one member to another or directing
comments or questions specifically to another participant.

Users
can zoom in on documents either on the document itself or on a
pop up window, which leaves the zoomed out version still accessible
and visible.

Another nice
feature is that, not only are meeting participants not required to install
the different applications used to design the review documents or drawings
(and eReview supports a whopping 150 applications including scanned
and other raster images, vector formats, postscript, and PDF, printer
outputs, WORD, EXCEL, ACCESS, text, CAD 2D and 3D drawings and, eventually
3D modeling), paricipants also need not install eReview on their desktops.

Documents
can be tiled onscreen -- in this case four different documents
or you could tile different views of the same document.

a larger view, click on the document.

eReview also doesn't force you to upload files to their server in order
to share them. You can actually retrieve them from your own hard disk
and display them for discussion. Documents are tiled onscreen and remain
there as you open new documents, and according to the company you can
have as many documents open at one time as you want, which makes it
very easy to flip to different documents during the collaborations.

eReview's
toolbar on the left of the screen exhibits which permissions the
attendee has been given by the meeting leader. In the upper right
is where the leader sets those permissions.

For record keeping, the entire meeting can be logged including the text
chat, the document discussions and revisions and even who came into
the meeting, who left, and at what times.
