As global connection continues to grow vastly on the Internet, Estarta implemented MECA Communications, Inc. vision and created a unique way to communicate in real time via MECA instant messaging software, a premium promotional tool for today's most content-rich sites.
'The key utility that we have developed for MECA is interoperability in which other IM accounts such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL and ICQ instant messenger can be run from within MECA allowing people and companies to communicate in real time through their preferred IM software', says Ennis Rimawi, President and Chairman at Estarta.
Trading digital images (skin sharing) directly from MECA user to MECA user during sessions in real time not only has become very popular but also intensifies the communication in expressing hobbies, brand loyalties and with this removing differences and cultural barriers.
'The major functionality that MECA was build on is skin sharing. You can choose your skin from around 3000 skins library available for download from www.meca.com . Another leading functionality is the integration of instant translations. MECA now supports 8 different languages that help Users to communicate in the simplest manner,' remarks Alaa Fada, project manager at Estarta Solutions.
'MECA is going to have a huge impact on promotions and advertising. We all know that for sure.... What I am also certain of, is that MECA's impact is going to be FAR more amazing as it serves its purpose of connecting people around the world regardless of language or background', says Bruce Klickstein, CTO MECA Communications Inc.
Estarta has been the exclusive software product development partner of Meca Communications. Estarta efficiently executes on Meca's product plan, thus allowing Meca to focus on its core business, marketing, sales, product definition, and client support. Estarta has, been working with Meca for several years, through multiple product cycles,and as a result has really helped turn Meca's product visions into reality. Both companies are looking forward to continued success through this relationship.
'I am impressed and pleased how Estarta responded and produced results when necessary. This level of commitment and enthusiasm is what will get us where we need to go as a partnership.' adds Bruce Klicktstein.
